Napoli vs Bologna Timeline & Historical Context

The available Napoli vs Bologna timeline begins with their Serie A clash on 25 August 2024 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. On that occasion, Napoli made a strong statement at home with a 3-0 victory in Serie A Regular Season - 2, having led 1-0 at half-time. That result underlined Napoli’s capacity to control games in Naples against this opponent.

The next chapter came on 7 April 2025 in Serie A Regular Season - 31 at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. Bologna hosted and went into the break 0-1 down, but responded after half-time to earn a 1-1 draw. That match highlighted Bologna’s resilience at home and showed that Napoli could be pegged back when failing to close out a lead.

The rivalry intensified in the 2025 Serie A season. On 9 November 2025, again at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Regular Season - 11, Bologna produced their standout result in this sequence, beating Napoli 2-0 after a goalless first half. It was a clear home win and the only Bologna victory in these five fixtures, rebalancing the dynamic after earlier Napoli dominance.

Just over a month later, on 22 December 2025, the teams met on neutral ground in Riyadh at King Saud University Stadium for the Super Cup Final. Napoli, designated as the home side, led 1-0 at half-time and went on to secure a 2-0 win over Bologna. That Super Cup success added a trophy context to the Napoli vs Bologna timeline and reinforced Napoli’s ability to perform in high-stakes, one-off matches against this opponent.

The most recent encounter was on 11 May 2026 in Serie A Regular Season - 36 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. In a high-scoring contest, Bologna went into half-time 2-1 ahead and eventually won 3-2.

Historical Statistical Verdict

Looking across the available Napoli vs Bologna stats, Napoli hold the edge in both results and scoring output: 3 wins to 1, and a 9-6 aggregate goal advantage over five recent meetings. At Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Napoli have taken 2 wins from 3, although Bologna’s 3-2 success on 11 May 2026 shows the visitors are capable of upsetting the hosts on their own pitch. Bologna’s stronger record at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara (one win and one draw) underlines how venue has influenced this matchup.

Current league form ahead of the 13 September 2026 fixture points slightly towards Napoli as well. They have more points, a more productive attack, and at least one clean sheet, while Bologna are still searching for their first win and have yet to record a shut-out. History points to Napoli as the more reliable side in this pairing, but Bologna’s recent away win in Naples and their ability to respond in key moments suggest this contest should not be treated as a foregone conclusion.
