✅ Stats before the game. In the last nine matches of Napoli at home against Bologna in Serie A there have been seven wins from Campania and only two from Emilia – the draw did not occur from 1-1 on 16 January 2012 (Acquafresca and then Cavani scored on a penalty). Only Milan (64) have collected more points than Napoli (63) since the beginning of 2022 in Serie A: the Campania region boasts the best attack in this calendar year with 61 goals scored (average of 2.18 per match). In the last 13 Serie A matches, Napoli have collected 11 wins and two draws, scoring 35 goals: considering this set, the blue team is the best team in the league both for points won (35 out of 39) and goals scored. It was since 2015/16 (six points in that case) that Bologna had not collected so few points (seven currently) in the first nine games of a Serie A championship and since 2013/14 that they had not won only in one of the first nine. Thiago Motta remained undefeated in both games as a manager at Napoli in Serie A: a 0-0 draw with Genoa in November 2019 and a 1-0 win with Spezia in December 2021 – notably two of his only four clean sheets. obtained away at the helm of top league teams, they arrived against the Azzurri.
