Bologna vs Genoa Predictions

• Bologna are unbeaten in their last nine home matches, winning eight in that run
• Genoa have won just one of their last nine away games, losing seven in that sequence
• The hosts have won five of their last six Serie A home matches to nil

Back Bologna to bounce back

Bologna have been on an almighty run in Serie A this season, especially at home where they are unbeaten in nine matches, and now find themselves in fifth and firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish.

Thiago Motta’s side had recorded back-to-back league victories to nil over strong outfits Roma and Atalanta either side of an exceptional cup victory over Inter Milan prior to a shock 3-0 defeat to Udinese last time out, but the Red and Blues should be supported to bounce back from that hiccup.

That win came away from home and their form at Stadio Renato DallAra is exceptional, winning five of their last six league matches there to nil, suggesting they will perform far better in front of their own fans when Genoa arrive on Friday.

Goals for Genoa seem unlikely

The visitors are firmly in mid-table, sat in 12th, and may struggle on their travels again just as they have done for the whole campaign.

Genoa have won just one of their last nine away games, losing seven in that run despite only facing one top-six side in the sequence, and they may struggle to even land a blow against a resolute Bologna backline.

The hosts won the last meeting between the pair and are an even stronger outfit this time around, suggesting they should get back to winning ways and continue in their hunt for a top-four finish in this clash.
