Prediction: 1-0
Bologna
After suffering a 3-0 loss to Verona, Napoli will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Bologna in their first home game of the season. The Neapolitans experienced all sorts of problems at the back against the Mastini and, as a result, new boss Antonio Conte is expected to shuffle his pack. Victor Osimhen is no longer part of the team, with Giovanni Simeone likely to lead the line for the hosts.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Udinese in their Serie A opener. Bologna, though, have lost several first-team regulars in the summer transfer window, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Antonio Conte’s troops. To make things even worse for the away team, all Emil Holm, Jhon Lucumi, Kacper Urbanski, Oussama El Azzouzi, and Lewis Ferguson miss out with injuries.
