Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Bologna
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Udinese, Napoli will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Serie A when they face Bologna on Matchday 36. The Neapolitans failed to win the previous four league matches and, as a result, their participation in Conference League remains in danger. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen, who scored the opener against the Zebrette, while the likes of Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, Giacomo Raspadori, Pierluigi Gollini, and Piotr Zielinski remain in the recovery room.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, are on the right track to book their spot in the Champions League. Bologna aim to stay in top four, but seeing that they should be happy with one point from the match, we are going to bet on draw. The good news for the visitors is that defender Sam Beukema is back from suspension, while both Lewis Ferguson and Adama Soumaoro remain in the recovery room.
