Bologna are set to visit Genoa as they switch back to Serie A action right after a home game in Europe. Now placed eighth in Serie A, Bologna’s top six hopes are dwindling while 16th-placed Genoa have been rising. Read on to find our prediction of this match.
Genoa have taken on a slow but steady rise away from the relegation region in the past few weeks. After their 0-0 draw with Parma last time out, Genoa have opened up a three-point gap from the bottom three.
In the last six times they hosted Bologna, Il Grifone only lost once, and here they will be looking to get back to such levels. They posted three wins in the process.
Bologna had another tough night in Europe as they could only draw 2-2 with 10-man Celtic at home. In the Europa League, that was their second straight winless outing, but it was some improvement from their 2-1 loss to Fiorentina earlier.
Across their last 10 matches, Bologna have only managed one win, against bottom side Verona. I Rossoblu will be desperate to kickstart their campaign, having fallen seven points off the top six after their latest Serie A setback.
They claimed a 2-1 win in the reverse meeting, and here they’d love to improve on a six-match away run without a clean sheet.

Our Genoa vs Bologna Prediction
Four of the last five meetings between these two sides had both teams score. That includes their latest meeting, which Bologna won 2-1. Bologna will want to secure a double over Genoa for the first time since the 2017/18 season. Genoa have, however, proven to be stubborn in recent times and could be a handful here.
The hosts have failed to score in only three of their last 10 matches, and Bologna will want to invoke their own prowess in attack too. With both sides showing some consistency in attack, our prediction for Genoa v Bologna is for BTTS.
