Last 5 Bologna Matches Results and Stats

Offensively, Bologna average 0.7 goals per game, with both of their goals coming at home. Away from home, they have yet to score and have conceded once in their single away outing.

Historical Statistical Verdict

Historically, the Napoli vs Bologna stats point to a finely balanced head-to-head: 2 wins each and 1 draw from the last five competitive meetings, with Napoli holding a narrow 8-6 edge in total goals. Napoli have been strong at home in this matchup overall, winning two of three in Naples, but Bologna’s 3-2 victory at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on 11 May 2026 shows they are capable of causing problems on this ground.

Current league form slightly favours Napoli, who have at least found the net regularly and sit higher in the Serie A standings, while Bologna’s attack has struggled to ignite and they remain winless. Taken together, the historical record, venue split and early-season trends suggest Napoli carry a marginal statistical edge, but Bologna’s recent success both home and away in this fixture ensures the contest remains open and tactically intriguing.
