Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Vincenzo Italiano and Antonio Conte to batten down the hatches here, but we certainly don't expect to see a deluge of goals as Bologna and Napoli go head-to-head. The stats belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.53 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we're recommending.

Goal Statistics

Bologna's defensive record is to be admired, Vincenzo Italiano's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Serie A outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Napoli makes sense in this context.
