Napoli are in a very challenging schedule. On Wednesday the Partenopeans faced Arsenal as part of the Champions League. Almost the entire match the Azzurri spent at their own goal, and the London club secured a deserved narrow victory. In the previous league round, Allegri's men led by two goals but lost to Inter 3-2. Before that there was a home defeat to Como. Bologna collected their first points last Sunday. The derby with Sassuolo started far from ideal. The Rossoblu, thanks to Doig's goal, went ahead in the 19th minute. The Rossoblu began to rectify the situation from the start of the second half. However, at Piccoli's goal Sassuolo answered with another strike past Skorupski. The Felsinei managed to stave off the comeback only in stoppage time thanks to Dovbik's goal. A round earlier Bologna suffered a minimal defeat in Bergamo, despite having created more for the result. And in the first round match, Tedesco's men lost to Lazio under similar circumstances. Three times the teams met last season. In the league, Rossoblu beat the Partenopeans twice. At the Diego Armando Maradona stadium the Felsinei won 2-3, at Renato Dell'Ara 2-0. However, the Azzurri were stronger in the Italian Super Cup match. Bologna, it should be noted, underperformed significantly on key statistical metrics. Thus, according to xG, they could have scored 4.31 more goals. Meanwhile, in three matches the Rossoblu would have earned 5.82 more points according to xPTS. Napoli are not only in poor form but also have squad issues. For example, in Milan they themselves asked for substitutions for Hojlund and Lobotka, Anguissa and Neres missed the Champions League match and their league return is in question, and McTominay underwent a surgical procedure and will be unavailable for a couple of weeks. Moreover, in the match against the Londoners, Meret and Alisson Santos were substituted due to injuries. Some internal friction adds to the ambiguity. Besides the Noa Lang conflict with the coach, during the Arsenal game there was an altercation between De Bruyne and Di Lorenzo. It is clear that Napoli are facing problems on all fronts. Overall Bologna has decent chances to pick up points in this match. And you can certainly bet on such an event with a small margin.
