Bologna coach Stefano Pioli says that his team must attack Napoli if they are to take anything from tonight's encounter at the Stadio San Paolo.

Bologna coach Stefano Pioli has insisted that his team will attack from the off against Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo this evening.

Rossoblu are struggling near the foot of the table, and have won just once away from home all season.

Meanwhile, Walter Mazzarri's men lie third and are chasing Scudetto glory, despite trailing leaders Juventus by eight points.

Pioli warned his team that they will be punished if they failed to rise to the occasion against Partenopei.

"We must not and cannot just clam up and defend in Naples," Football Italia quotes Pioli as saying.

"If we play like that against the big clubs, then sooner or later we get punished. Attack is the best form of defence."

Bologna are just one point off the relegation zone.
