Bologna take on the visitors Napoli in the round 31 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, April 7th at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (Bologna).
Bologna were part of the group of surprise packages that delighted fans in last season’s Serie A campaign. Many expected them to fade, especially after losing head coach Thiago Motta and key players like Calafiori and Zirkzee over the summer. Yet while their Champions League campaign never really got off the ground, Vincenzo Italiano has found a way to build consistency in domestic competitions. This week, they essentially sealed their place in the Coppa Italia final with a 3-0 win over Empoli in the first leg of the semi-final. More importantly, a run of five straight league victories in March — capped off by a 1-0 win over Venezia — lifted them into fourth place in Serie A. Their defence has been particularly solid, keeping four clean sheets in that winning streak.

Napoli risk squandering their recent success if they don’t wake up this spring. The Partenopei thrilled their supporters with a historic and dominant Scudetto win, their first since the Maradona era, only to drop all the way to 10th the following season. Under Antonio Conte, there were hopes of bouncing back to the top, but their 2025 form has fallen well short of expectations — not helped by the departure of Kvaratskhelia. February brought a string of draws, breaking a prior winning run, and they even lost earlier to newly promoted Como. Still, they managed to end March on a high note, scoring twice in the first 20 minutes to beat Milan at home. That victory snapped a four-match winless run and could signal a late-season resurgence.
Bologna managed to avoid defeat against the southern giants in three straight encounters. However, Napoli thrashed them 3-0 in their most recent meeting back in August under Conte. A tight battle is expected here, with a slight edge given to Conte’s side. But the hosts are in excellent form, so we’re backing Bologna to win with a “draw no bet” (DNB) option.
Prediction for the match: Bologna to win with 0.0 handicap.
