Bologna will invite league leaders Napoli to Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Serie A on Sunday. Both teams have suffered just two losses in 10 league games thus far, and the defending champions have a four-point lead over the hosts.
The Rossoblù head into the match in great form, and they are unbeaten in all competitions since September. They returned to winning ways after two draws in Serie A last week, with a 3-1 away triumph over Parma.
Santiago Castro's brace and a late goal from Juan Miranda helped them secure a comeback win. Their unbeaten streak continued in the UEFA Europa League, and they were held to a goalless draw by Brann.
The visitors were held to a scoreless draw against Como in Serie A and played out another goalless stalemate against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week.

Bologna vs Napoli Prediction
The Felsinei are unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions, though five have ended in draws. They have won three of their four Serie A home games this season, keeping three clean sheets, and will look to build on that form.
Remo Freuler is a confirmed absentee for the hosts, and Ciro Immobile is in contention to start here.
The Partenopei have drawn their last two games without finding the back of the net, and will look to return to goalscoring ways here. They have lost four of their last five away games.
Antonio Conte has some notable absentees, as Romelu Lukaku, Alex Meret, and Kevin De Bruyne are sidelined with injuries. Billy Gilmour and Leonardo Spinazzola are also likely to sit this one out.
Three of the last five meetings between the two teams have ended in draws, and considering their current form, we back them to settle for another draw.
