Big clubs don't have to meet strong opponents in this match day except Napoli will face with Bologna. Bologna is no longer a strong version like past season after losing some important people from coach to players. They are weaker in human resource quality but they will be able to challenge Napoli that seems to be in trouble and might face with a crisis in this season.

I agree with most of your choices that big clubs will win and have three points but I beg on differ with Napoli vs Bologna match. Napoli will not have three points from Bologna but it would be too much for Bologna to beat Napoli too.

Still it will not be easy for Bologna to win at Napoli headquarters, what happened in the first match I think cannot be used as a reference because overall we have not been able to measure the true strength of the team and it will not be seen in the first few matches of the season, precisely when the team gets bad results they will try to bounce back in the next match so I think the Napoli vs Bologna match will be difficult for both.

At the beginning of the Serie A season it is quite difficult to predict as happened in the first week when several top teams that were favored were unable to win the match, so I think it is better to avoid big bets on favorite teams at the beginning of the Serie A season.

Honestly I doubt Napoli even though they will play as hosts, I know Napoli just suffered a defeat in the first match but facing Bologna is a challenge for Napoli and Conte to get full results in the match later, to ensure that Conte is able to bring significant changes to Napoli last season.

Bologna performed well last season and even above Napoli I am worried that Napoli will have difficulty facing Bologna who are in good condition this season, even though they were held to a draw by Udinese but Bologna avoided defeat in their first match, Napoli still have many obstacles in several lines and Conte seems to have not found the right tactics for Napoli, it will certainly take a long time to explore the right scheme to bring Napoli on the right track.
