SSC Napoli shift their focus toward securing second place in Serie A when they host an out-of-form Bologna FC 1909 side at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Napoli’s title defence officially ended last weekend after Inter Milan wrapped up the Scudetto, but Antonio Conte’s side still have plenty to play for. The Partenopei remain one of the strongest home teams in Serie A and have lost just once across their last 28 league matches at home.

Conte’s men also arrive with momentum after another strong domestic campaign that included success in the Supercoppa Italiana. Napoli’s consistency at home and their ability to grind out narrow victories continue to make them difficult opponents.

Bologna, meanwhile, are struggling badly at the worst possible moment of the season. Vincenzo Italiano’s side have failed to score in four consecutive competitive matches and now risk missing out on European football altogether.

Although Bologna possess a strong away record overall, back-to-back defeats on the road and their current attacking struggles suggest this could be another difficult evening against elite opposition.
