Historical Statistical Verdict

Overall, the historical numbers lean slightly towards Napoli, with 3 wins from 5 recent competitive meetings and a 8-6 aggregate goal advantage. At Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Napoli have taken 2 wins from 3 against Bologna in this period, though Bologna’s 3-2 away success on 11 May 2026 shows that the visitors are capable of upsetting the odds in Naples. The venue split indicates that Bologna are more comfortable at home, where they have one win and one draw against Napoli, while the Super Cup Final on neutral ground also went Napoli’s way.

Current league form suggests Napoli carry the greater attacking threat, averaging 1.7 goals per match this season compared to Bologna’s 0.7, but both sides have defensive issues, with Napoli conceding 1.7 per game and Bologna 1.3. Taken together, the head-to-head record, goal trends and early-season standings point to Napoli having a statistical edge, especially at home, while Bologna’s recent ability to win in Naples and their competitive results at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara ensure this fixture remains far from straightforward.
