Napoli Face Tough Bologna Test as Serie A Title Race Heats Up

Napoli’s bid to chase down Serie A leaders Inter Milan faces a stern challenge on Monday as they visit in-form Bologna, who have surged into the top four with a five-match winning streak.

Antonio Conte’s Napoli trail Inter by three points with eight matches remaining. Midfielder Scott McTominay’s return to full training is a boost, while Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa is also fit. However, defender Leonardo Spinazzola remains sidelined.

Bologna will be without AC Milan loanee Davide Calabria, who is out with an ankle sprain.

Inter Milan, meanwhile, visit struggling Parma on Saturday but are dealing with multiple injuries. Denzel Dumfries is expected to miss another month, while Lautaro Martinez, Federico Dimarco, and Marko Arnautovic remain doubts.

Atalanta, third in the standings and nine points behind Inter, face Lazio after back-to-back defeats. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini admitted their title hopes faded after a 2-0 loss to Inter in March.

Juventus, under new coach Igor Tudor, travel to AS Roma, who have won seven straight league games. Juve will be without defender Federico Gatti, who fractured his leg against Genoa.
