Bologna: form and statistics

Bologna played their previous match on Thursday. At home, Vincenzo Italiano’s team hosted one of the biggest surprises of the current European campaign, Norwegian side Brann. The game was decided by a red card — Bologna was reduced to ten men in the middle of the first half when Charalampos Lykogiannis received a straight red. As a result, the Rossoblù struggled to impose themselves offensively, and the match ended 0–0. After four Europa League rounds, Bologna sit 24th with five points.

In Serie A, Bologna’s last league match saw them visit Parma and comfortably confirm their favorite status. The Rossoblu conceded in the first minute but went on to score three unanswered goals for a 3–1 victory. Miranda and Castro, who scored twice, were on the scoresheet. After ten rounds, Bologna have risen to fifth place in the Serie A table, just three points shy of the Champions League spots. Over ten matches, Bologna have conceded only eight goals — the fifth-best defensive record in the league.

Napoli: form and statistics

Napoli defeated Inter 3–1 at home but lost Kevin De Bruyne to injury in that match. Without the Belgian, Antonio Conte’s team has struggled offensively. During the week, Napoli failed to beat Eintracht Frankfurt at home in the Champions League, drawing 0–0. After four group-stage matches, the Neapolitans have four points and sit 24th overall.

In their last Serie A match, Napoli also drew 0–0 at home against Como. Prior to that, they won 1–0 away at Lecce, meaning Conte’s side has scored just one goal in three games without De Bruyne. Despite this, Napoli remain top of the Serie A table, ahead of Inter, Milan, and Roma by one point before matchday 11. Like Bologna, Napoli have conceded only eight goals since the start of the season.

Bologna vs Napoli: head to head statistics

In the previous ten head-to-head meetings, Napoli won six times, Bologna once, and three matches ended in a draw. Overall, the teams have faced each other 152 times: Napoli have 61 wins, Bologna 48, and there have been 43 draws.

Bologna vs Napoli match prediction 9 November 2025

Napoli and Bologna have each conceded just eight goals in ten league rounds—less than one goal per game on average. At the same time, Napoli’s attack has recently struggled, and two of Bologna’s last three matches ended 0-0. Overall, we expect this to be the dullest game of the round. Few goals and limited dangerous moments are likely. Recent European matches do not inspire confidence in the over either, as both teams come into this fixture fatigued from challenging international schedules.
