VS
Napoli vs Bologna combines a clear long-term Napoli advantage with Bologna’s ability to disrupt the expected script. Napoli’s 7–1 win at the Dall’Ara in 2017 remains the most spectacular example, but Bologna answered with a 2–0 away victory in 2024 before Napoli restored the margin at home with a 3–0 result. That contrast makes every new meeting a test of hierarchy and resistance.

Stats for this game
Matchup Napoli VS Bologna
Napoli’s historical ceiling
The broader balance gives Napoli the stronger footing, and the 7–1 win at Bologna in February 2017 shows the height of that advantage. Marek Hamšík and Dries Mertens each scored three times, with Lorenzo Insigne adding another goal as Napoli turned an explosive opening into a runaway result. Such a scoreline can make the fixture look one-sided, but it is best understood as a reminder of Napoli’s capacity to seize control rather than a complete description of the pairing.
Bologna’s answer
Bologna supplied a sharper counterpoint in May 2024 by winning 2–0 at Napoli through goals from Dan Ndoye and Jhon Lucumí. Napoli responded at home in August with a 3–0 victory, when Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giovanni Simeone scored. The swing between those results gives the matchup useful tension beneath Napoli’s historical edge. Future meetings will keep asking whether Bologna can preserve its resistance long enough to challenge the hierarchy, or whether Napoli’s higher ceiling will again decide the contest.
