Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Thursday’s football game between Napoli and Bologna will bring down the curtain on day 10 of the new Serie A campaign. The Neapolitans dropped two points in a goalless draw with Roma, but they remained in top position in the standings. Luciano Spalletti’s men aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Spalletti, who will watch the game from the stands, can’t count on injured trio Malcuit, Manolas, and Ounas.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, head into the match with a severely-weakened squad as both Soumaoro and Soriano were sent off in a 4-2 loss to Milan. Since all Kingsley, Bonifazi, and Viola remain in the recovery room, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the league leaders.
