Match Napoli vs Bologna will probably be one of the most interesting matches to watch in this round. Both teams play very good from the start of the season and both are very motivated to keep in the winning rhythm.
Napoli continued good games from the last season and with several reinforcements in their squad, this season they look even more dangerous and determined to get to the place No1 by the end of the season. They are undefeated from the start of the season and after opening draw against Pescara, they continued with three consecutive victories including victory against Dynamo Kyiv in Champions League.
On the other side, Bologna were struggling last season however after very good summer and preparation period, they started this season winning in Copa Italia and opening Serie A match. Embarrassing 5-1 defeat in their second match against Torino is behind them and in their last match they won against Cagliari retrieving some of the lost self-confidence. When it comes to their mutual encounters, Napoli declassed Bologna in their second match last season with enormous 6-0. However in their first match Bologna were better team winning against Napoli with 3-2. In this match Napoli
enters as favorite, but they are far away from easy win. Bologna will dominate in air and will endanger Napoli’s goal after every break and free kick. Napoli on the other side will dominate in possession and in speed and will easily outrun opposition defenders and create scoring opportunities.
