Napoli for A new winnig streak !

Napoli will look to bounce back from their late defeat to Inter when they host on Saturday Bologna at the Stadio San Paolo.

Carlo Ancelotti's side will retry to start a new winning run against Bologna few days after their 10-game unbeatable streak was ended by Lautaro Martinez's late strike.

The game on Saturday will lack the presence of Kalidou Koulibaly and Lorenzo Insigne as both of the players were shown red cards during the dramatic game against Inter.

The tough boxing day match lead also Marek Hamšík to pull up a muscular injury that forced him to leave the field after 23 minutes. This may cause the club captain to miss the Bologna game and push him to join the team injury list alongside Romanian player Vlad Chiriches who is out for a long term due to ACL injury.

On the other hand, after the 2-0 home defeat to Lazio, Filippo Inzaghi and his team will be trying willing to find a solution for their extended winless run since they failed to win any Serie A game since September.

Bologna could be looking at a fully fit squad regarding the doubtful return of the Italian striker Diego Falcinelli who has been suffering with flu this week.

Keep eye on: Dries Mertens (Napoli): who has succeeded to visit Bologna’s net 6 times in the last 3 games where the teams have met.
