Stefan Posch can possibly return as well since he is now available after returning from a hamstring injury.

Napoli Team News

Napoli manager Antonio Conte has done well to bring Napoli very close to winning the Serie A title. However a major concern for them is their form in away games in which Napoli has won only 51 percent of these matches this season.

Key Players To Watch Out In Bologna vs Napoli

Riccardo Orsolini (Bologna)

The 28 year old winger is perhaps the most lethal striker for Bologna this season. Riccardo Orsolini has scored 11 goals and has four assists to his name in 22 league appearances. Moreover he is currently in great form for Bologna having scored four goals in his last five league games.

Romelu Lukaku (Napoli)

Romelu Lukaku has spent the majority of his career at the best clubs in the top five leagues such as Inter Milan, Manchester United, Chelsea, AS Roma, Everton and now Napoli. Although Lukaku has not lived upto his full potential and has been inconsistent at times, this is not the case for his first season at Napoli. Romelu Lukaku has scored 11 games and has nine assists to his name in 28 Serie A appearances.

Bologna vs Napoli Prediction

Although Bologna are in commendable form in their last five league games being unbeaten, they will still find it tough to beat Napoli. Napoli themselves are coming off from an impressive win against AC Milan last weekend. The home side advantage and current form tip the odds a bit in favour of Bologna instead of Napoli. Bologna are likely to win against Napoli but will definitely not be able to do it so easily.

Predicted Score: Bologna 2-1 Napoli
