BOG VS NAP Dream11 prediction Football Fantasy: Bologna vs Napoli will face off in Serie A 2023 on the 24th of September on Sunday. The fixture is hosted at Renato Dall’Ara Stadium at 09:30 PM.
Bologna aims to secure consecutive Serie A home wins, a feat they haven’t achieved since November 2022. After an initial defeat to AC Milan, they’ve been unbeaten, including a draw with Juventus and a win over Cagliari. Napoli, the reigning champions, started with victories but has recently struggled.

Most recently, they played out a goalless draw against Hellas Verona on September 18, 2023. Despite the draw, Bologna dominated the game and missed out on securing a win.
Team News : Bologna will continue to miss the services of Adama Soumaoro, who is not expected to return to action until early 2024 at the earliest.
