Napoli vs Bologna prediction 11.05.2026 | Serie A

Napoli enter this match in relatively solid form, although their recent 0-0 draw away at Como effectively ended their title hopes. Prior to that result, the Partenopei had recorded important victories and remained unbeaten in five of their last six Serie A matches. 

In terms of availability, Napoli still have a few injury concerns. Alessandro Buongiorno and Juan Jesus remain doubts in defence, while Stanislav Lobotka has also struggled with fitness issues recently. Despite these absences, Antonio Conte still possesses enough depth to field a highly competitive lineup.

At home, Napoli have been particularly dominant, winning seven of their last nine league matches at the Maradona and keeping clean sheets in consecutive home fixtures.

Bologna arrive in Naples after a frustrating run of results that has officially ended their hopes of securing European qualification. Their most recent outing ended in a 0-0 draw against Cagliari, while they have won only two of their last six Serie A fixtures. Bologna’s poor recent form can largely be attributed to their poor attacking efficiency and lack of creativity in the final third, having failed to score in their last four fixtures across all competitions.

However, Bologna are dealing with several important injury concerns ahead of this difficult away trip. Nicolò Cambiaghi is ruled out for the remainder of the season, while Łukasz Skorupski, Joao Mario, and Nicolò Casale are also unavailable or major doubts. Thijs Dallinga remains questionable due to tendinitis.

Away form has also been inconsistent in recent weeks, particularly against stronger opposition. Bologna have struggled defensively at times and may find it difficult to contain Napoli’s movement and attacking intensity for the full 90 minutes.
