They average 0.7 goals scored per game and 1.3 conceded, underlining issues in chance creation and a defence that is being breached regularly. At home, Bologna have scored 2 and conceded 3 across two fixtures; away from home, they have lost their only match 1-0, failing to score.

Historical Statistical Verdict

Overall, the historical numbers tilt towards Napoli: they lead the head-to-head with 3 wins to Bologna’s 1, an 8-6 aggregate goal advantage, and a strong home record of 2 wins from 3 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. However, Bologna’s 3-2 away victory on 11 May 2026 shows they are capable of upsetting expectations in Naples, and their positive results at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (one win, one draw) reflect a competitive rivalry. Recent form in Serie A 2026 suggests Napoli carry the greater attacking threat, scoring at a significantly higher rate than Bologna, while both sides show defensive vulnerabilities. Taken together, the historical head-to-head trends and current-season stats suggest a match where Napoli have the statistical edge, but Bologna’s proven ability to trouble them means this fixture should not be treated as a formality.
