Napoli vs Bologna Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, the Neapolitan team leaves as favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it possesses, which serves to be lethal in the San Paolo stadium. For this reason and even when its rival is uncomfortable to overcome, we believe that the Ancelotti boys have what it takes to score a goal in the first 45 ‘minutes of play. Considering this, we believe that the bet “Napoli will score in the first half” is interesting to bet. In the end, the goal may come by the specific play or by some action drawn from the core area.
Napoli :
The Neapolitan team visited Inter at Giuseppe Meazza last Wednesday and lost 1-0 to the end with a goal from Lautaro MartÃnez. Currently has 41 units in the tournament, being 9 of the leader Juventus. He missed a valuable opportunity to narrow the gap with the “bianconeros”, now being his goal to keep the second place and the classification to the next Champions League. He has scored 34 goals and has given 15 on his fence, proving to be an explosive set against the weakest rivals in the Italian league. The opposite happens when you face the most competitive, because you always have problems to overcome them.
As a local at the San Paolo stadium, Napoli has reaped positive results, except for the occasional draw there (1-1 against Roma and 0-0 against Chievo). Of there, in more, it added 7 defeats in total, being the last one before SPAL the last weekend (1-0). He has scored 20 goals and has received 4 in his fence, standing out for being lethal in attack and very compact in defensive matters. It comes to draw 1-1 with Roma, to crush 5-1 to Empoli, to equal 0-0 with Chievo, to beat 4-0 to Frosinone and to overcome 1-0 to SPAL. If we analyze these duels, we can affirm that the team is capable of the best and the worst at home, as it can beat an opponent and then overcome another by the minimum.
Bologna:
The team does not get well to this duel after losing 0-2 against Lazio at home and stay with 13 points in the general table. At the moment it continues in the zone of direct descent, arriving to register several parties without being able to win (2 draws and 3 defeats in its last 5 presentations). He has scored 13 goals and has yielded 26 on his fence, proving to be an unreliable on offense and extremely irregular in defense. His goal in this duel is not to receive an early goal to see if he can hold and steal some point on the end.
As a visitor, Bologna has registered negative scores, costing him to be regular and reliable in this condition (4 equalities and 5 falls). He has converted 6 goals and has received 15 in his goal, proving to have problems to reach the goal and to score. It comes to draw 2-2 with Sassuolo, to equal 2-2 with Chievo, to fall 4-1 with Sampdoria, to lose 2-1 with Empoli and to draw 0-0 against Parma. Apparently, the team has problems to defend away from home, demonstrating it by giving 2 goals at least in 4 of its last 5 starts. He could only improve this aspect in his presentation to Parma, by keeping his fence unbeaten.
In the last 6 years, Napoli and Bologna have met 5 times at the San Paolo stadium. These were the results of those matches: Victoria 1-2 of Bologna in December 2012 for the Italian Cup, triumph 3-0 of Napoli in August 2013, victory 6-0 in April 2016, triumph 3-1 of Napoli in September 2016 and victory 3-1 of Napoli in January 2018. Apparently, the Neapolitan painting has a great paternity over its rival, and it is feasible for this pattern to be extended once again in this opportunity.
