Bologna, Italy – Na this Sunday wey Stadio Renato Dall’Ara go dey shake as Bologna and Napoli dey ready for serious showdown for Serie A. As international break dey come, Bologna need victory like person wey dey chase palm wine after plenty work (who no like fresh palm wine?). With plenty matches wey don pass, dem don dey struggle small after dem draw 0-0 against Brann for midweek. E no too sweet for their side as dem lose Charalampos Lykogiannis to red card early for dia last match, but dem still hold ground.
Bologna don collect 18 points from 10 games this season, and dem dey sit for 5th position for table – that one be progress wey no fit hide! Last match wey dem play, dem rise from behind to beat Parma 3-1 and dem dey eager to carry that energy enter this match against Napoli. Meanwhile, Napoli dey sit for the top wey get only one point advantage over Inter and Milan. But with mixed performances of late, them dey look for balance as dem dey face Bologna.
One thing wey dey cause palava for Napoli na dem away form. Dem don lose four out of dia last road matches? Abeg, no allow dem fool you! Dem draw 0-0 against Como and dem no fit just dey win like dia title-bearer status dey require. So, Bologna dey well positioned, and if dem fit keep their home advantage and capitalize on Napoli’s shaky form, e fit make dem win for first time against Napoli since 2019. Na serious matter!
Bologna’s coach Vincenzo Italiano go surely want make e players gree collect all di 3 points. But he go need all hand on deck because some players like Riccardo Orsolini don dey return after injury. For Napoli, dem get serious injury issues as Alex Meret and renowned stars like Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku no go fit play.
The stakes high as Bologna dey plan to keep dia unbeaten record at home while Napoli dey reach for top again. If dis match go like the last three wey dem play, we fit see more side-eye glances and tactical errors instead of goals. But if Bologna fit bring dia A-game, dem fit collect this match like wetin dem take when dem finish professional school (and dat na big achievement). Predictions dey show say Bologna fit sneak 2-1 win, but na football be dis, anything fit happen – just get your popcorn ready! Ya na invalid chiom, we dey expect serious drama this Sunday.
