Napoli v Bologna prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.6 goals from Napoli and 0.9 from Bologna, so Napoli come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Our pick: Napoli to win. Napoli are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.6-0.9), and we make them about 60% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 60 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.58, which works out at about 63 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

One thing to watch

Bologna only need one good spell or a set-piece to nick something, and short-priced favourites slip up plenty. The price is shorter than our own read of about 60%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
