Serie A Standing BEFORE the game
Bologna, 4th position with 64 points and a positive goal difference of +22
Napoli, 8th position with 51 points and a positive goal difference of +9
Bologna are within the European zone and climbed to the 3rd position after winning the Serie A Week 36 game on Saturday 10 May 2024 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. Bologna with a prestigious victory beating Napoli, three points in three minutes. It is the eighth consecutive useful result for Bologna, who are ever closer to qualifying for the Champions League, which would be mathematical in the event that Roma were unable to beat Atalanta tomorrow evening. However, Napoli’s negative period continues, as they suffered their second defeat in the last four games and risk being overtaken in the standings by Fiorentina, a point behind but with two games less. It has now become a real countdown for Napoli fans to finally end this indefinable year and wake up from this nightmare.
The first goal came in the 9th minute, with Ndoye’s header following an assist from Odgaard deflected by Olivera, while the rossoblù doubled their lead in the 12th minute with another header, this time from Posch following a corner from Urbanski cleared by Calafiori. Napoli would have the opportunity to reopen the match in the 20th minute, but Ravaglia saved Politano’s penalty, awarded by Pairetto for a foul by Freuler on Osimhen. The Azzurri continue to push, coming close to a 1-2 draw with Anguissa, Olivera and Lobotka, while in the second half there were no opportunities on both sides. The two center forwards each have one, but Meret and Ravaglia are good at opposing Zirkzee and Osimhen respectively.
Back to it. No letting up, boys! 💪
