Napoli vs Bologna 11 May 2026 Prediction
The final match of Serie A Matchday 36 features two teams that won three domestic trophies between them last year. However, neither side can be fully satisfied with the 2025/26 season.
Bologna have missed out on European qualification this time and have long been settled near the bottom of the top 10. A trip to Campania does not look promising either, as they have lost four of their last five away meetings with Napoli.
Napoli Are Keeping More Clean Sheets
Napoli could have challenged Inter for the Scudetto this season. The squad quality in southern Italy is not inferior to the Nerazzurri, and Antonio Conte’s managerial level is not in doubt. However, the number of injuries Napoli dealt with throughout the season prevented them from fully entering the title race and was also the main reason for their Champions League disappointment.
Still, Napoli are finishing this Serie A campaign with confidence. It is unlikely that the Azzurri will drop out of the top four, and even a 0-0 draw away to Como strengthened their position. Their defensive improvement deserves attention, as Napoli have conceded only three goals across their last six matches.
Bologna Have Stopped Scoring
Last year was a successful one for Bologna, but mainly because of their Coppa Italia win. In the league, the Rossoblu have not been able to climb above mid-table under Vincenzo Italiano. Their spring form has been better than their winter stretch, but physical fatigue is becoming a bigger issue. No Italian team has played more matches than Bologna this season, with 53.
Italiano has experimented with formations and different player combinations, even giving regular minutes to loanee Simon Zoma, whom the club clearly does not plan to buy from Fiorentina. However, Bologna’s attacking play has recently declined completely, with no goals in their last four official matches.
Key Things to Know
- Napoli have won five of their eight home matches against top-10 opponents.
- Antonio Conte’s teams have beaten Bologna in eight of the last 11 meetings.
- Bologna have failed to score in the first half in each of their last four matches against Napoli.

Napoli vs Bologna Prediction: Napoli -1.5 at 2.44
Main Pick: Bologna’s Europa League disappointment has clearly affected the team’s motivation, and the Rossoblu have looked flat in recent Serie A matches. They have taken only one point from their last three league games. It is difficult to expect a major improvement in Naples.
Napoli have not yet secured their Champions League place, but they have an excellent chance to do so in this round. Conte’s team have been strong at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, failing to win only twice in their last eight home league matches. The pick is Napoli -1.5 at 2.44.
Total Pick: At home, Napoli usually play from a position of control, which helps their scoring output. Fewer than three goals have been scored in only two of Napoli’s last seven home Serie A matches. Over has also landed in three of Bologna’s last four official away matches. The recommended play is over 2.5 goals at 1.94.
Correct Score Pick: This time, the goals are likely to come mostly from the more motivated Napoli side. Bologna have failed to score in four straight matches across all competitions. For the correct score market, the pick is 3-0 to Napoli at 10.50.
