Napoli will look to end a run of three consecutive defeats when they host Bologna in the fourth round of the Italian Serie A on 13 September 2026.
The sides meet with both clubs struggling near the bottom of the table. Napoli are 12th with three points from their opening three matches, having recorded one win and two defeats. Bologna sit 16th on one point, following one draw and two losses.
Napoli’s recent results have put them under pressure. They were beaten 2-1 by Como before suffering a 3-2 defeat by Inter Milan, despite taking a 2-0 lead during the match. Their difficult run continued in midweek when they lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal in the Champions League.
That result against Arsenal means the “Azzurri” have now lost three matches in a row. Their latest league defeat also extended a worrying sequence after a promising start to the campaign.
Bologna have also endured a poor spell. After back-to-back 1-0 defeats against Lazio and Atalanta, they drew 2-2 with Sassuolo. The result brought them their first point of the season, but they have still lost four of their past five matches in all competitions.
Napoli are considered the favourites for the meeting despite their recent run of losses. Bologna’s form has been even less convincing, with four defeats in their last five games across all competitions.
The most recent meeting between the teams ended in a 3-2 victory for Bologna. However, the prediction for this fixture is that Napoli will claim the points, with the hosts backed to overcome their opponents and secure a much-needed win.
