Napoli take on Bologna in Serie A on Sunday.

Bologna vs Napoli Prediction and Betting Tips | May 28, 2023

Having blitzed the Serie A title race, Napoli return to action on Sunday (May 28) when they take on Bologna at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

The Rossoblu are in a heated mid-table battle and will look to finish in the top half of the standings for the first time since 2019. Bologna returned to winning ways in style, steamrolling Cremonese 5-1 at the Stadio Giovanni Zini last Saturday.

Before that, Thiago Motta’s side were on a six-game winless streak, a run that blew their dreams of a place in Europe. The goal for Bologna will now be to finish in the top half, as they're tenth in the points table, level on 50 points with Fiorentina and Torino, with two games left.

Like the hosts, Napoli found their feet last weekend, as they picked up an impressive 3-1 win over newly crowned Coppa Italia champions Inter Milan. That followed a surprise 2-0 defeat to Monza on May 14, which snapped their six-game unbeaten run.

Given the manner in which they have stormed to the Serie A title, Napoli can start looking towards next season as they aim for long-term domestic dominance.

Bologna vs Napoli Prediction

While victory will do Bologna’s quest for a top-half finish a world of good, they face a formidable Napoli side, who have been tough to crack even on the road. Given the gulf in class and quality between the two sides, Luciano Spalletti’s men should pick up a routine win.
