Prediction and odds analysis for Bologna vs Napoli at 21:00 on November 9, Round 11 of Serie A

The strength of the Renato Dall’Ara team lies in their ability to control the tempo and circulate the ball from midfield, but facing an experienced squad like Napoli, they must be extremely precise in the attacking third.

Despite personnel changes and injuries, Napoli have maintained a dependable performance level. Under coach Antonio Conte, their attack is less explosive but their defensive structure is tighter, especially against disciplined opponents.

Anguissa has become a crucial link, controlling midfield play, while McTominay adds physicality in duels. Napoli’s offense depends heavily on Politano’s mobility and Hojlund’s pressing ability.

However, the absence of key players such as Lukaku, De Bruyne, and Spinazzola might make it difficult for Napoli to create breakthroughs. This match requires patience from Napoli, minimizing mistakes and waiting for the opponent to relax before delivering a decisive strike.
