Napoli go into this game looking to further close the gap behind the leading pack in Serie A, whereas Bologna hope to keep their advantage over relegation rivals by taking at least one point from San Paolo.

Despite all the hype surrounding San Paolo after the impressive last season and the summer arrivals, the Azzurri experienced major problems at the start to the season.

The demanding Champions League campaign probably played a part, so Napoli fans are happy to finally see their beloved team playing to their potential.

The Partenopei returned to the running for the top 3 finish with amazing wins over Genoa and Palermo, in which they scored no less than nine goals.

The Coppa Italia victory over Cesena helped the team keep their spirits at a very high level, so no wonder Bet365 pays just 1.33 (1/3) on Napoli to beat Bologna.

Apart from Ezequiel Lavezzi, Walter Mazzarri has fully fit squad to choose from, with Zuniga and Dossena vying for the place on the left hand side.

Probable starting line-up (3-4-2-1): De Sanctis – Campagnaro, Cannavaro, Aronica – Maggio, Inler, Gargano, Zuniga – Hamsik, Pandev – Cavani.

Bologna started this season in terrible fashion, picking up just one point from first five Serie A games, but the team have shown a lot of improvement since.

The Rossoblu went on to win three of next four games, and they have since managed to stay above the relegation zone.

Home victory over Catania saw Bologna create a six-point advantage over the bottom three, meaning they enter this match without big pressure.

Panagiotis Kone, Simone Loria and Alessandro Diamanti remain sidelined, with Acquafresca and Di Vaio expected to form the attacking partnership.

By scoring in the dying moments of the Catania game, Marco Di Vaio took his scoring tally to five goals and he is now 4.75 (15/4) with Bet365 to score at San Paolo.

Probable starting line-up (3-4-1-2): Gillet – Raggi, Antonsson, Cherubin – Pulzetti, Perez, Mudingayi, Morleo – Ramirez – Acquafresca, Di Vaio.
