The Italian Serie A is on the last stretch, as we only have three matchdays left to go for the season to wrap up, and the new champions are enjoying an early crown. However, the teams below keep fighting to secure spots in European competitions.

We are focusing on the clash between Napoli and Bologna, where locals come in need if they want to qualify for the Europa League. Atalanta and Juventus will play the Coppa Italia final in a few days and, considering that the Serie A got the extra ticket to the Champions League, all the Italian European competition places will\u00a0be awarded\u00a0via league table.\u00a0

As a result, the Partenopei are currently qualifying for the Conference League (8th spot,)\u00a0but\u00a0they\u00a0have a\u00a0small\u00a0chance to overtake Lazio (7th.)

Why Bet on Napoli?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Napoli will be looking to keep their hopes for the Europe League alive when they host Bologna for matchday 36.\u00a0

A tough season in Serie A has them placed eighth after 35 matches, and when we look back at this stage last season, it’s clear that the campaign has been a total disaster by all standards.\u00a0To add salt to the injury, they\u00a0are at risk of\u00a0dropping to ninth this weekend, having played a game more than Fiorentina, who only trail them by a point.\u00a0<\/strong>

Failing to qualify for Europe with a whopping eight tickets being awarded via Serie A, and after being champions, is a stain that a club this size cannot have.

While the former champions have only lost once in the last eight home games, they have only won twice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Bologna?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bologna is looking to get a few more points\u00a0just\u00a0to make sure that\u00a0they get their UEFA Champions League spot secured, as Atalanta and Roma are not too far behind.<\/strong>This\u00a0will be\u00a0yet\u00a0another shot at getting enough points to keep themselves clear.

Their sustained rise in the recent seasons is close to rewarding them with European football.\u00a0They have shown signs of running out of steam in recent matches, with just one triumph in five, but they will look at this as a game they can win.\u00a0<\/strong>

A 0-0 draw with Torino in their last outing marked their seventh unbeaten game. The problem is that it was their fourth draw in five matches and the third in that run where they failed to score.\u00a0<\/strong>

The 1-0 loss to Inter Milan early in March is the club’s only defeat in their last 15 games.\u00a0<\/strong>With that run, the Rossobl\u00f9 should feel confident enough to take on Napoli head-on.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis:\u00a0Napoli vs. Bologna<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Napoli is unbeaten in the last eight games against Bologna at home.\u00a0<\/strong>However, this version of the Rossobl\u00f9\u00a0is different\u00a0from its usual one this century, being a\u00a0great\u00a0collective force that can give\u00a0a bad day to\u00a0any team in Serie A.<\/a>They have also broken a few statistics against them with clubs like Milan and Juve\u00a0recently, so previous records are of little use.

With 13 points of difference in the table (in favor of Bologna), it’s weird that the visitors are underdogs by a\u00a0big\u00a0margin, but odds\u00a0makers tend to risk little in this\u00a0kind of\u00a0situation. Napoli is usually the strongest team, that’s\u00a0all about it.

We’ll go for a dull 1-1 draw.<\/strong>

Go for a draw at 3.66. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $266 for a total payout of $366.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
