Genoa v Bologna Best Bets
Bologna are one of the best away sides in the division, losing just three times all season away from home. In contrast, Genoa rank tenth in the home table, with five defeats on their home patch. With the incentive of a 3rd place finish for additional prize money and a place in their record books, we can’t see past Bologna to win at 2.30 with Paddy Power.
We expect there to be an open game with plenty of chances, with both teams in a position to enjoy themselves. Over 2.5 goals at 2.15 with Paddy Power looks like a great option.
However, if you think Genoa are capable of keeping things competitive, you can also back Bologna to win and both teams to score at 4.50 with Paddy Power for a longer odds play.

⚔️ Genoa v Bologna Head-to-Head
The sides’ past five head-to-heads are relatively close, with the Genovese edging it with two wins, two draws, and a sole Bologna victory.
Going back over their last ten meetings, La Rossa have only managed two victories in that time. This season’s encounters were a close affair, with a 1-1 draw in Bologna and a narrow Bologna win in Genoa.
The two clubs share a fascinating history, with Genoa describing the rivalry as ‘the great theft’. This goes back to when Genoa were on the verge of a tenth league title back in the 1920s, which would have given them a star on their shirt and were denied by Bologna along with the possibility of corruption and match-fixing.
Incredibly, the Genovese haven’t won a title since that time and despite the years, it will be embedded deep into the club’s folklore.
📊 Genoa Form and Stats
Genoa come into the game in mixed form, losing their last game away to Roma but with two home wins, an away draw in Milan and a narrow home defeat to Lazio. In their past five home games, they’ve won twice, lost twice and drawn once.
Il Grifone rarely get shut out at the Luigi Ferraris, with 83% of their home games this season seeing at least a goal from the home side.
However, they’ve scored first in just 38% of their home games and conceded 1.22 per home fixture. Icelandic forward Albert Gudmundsson leads the line with 14 goals in 34 games.
📊 Bologna Form and Stats
Bologna have been in sensational form this season and they are unbeaten in their last nine games, with their last defeat coming at the hands of the runaway champions, Inter Milan.
They tend to score on the road, with 72% of their away fixtures seeing a Bolognese goal, yet they do only have a 33% clean sheet record.
They tend to share their goals around, with Joshua Zirkzee (11 goals) and Riccardo Orsolini (ten goals), their two players to reach double figures this season.
