Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuaín.

Bottom-three club Bologna FC (4-9-1, 13 points) will host current league leader SSC Napoli (9-1-4, 31 points) in a 2015-2016 Serie A game at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Sunday, December 6.

Bologna snapped its three-game unbeaten streak to halt its rise out of the relegation group with a 0-2 loss to Torino at the Olimpico di Torino last Saturday, as per ESPN.

Roberto Donadoni's men were hampered by Il Toro for the whole 90 minutes as Maroon goalkeeper Daniele Padelli pulled off a clean sheet.

Forward Andrea Belotti and Giuseppe Vives both scored the two goals for Torino late in the second half at the 75th and 90th+2 minutes.

Meanwhile, Napoli continued its undefeated run across the league with a highly-entertaining 2-1 victory over erstwhile league leader Inter Milan at the Stadio San Paolo on Monday, via SkySports.

No less than Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuaín netted the goals for Maurizio Sarri's squad at the 2nd and 62nd minutes to overtake Internazionale for the top spot in the league table.

Serbian midfielder Adem Ljajic scored the lone goal for I Nerazzurri at the 67th to put his team on the board.

Inter Milan's Japanese defender Yuto Nagatomo was sent off at the 44th, which contributed to La Beneamata's fall.

Partenopei had been undefeated in 13 games now and it is anticipated to extend to 14 in this match against Bologna.

The predicted result is a 4-0 romp for Napoli.

Bologna starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Mirante; Rossettini, Gastaldello, Maietta, Masina; Rizzo, Diawara, Zapata; Brighi, Mancosu, Giaccherini

Napoli starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Reina; Soderlund, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Higuaín, Insigne
