Napoli, Recent FormNapoli manager Francesco Calzona will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Udinese. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Udinese's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Calzona will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games overall.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Goalscorer Victor Osimhen will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Napoli.
Bologna, Recent FormBologna manager Thiago Motta will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Torino. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 5 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
They have taken just a small number of points from their past 6 matches, and while they have only let in 2 goals, it has been their unpredictable form in front of goal that has been their issue, with 7 goals netted in those 6 matches. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games overall.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 7 games in a row.
Joshua Zirkzee is the man of the moment at Bologna right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
The I Rossoblù defence has struggled at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 16 visits. We have seen plenty of goals from I Partenopei when they play at home against Bologna. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 9 goals, which is an average of 3 goals per game.
Playing at home, Napoli have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Bologna in the league.
Napoli manager Francesco Calzona has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Pierluigi Gollini (Shoulder), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Muscle), Giacomo Raspadori (Ankle) and Piotr Zieliński (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Lewis Ferguson (Cruciate ligament) 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.
