The available Napoli vs Bologna timeline highlights a balanced rivalry in recent seasons, with both clubs taking turns to dominate individual fixtures across league and cup competitions.

The earliest match in this dataset came on 25 August 2024 in Serie A Regular Season - 2 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The next chapter came on 7 April 2025 in Serie A Regular Season - 31 at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

On 9 November 2025, again at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Serie A Regular Season - 11, Bologna took a more decisive step. After a goalless first half (0-0 at the break), Bologna 2-0 Napoli was the full-time score, giving Bologna a clean-sheet home win and signalling a shift in the balance of this matchup.

Historical Statistical Verdict

Historically, Napoli vs Bologna stats portray a fixture that is tighter than Napoli’s overall goal edge might suggest. Across the five recent meetings, each side has two wins and there has been one draw, with Napoli outscoring Bologna 9-6 but unable to translate that advantage into a clear superiority in results. The venue split shows Napoli generally strong at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, though Bologna’s 3-2 away win on 11 May 2026 proves they can be dangerous in Naples. Current Serie A 2026 form tilts slightly towards Napoli, who have already recorded a win and show greater attacking output, while Bologna are still searching for their first victory and have struggled to score. Taken together, the historical head-to-head record, the Napoli vs Bologna timeline, and early-season trends point to Napoli entering as favourites, but with enough evidence from past meetings to suggest Bologna cannot be discounted.
