Key points
- Allegri has never lost to Bologna in 26 meetings (19 wins, 7 draws) but has won just once at the Maradona as Napoli boss

- Napoli have won only once in three league games; Bologna offers a chance to respond before tougher fixtures ease
AI summary
Massimiliano Allegri's record at the Maradona as Napoli manager makes grim reading: five matches, four defeats and a draw. Tomorrow's visit of Bologna offers a chance to break that curse, though the manager arrives with a depleted squad and just three points from three games after opening wins only at Genoa.
Allegri has an excellent record against Bologna overall—unbeaten in 26 previous meetings—but has tasted success at Napoli's home ground only as a rival, most recently with Juventus in March 2019. With McTominay unavailable until after the international break and Buongiorno sidelined by summer injury, he must find solutions from a squad that includes recent arrivals Badiashile and Favasuli.
