&lt;p&gt;The home side, after they hypothetically reached the Coppa Italia Frecciarossa final with a 3-0 win over Empoli, will be back in league action and are aiming for their sixth consecutive win to stay in fourth and potentially make a move for third place.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli must win to prove that they have come through the other side of a difficult period. After beating AC Milan they will look for the win against Bologna to reaffirm their title ambitions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli have scored the most goals against Bologna in Serie A (197). The Partenopei have won 50 of their 131 Serie A matches against the Rossoblu (D39 L42), only against Lazio (54), Fiorentina (54) and Torino (52) have they achieved more wins in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli haven’t lost in nine of their last 10 league matches (W6 D3) against Bologna; the only wins for the Emilians in that period arrived in May 2024 (2-0 at the Maradona Stadium).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have won just one of their last eight games (D3 L4) at the Dall’Ara Stadium against Napoli in Serie A (3-2 in May 2019 under Sinisa Mihajlovic, with a brace by Federico Santander and a goal by Blerim Dzemaili), drawing the two most recent ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have won their last five league games; only three times previously have the Emilians recorded more consecutive wins in their history in Serie A - six between February and March 2024 under Thiago Motta; six between April and May 1967 under Luis Carniglia and 10 between November 1963 and February 1964 under Fulvio Bernardini.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna have won six consecutive league games at the Dall’Ara Stadium; the last time the Rossoblù won more home games in a row in Serie A was between March and August 2019 (8 under Sinisa Mihajlovic).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2025, Bologna have scored the most goals (25) in Serie A; in addition, only Roma have picked up more points (32) than the Emilians (28 in 13 matches – W8 D4 L1) in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a win against Milan in their most recent match, Napoli could win at least two league games in a row for the first time since between December 2024 and January 2025 (run of 7). Furthermore, the last away win in Serie A for the Partenopei was in January 2025 against Atalanta (D3 L1 since).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bologna and Napoli have faced the fewest shots both in total (262 for the Rossoblù and 296 for the Azzurri) and on target (83 for the Emilians and 85 for the Partenopei) in Serie A this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Riccardo Orsolini - who equalled his record of goals (11, as in 2022-23) in a single Serie A season - is the Italian player with the most goals in the last three seasons in Serie A (32 goals for him since 2022-23). However, Napoli are the opponent he has played the most matches against (11) without scoring or providing an assist in the top-flight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Romelu Lukaku has scored five goals in five games against Bologna in Serie A, with the Belgian scoring on average a goal every 81 minutes against the Rossoblu; only against Benevento (every 37 minutes – 4 goals in 2 matches) does he have a better mins/goal rate in the competition. In addition, in 2025 only Mateo Retegui (11) has been involved in more goals than the Napoli striker in Serie A (9 - 5 goals, 4 assists).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Antonio Conte (Napoli).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Pobega (Bologna); Anguissa, Di Lorenzo (Napoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;MASSA (MELI – ALASSIO) IV: SACCHI, VAR: MARINI, AVAR: ABISSO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atalanta-Bologna (Sunday 13 April, 12.30 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli-Empoli (Monday 14 April 20.45 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
