Bologna vs Napoli Prediction & Betting tips
Last matchday in the Italian Serie A. Some decisions have already been made, others will fall on the 38th matchday. This year’s champion has been with Juventus for several weeks. Also the first two relegated players were found with Frosinone Calcio and Chievo Verona. It is also exciting who, as the third, has to go into the series B and who will reach the international competitions. The best cards in the fight for the UEFA Champions League are Bergamo and Inter Milan. Behind it lies AC Milan. The Roma have only outsider chances and will probably compete in the Europa League. The last relegated will be found in the Fernduell between the Genoa CFC and the Empoli FC.
The two teams of our encounter have nothing to do with these arguments. Bologna has finally made the league by the point win on Monday evening. Napoli, meanwhile, has been a runner-up for quite some time and has qualified so naturally for the upcoming Champions League. Both teams have played very successfully in recent weeks, so for us in the game Bologna vs Naples the prognosis is obvious that both teams will score a goal. The kick-off at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara will take place on Saturday evening at 19:30. Will the two teams offer their supporters another football party at the end? All answers to this game can be found in our analysis.
Bologna:
Happy ending for Bologna! After a completely messed up first round, the northern Italians were able to celebrate on Monday night by a 3: 3 at Lazio Rome the relegation in Serie A. After that it had not looked after the end of the Hinserie. With just 13 points, they had to go on a relegation place, go into the winter break. Due to the threatening situation, the luckless Filippo “Pippo” Inzaghi was released from his duties as coach at the end of January. As a successor, the Croatian Sinisa Mihajlovic was presented, who was sent to the race with the goal of relegation. A good decision of those responsible, as it now turns out in retrospect. Under his direction, the Bologna FC became the seventh best second round team.
Currently, the Red-Blue are with a total balance of ten wins, eleven draws and sixteen defeats and a total score of 41 in the twelfth place in the table. The points win in Rome, the Bolognese now have four points ahead of the first relegation place and can go calmly into the last game.
With a threesome even the jump to tenth place is possible. Especially in the offensive, the new coach has turned on the right screws. After only 15 goals in the first round, after the winter break at least 30 successes could be cheered. The most successful scorer of the Northern Italians is Riccardo Orsolini, who scored his eighth goal on Monday in Rome. In the last seven games, the Red-Blue conceded only one defeat in the game in Milan. Especially in the home stadium Bologna has been a power in recent games. Six wins in a row could be celebrated here.
In these six games, the Bolognese scored 17 goals, almost three goals per duel. Certainly a difficult task awaits the vice-champion from southern Italy. Problems had the Rossoblu rather in the away games. Here the last four duels could not be won. In the Coppa Italia came for the Northern Italians in the second round out. Against the “old lady” Juve they lost 0: 2 goals. Due to a hamstring injury, Federico Mattiello coach Mihajlovic will probably not be available on Saturday.
Naples:
Even if the SSC has to end this season without a title, the Partenopei can be very satisfied with the performance in the championship. Behind Turin’s Ligaprimus they will finish the season as runners-up. The superiority of the “Old Lady” was too great for the Azzurri to seriously harm her. So Naples is after 37 matchdays with a record of 24 wins, seven draws and only six defeats eleven points behind the Italian champions Juventus Turin.
Even bigger, however, is the advantage over the following teams. Thus, the Blauen were able to distance themselves from the teams from Bergamo and Milan by 13 points and secure the runner-up prematurely. In the last home game of the season, they defeated Inter Milan on Sunday with 4-1 goals and celebrated so the fourth consecutive victory.
Can the series also exist in Bologna? The last appearances on opposing place were convincing. Here were the last three games all won. Over the entire season convinced the Partenopei both on the offensive and on the defensive. With 33 goals conceded only the champions Juve and Inter Milan fewer goals than the team of coach Carlo Ancelotti. With 72 goals scored only Bergamo celebrated a goal more often than the southern Italians. Pole Arkadiusz Milik came out on 17 goals, closely followed by Belgian driver Dries Mertens, who has already netted 15 times.
This Ancelotti can draw on the probably strongest strike duo of Serie A. The other competitions were not quite as successful for Napoli. In Coppa Italia, they lost in the quarter-finals at AC Milan with 0: 2 the short straw. In 2014, the cup was last brought to Naples. Also in the UEFA Europa League after the round of the last eight teams was over. Against the Gunners the Blues were defeated in both games without having scored their own goal. Absence will be on Sunday coach Ancelotti the two yellow-locked Kalidou Koulibaly and Allan.
