Serie A Standing BEFORE the game
Bologna, 11th position with 12 points and a negative goal difference of -4
Napoli, 2nd position with 25 points and a positive goal difference of +16
Mission accomplished, Napoli win the Serie A Week 10 game against Bologna on Thursday 28 October 2021 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy. Napoli join AC Milan at the top of the table with 28 points. Napoli take the 1st position having a better goal difference with +19 compared to Milan with +14. This victory sees Napoli winning all five matches played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, conceding just one goal. In the last challenge, the one played at Roma, the first draw in the league came for the Neapolitans, who are still unbeaten.
✅ Napoli have won 8 of their last 11 Serie A matches against Bologna (1D, 2L), but only 2 of these successes have come in the 5 most recent. Napoli have scored in each of their last 16 Serie A matches against Bologna: only once have they recorded a longer series of consecutive scoring matches against a single opponent, 18 against Como, between 1950 and 1987. Napoli have won six of their last seven home games in the league against Bologna, the only exception in the set being a 2-1 comeback defeat in December 2019, in which Andreas Skov Olsen and then Nicola Sansone scored. Napoli remained unbeaten in 15 Serie A home games for the first time since February 2019 (series in which they reached 18): in the partial they obtained 12 wins (already more than in all of 2020, in which they stopped at 11) and three draws. Bologna have drawn four of their last six Serie A games (2P), as many times as they have in the previous 20 away games in the competition.
Napoli opening the score in the 18th minute. It is Fabián Ruiz to defeat Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski with a left footed shot to the top left corner. The assist is by Eljif Elmas.
