Napoli vs Bologna Predictions, Picks & Odds – 13/09/2026
Napoli vs Bologna Preview
Napoli's start to the 2026-27 Serie A campaign has been underwhelming. Sitting 11th after two matchdays with just three points, Antonio Conte's side will be desperate to find consistency at the Maradona. A frustrating 2-1 home defeat to Como last time out exposed defensive vulnerabilities that need urgent fixing. The Partenopei have won only once in their last five outings across all competitions, a run that hardly inspires confidence.
Bologna arrive in Naples in even worse shape. Vincenzo Italiano's men are pointless after two rounds, suffering consecutive 1-0 losses that leave them among seven Serie A sides yet to register on the board. Their position in 15th reflects a deeply troubled opening to the season. There is, however, a glimmer of encouragement: Bologna claimed a memorable 3-2 victory over Napoli in their final meeting last term, proof they can compete at this venue.
Napoli's home advantage at the Maradona is a factor, but their recent form tells a complicated story. Two losses and a draw in their last five outings have left them sitting 11th, a far cry from where the Partenopei expect to be. That shock 2-1 defeat to Como on Matchday 2 exposed defensive vulnerabilities that Bologna could look to exploit.
Bologna, however, arrive in Naples with zero points from two matches, both ending in 1-0 defeats. Their attacking output has been dire, and confidence is low. Napoli hold a dominant head-to-head record with 20 wins across 37 meetings, though Bologna did claim a 3-2 victory in their last Serie A encounter back in May 2026.
The double chance on Napoli, covered by the home price at 1.83, offers the safest route here. Given both sides' poor recent form, under 2.5 goals at N/A also looks appealing considering Bologna have scored zero goals in two league outings. A low-scoring Napoli win or stalemate fits the profile of this fixture perfectly.
