Match description
Napoli are the favorites, particularly at home: the hosts average 1.76 goals scored and only 0.88 goals conceded at their stadium, with a 71% home win rate. Offensively Napoli generate 1.61 xG per home match versus Bologna’s 1.21 xG on the road and record more shots on target (5.18 vs 3.76), which translates into a higher volume of clear scoring opportunities. In the last 5 matches Napoli have scored 6 and conceded 3, averaging 1.6 points per game, while Bologna have only 2 scored and 8 conceded with 0.8 points per game in that period. Defensive metrics also favor Napoli: the hosts have 35% clean sheets at home and an average xG against of 1.13, whereas Bologna have 24% clean sheets away and xG against of 1.30. Considering the superiority in chance creation, the better recent five-match record and the league positions (Napoli 2nd, Bologna 10th), I tip a Napoli victory.
