Serie A
Last season, these teams met twice, with Napoli winning their home game 3:0, while the match at Stadio Renato Dall'Arain Bologna ended as a 1:1 draw. Looking further back, in the past ten h2h games, Bologna won just once, while Napoli secured six victories.
Regarding the number of goals, five out of the last ten h2h games ended with more than three goals. However, most of the games recently ended with fewer than three goals, as we saw them going under the mentioned line in three out of the four games. Additionally, both teams scored just once in the last four matches.
Bologna team overview
After a magnificent season in 2023/24 when they finished fifth and secured the Champions League, Bologna had another good result last year. This time, not in the Serie A as they finished ninth, but in the Cup, where they secured the title and acquired the Europa League that way. This year, the Red and Blues had a pretty slow start but consolidated and are currently on a nine-game unbeaten run. Their results in the EL haven't been great as they won five points in four rounds, but are still in a position to secure the next phase of the competition. Meanwhile, they are doing well in Serie A, where they are in 5th place with 18 points from ten rounds - four points away from the first-placed Napoli.
According to Italian media reports, Remo Freuler suffered an injury in the previous Serie A game and will most likely be sidelined for a long time due to a broken collarbone.

Napoli team overview
Napoli won their fourth Scudetto last year, their second in the previous three years. However, unlike the last time they won the title, there weren't problems between the coach and the board, and Antonio Conte continued where they left off last year. After 11 rounds in the Serie A, they are at the top with 22 points. Still, their performances in the Champions League could have been much better, considering they are in 23rd place with four points in four rounds.
Three important players who missed the previous games should remain sidelined - Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Alex Meret. Meanwhile, Leonardo Spinazzola and Billy Gilmour, who missed the last game, are listed as questionable.

Prediction
Both teams have been impressive defensively in recent matches. Bologna allowed only one goal in the last three games, while Napoli kept a clean sheet in the past three games. More impressively for our bet, Napoli's goal difference in the last three games vs Eintracht Frankfurt, Como, and Lecce is 1:0 (combined)!
Additionally, Bologna have been awesome at home defensively, allowing just one goal in four Serie A games, and are by far the best team in that department.
Three out of the last four h2h games ended with fewer than three goals. Considering both teams' fantastic defense, h2h trend, and all the above, an under 2.5 goals seems like the best option for this Serie A tie.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Bologna allowed one goal in four Serie A home games
- We saw only one goal in the last three of Napoli's games
- Three out of the previous four h2h games ended with fewer than three goals
