After a dramatic weekend of Serie A action, the final fixture of the matchday on Monday night has taken on an even greater significance.
Bologna welcome Napoli to the Stadio Renato dall'Ara in a showdown with major ramifications for both the Scudetto race and the fight for Champions League football.
Inter handed title rivals Napoli a surprise reprieve on Saturday despite taking a 2-0 lead away to Parma, as the home side's super subs proved inspired in fighting back to salvage a point.
That means Napoli have the chance to close the gap on the defending champions to a single point but that will be no easy task against a Bologna side who have their own lofty ambitions in view.
After qualifying for the Champions League this season for the first time in its modern format, they are incredibly on track to repeat the feat - despite losing key men like Thiago Motta (Juventus) and Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United) last summer.
Vincenzo Italiano has proven an inspired choice to take the reins at the Rossoblu and with Riccardo Orsolini in some of the finest form of his career, they have propelled themselves back into the top four.
They are level on points with Juve, who have already dispensed with the services of Motta in an interesting twist of fate, and are aware of the importance of three points to their own needs.
The omens are good for Napoli, who have scored more goals (197) against Bologna than any other side and are also unbeaten in nine of their last 10 league encounters and have lost on just one of their previous eight trips north.
Much of Bologna's hopes will rely on the aforementioned Orsolini, who has more goals (32) than any other Italian player since the start of 2022/23 but it should be noted that Napoli are the side he has faced most (11 games) in Serie A without scoring or assisting.
