Serie A: Bologna vs. Napoli – Probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Antonio Conte could stick with the exact same starting XI when the table-topping Napoli take on Bologna at the Dall’Ara in Serie A on Sunday afternoon. 

Bologna were held to a 0-0 draw by Brann in the Europa League on Thursday evening, and pre-match reports suggest that they will make several alterations to their side that were involved in European action midweek. 

Riccardo Orsolini, Jens Odgaard and Jonathan Rowe are all candidates to return to the starting line-up as Federico Bernadeschi, Giovanni Fabbian and Nicolo Cambiaghi started in the attacking roles against Brann on Thursday. 

Napoli were also held to a 0-0 draw in Europe this week, against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, and unlike Bologna, could stick with a similar line-up for this evening’s Serie A clash. 

According to Sky Sport Italia, it could even be the same starting XI that takes to the field against Bologna on Sunday evening, with a front three of Matteo Politano, Rasmus Hojlund and Eljif Elmas. 

Kick-off is due at 14.00 GMT.
