Bologna vs Napoli Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2024-25

Bologna look unstoppable at the moment. 

Bologna are looking like a real deal in recent matches. They are now set to face Napoli in round 31 of Serie A action, looking to maintain their unbeaten streak. 

Bologna are impressing everyone with their performance in recent matches, winning six consecutive matches in a row. They are very much favourites to secure their place in the Coppa Italia final after securing a convincing 3-0 win over Empoli in the 1st leg. Their form in the league has also seen them climb to fourth in the table as they look to finish in the top four this season. 

Napoli, on the other hand, secured a huge win in the last match against AC Milan to keep their title dream alive. Antonio Conte’s side are currently three points shy of table-toppers Inter Milan. They have blown the title race alive after securing just two wins in their last eight matches, drawing another five and losing once, to lose their commanding position at the top of the table.
