Bologna vs. Napoli preview: Team news, prediction, date, and how to watch Serie A on DAZN

It's the final round of Serie A games before November's international break and it sees things more tighter at the top than ever, while clubs have begun sacking season with three bosses gone in the last week. 

DAZN will show 380 live games across 2025-26, and matchday eleven sees champions Napoli make a testing-looking trip to Bologna.

It's been a frustrating week for Antonio Conte's men, who dropped points last weekend in a stalemate with Como and then repeated the act with a goalless draw against Eintracht Frankfurt as their Champions League campaign continues to underwhelm. 

Injuries have been a major factor in their start to the season and the international break could prove to be a welcome rest while they await on key names to come back. Before the rest, however, they go head-to-head with Bologna, looking to maintain their lead at the top. 

They'll need to be wary of Vincenzo Italiano's frontline of Riccardo Orsolini and Santiago Castro, who both have been among the goals this season.
