At 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on January 18, 2022, the 22nd round of the Italian Serie A is about to kick off, and Bologna will meet the challenge of Napoli at the Dalara Stadium. Looking at the situation in the standings alone, the performance of both teams is still satisfactory to the fans, the home team Bologna is now ranked 13th in Serie A, with a double-digit point difference from the relegation zone, basically relegation is not too much of a problem. However, they have no possibility of entering the European theater, so they are now in a state of no desire and no demand.
The away team Napoli has also performed well this season, ranking third in the league with 43 points, and only seven points away from Inter Milan at the top of the table. But given their near-invincible form at the start of the season and their performance at the top of the table for a long time, Napoli now certainly can't accept the current ranking. In this game, Spalletti's team is definitely hoping to get three points to narrow the gap with the top team.
Neither team has been in very good form recently, with Bologna, having lost four of their last five games, and there is no shortage of relegation teams like Cagliari. And there is also bad news for them, that is, they have lost 4 consecutive games against Napoli in direct combat before, and they do not have an advantage in terms of mentality. For napoli, their last four games have also won only 1 match against Sampdoria.
It is worth mentioning that both teams have a lot of African players in the team, so the impact of the African Cup of Nations is very large. Although Napoli left Osmayne, they still lost the main players such as Coury Bari, and the home team Bologna also lost players such as Barrow. So the game is significantly more variable for both teams.
