Napoli (13-4-4) will look to keep its spot in the top three of the Serie A table when it visits Bologna (8-3-9) on Monday. Napoli is a depleted squad with several starters out, but is looking forward to taking on a struggling side like Bologna. With four losses in its last five, Bologna sits 12th in Serie A, which is the same spot it finished the last two seasons. It also dealt with a recent COVID-19 outbreak, which led to its game on Jan. 6 being postponed. You can catch all the action live on Paramount+.
Kickoff from Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna, Italy, is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. Napoli is listed as the -103 favorite (risk $103 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in the latest odds from Caesars Sportsbook, with Bologna is the +290 underdog. A draw is priced at +245 and the over-under for total goals scored is 2.5. Monday’s match will be streamed live on Paramount+ with their must-have Premium plan.

Italian Serie A picks for Bologna vs. Napoli
Before tuning into Monday’s match, you need to see the Napoli vs. Bologna picks from European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $37,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
For Bologna vs. Napoli, Green is picking Napoli to win at -103 odds. A win for Napoli would be its fourth straight against Bologna, and Napoli has outscored its opponent 7-2 over those contests. The Blues’ success against Bologna goes beyond recent encounters, as Napoli has won nine of the last 12 meetings between the teams.
Bologna also enters Monday’s game struggling in all thirds of the field, as it lost its last match 2-1 to Cagliari, which is in the relegation zone. Its past six games have seen four losses, one win and one postponement, so the last team Bologna wants to see is a Napoli squad it has historically struggled against. While Napoli will be without three key defenders, Bologna will also be without important players including playmaker Riccardo Orsolini and second-leading scorer Musa Barrow. With those absences cancelling each other out, Green sees Napoli’s forwards being the catalyst for a win.
“It may therefore be down to the forwards to lead Napoli to victory in this game,” Green told SportsLine. “[Victor] Osimhen could have an impact off the bench, while Dries Mertens and Andrea Petagna have impressed in recent games, and they have enough quality to help the away team edge this one.”
