One of the matches of the 31st round of the Italian championship will be played on Monday at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium, where the local Bologna will host Napoli. I suggest betting on goals in this encounter with a good coefficient.
Match preview
On the last matchday, Vincenzo Italiano's team once again proved their seriousness by narrowly defeating Venezia away — 1-0. This victory was Bologna's fifth consecutive win in Serie A, and the Griffons' defense kept a clean sheet for the second match in a row. Currently, the team confidently holds the Champions League zone, occupying the fourth position with 56 points.
Italiano's side's home form commands respect: at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium, the team has scored 29 times — the third-best in the league after Inter (34) and Roma (31). Moreover, Bologna has secured a series of six consecutive victories at their home ground, showcasing class in every round and reminding that dreams of the top-4 are not a fantasy, but an ambitious yet real plan.
In the last round, Antonio Conte's wards delivered an excellent match, defeating Milan at home with a score of 2-1. This victory was only the second for Napoli in the last eight Serie A rounds — during this span, the team shared points five times and stumbled once. Meanwhile, the defense continues to falter: in nine of the last ten matches, the Neapolitans conceded at least one goal.
Nevertheless, in overall defense statistics, Conte's team remains the best in the championship, having conceded only 24 goals. Currently, Napoli confidently holds the second position, trailing the leading Inter by four points, with a game in hand. On the road, the team looks extremely convincing: in 13 of the last 14 away Serie A matches, the Neapolitans have been unbeaten, securing eight wins and five draws.
