The penultimate round of Napoli's league tour takes place in Bologna. Will Luciano Spalletti's side be able to pick up another win? It should be noted that the Neapolitans had won their previous five games against the local side.

The Red and Blue seemed already playing out the championship, but they sent Cremonese to Serie B in the previous fixture, beating them 5:1 on the ground. By the end of the first half, Bologna led 3:0 after goals from Arnautovic, Ferguson, and Posh, with Sansone and Orsolini scoring in the second half. Bologna has now extended their unbeaten streak to three games in a row, and in their last 11 encounters, they have lost just twice - both away to Empoli and Verona.
Napoli
The Neapolitans are celebrating their fourth league title. In their first three games as champions, they have beaten Fiorentina (1:0) and Inter (3:1) on home soil and also lost on the road to Monza (0:2). In essence, Napoli has only two tasks left for the rest of the championship - to secure the top scorer title for Victor Osimena, who so far has 23 goals and a three-goal handicap from nearest pursuer Lautaro Martinez. The Georgian player currently has ten assists, two more than a whole group of players, including his team-mate Piotr Zieliński.

Expert Betting Tips
Bologna is one of the low-scoring teams in this league regarding home games. Only 5 of the 18 meetings at the Renato Dal'Ara have been successful. The meeting with Napoli is also unlikely to be a goal-scoring affair. The Red and Blue have scored five goals against Cremonese, but they have not scored more than one goal in six games in a row so far. The Neapolitans will probably not be in the starting line-up, and, as in the recent match against Monza, they will also be doubtful to put on an attacking display. We'll take a low-scoring streak and expect Bologna to pick up some points. Thiago Motta's team is almost unbeaten in regulation time and can certainly stop a season-long champion at home.
