Bologna, Recent FormBologna will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Hellas Verona last time out. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Hellas Verona who had 9 attempts and 1 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.
Lewis Ferguson will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Bologna.
Napoli, Recent FormNapoli manager Rudi Garcia will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Genoa. They achieved 66% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Genoa's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Victor Osimhen is the man of the moment right now and the toast of the fans, having notched up 6 goals in Napoli's last 6 league matches.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for I Partenopei in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Bologna in their last 20 meetings together. Playing at home, Bologna have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Napoli. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, Napoli know how to do it against I Rossoblù, having clocked up 13 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
In the league, Napoli has had a good run of results against Bologna, being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings.
Victor Osimhen has given Napoli's travelling fans plenty to shout about in their past visits to Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, having scored 3 goals in their last 3 meetings there.
With only Alexis Saelemaekers (Muscle) and Adama Soumaoro (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Thiago Motta will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Napoli manager Rudi Garcia ahead of this clash, with Pierluigi Gollini (Hand) missing out, which gives Garcia a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
