SSC Napoli - Bologna

Napoli enter this weekend looking to arrest a concerning slide in form that has seen them suffer consecutive defeats across all competitions. The hosts are eager to find their rhythm on matchday 4 of the Serie A season as they welcome Bologna to the Diego Armando Maradona on 13 September 2026. The expected XI, featuring David Neres and Rasmus Hoejlund in attack, faces the pressure of reversing a trend that included a narrow loss to Inter and a difficult Champions League night against Arsenal.

Bologna arrive with their own points to prove after a challenging start to the campaign. Their most recent outing resulted in a 2-2 draw against Sassuolo, a result that followed back-to-back league defeats. History between these two sides remains competitive, highlighted by a thrilling 3-2 victory for Bologna here back on 11 May 2026. With Lukasz Skorupski expected to anchor the visiting defense, Bologna will aim to exploit the current uncertainty in the Napoli ranks.
