Form analysis and trajectory
- SSC Napoli: they opened the campaign with a win before back-to-back defeats, leaving them 12th with three points. The goal pattern is balanced at five scored and five conceded across three matches, indicating defensive slippage after matchday one. Their average Sofascore team rating sits at 7.03, pointing to solid individual displays but inconsistency in results.
- Bologna: they began with consecutive losses and halted the slide with a draw, sitting 15th with one point. Output has been limited to two goals in three matches, while a four-goal against tally suggests a relatively compact defence that has not offset attacking inefficiency. Their average Sofascore team rating is 7.11, marginally higher than Napoli’s, despite the weaker points return.
