Bologna vs Napoli
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Both Teams to Score | |
19/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning With both sides brimming with attacking talent and European ambitions, expect an engaging contest. Bologna’s form at home and Napoli’s desperation to stay in the title race suggest both teams will push forward. Lukaku and Orsolini’s current scoring runs offer additional confidence in this BTTS selection landing. | |
Key Stats:
- Bologna have found the net in their last six Serie A home games.
- Lukaku has scored in every league appearance against Bologna since 2020.
- Both sides rank among Serie A’s top three for lowest shots conceded per match.
Rationale
Bologna are in the midst of a purple patch, stringing together six consecutive victories across all competitions and placing themselves firmly in the mix for a top-four Serie A finish. Under Vincenzo Italiano, the Rossoblu have not only tightened up defensively but have also found rhythm in attack, spearheaded by Riccardo Orsolini, who recently matched his best-ever league goal tally. They were dominant against Empoli in the Coppa Italia semi-final, and morale is soaring around Stadio Dall’Ara.
However, Napoli come into this one with plenty of firepower themselves. With Romelu Lukaku chasing the Capocannoniere, the Belgian frontman has scored five times in five appearances against Bologna and shows no sign of slowing down after hitting 400 career goals. Matteo Politano’s creativity and a refreshed midfield, likely to include Scott McTominay, provide plenty of attacking avenues for the visitors.
Bologna’s solid form, mixed with Napoli’s need for points and attacking strength, points to goals at both ends.
