Statistically Napoli is the favorite for this match and not Bologna. Starting off the season on the same level doesn’t mean they’ll have an advantage over them or be equal in experience when they play in this match. Napoli seems to be the favorite whether they did well in their first match or not, this is the second match of the league and each team will come more prepared for a win after they’ve both lost in their first matches. Bologna is a smaller team to Napoli when compared base on past experience and victories by each team. The match could turn out to be something else like unpredictable but Napoli has a better chance than the chance that Bologna has in this match.

If you look at the squads of both teams, it is clear that Napoli is far superior to Bologna. However, looking at Napoli's performance in their first match, I have a little doubt that Napoli can win the match against Bologna. Although it is true that Bologna also failed to win their first match. But at least Bologna didn't lose but only drew in the first match. So with this I can conclude a little that in terms of performance, Bologna seems to be superior to Napoli. The reason is that in their first match Napoli's performance was really bad. The reason is that Napoli suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat against a team like Verona. So with this fact, I am increasingly confident that Napoli will again have difficulty getting points in their second match against Bologna.

Maybe if Napoli played Osimhen in the match against Verona, maybe the result would be a little different. However, it turned out that Osimhen was not actually called up to the Napoli squad for that match. I think this will be a big problem for Napoli, because currently Napoli doesn't have a truly reliable front player. The reason is that Napoli also seems to have failed to recruit Lukaku, apart from that, Osimhen also seems very reluctant to play with Napoli. So with this, this season it looks like Napoli will have a blunt front line.

Apart from that, if you look at the rankings of Bologna and Napoli last season, it is very clear that Bologna is superior to Napoli. Because last season Napoli could only finish in 10th place, while Bologna managed to finish in 5th place in the final Serie A standings. So with this, it means that Bologna will definitely be better than Napoli. So I personally will just bet on Napoli in this match.
