Napoli and Bologna meet with both managers under scrutiny
Napoli host Bologna at the Diego Maradona Stadium on 13 September after difficult starts to the season and a reported three-match losing run for the home side.
Napoli will host Bologna in Serie A on 13 September, with both clubs seeking a result to steady their early-season campaigns.
Napoli have lost three consecutive matches in all competitions, including a 1–0 home defeat by Arsenal and a 3–2 loss to Inter after taking a two-goal lead. The run has increased scrutiny of manager Massimiliano Allegri.
Last season’s Serie A runners-up opened the league campaign with a 2–0 win at Genoa. A further home defeat would reportedly leave Napoli facing three successive league losses for the first time since January 2020.
Bologna have one point from their opening three league matches. They lost narrowly to Atalanta and Lazio before drawing 2–2 with Sassuolo, with a late equaliser preventing a third consecutive defeat.
Manager Domenico Tedesco is also under pressure, according to Yahoo Sports. The source reports that the match has heightened significance for both managers, while cautioning that the consequences of a defeat remain uncertain.
Allegri has an unbeaten managerial record against Bologna in 26 meetings, recording 19 wins and seven draws, according to the supplied source.
