The Azzurri have not achieved a single success in their last four home Serie A games (3 draws and 1 defeat) and have not fared worse in the competition since the period between October 2019 and January 2020, when they reached six. The Neapolitans have conceded goals in 14 consecutive games in Serie A (last clean sheet in the 0-0 draw against Lazio on January 28th); only once did the Neapolitans fare worse in the competition, between August 1997 and January 1998, when they reached 17 games in a row with at least one goal conceded. Napoli is the team that has gained the most points from a disadvantaged situation in this Serie A, followed by Cagliari (17) and Bologna (16); in the last Serie A season the rossoblù reached 20, while the Neapolitans haven’t done better since 2017/18 (28). The rossoblù have won four of their last six Serie A away games (2 draws), as many away successes as in the previous 19 (9 draws and 6 defeats). From February onwards the Bolognese have kept eight clean sheets and in the top five European leagues only Arsenal have done better in the period (nine), with Turin and Real Madrid also doing eight.
Precedents and prediction
—
From the 2013/14 season onwards, Napoli have won eight out of nine home matches against Bologna in Serie A (1 defeat), scoring 28 goals; in the period the Neapolitans achieved more home successes only against Sampdoria (9/10) and Udinese (10/11), finding more goals only against Lazio (31) and Udinese (34). Bologna is the team against which Napoli has scored the most goals in Serie A (194) and could become the fourth to suffer 50 defeats by the Azzurri, after Turin (51), Fiorentina (52) and Lazio (54). After the 0-0 draw in the first leg, the two teams could draw the two Serie A matches of the season for the first time since 1979/80, when the first of the two matches ended 0-0 and the second 1-1. Recommended outcomes: 1X+Under 2.5 (draw or victory for the Azzurri with a maximum of 2 total goals in the match), quoted at 2.30; the exact result 1-1on the board at 6.50.
