Bologna vs Genoa Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 05/01/2024, 06:41  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Bologna will look to get back to winning ways and continue their top-four push as they host mid-table Genoa in their first match of new year. This Serie A matchday 19 will be held at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Friday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 5th with 31 points while the visitors are 12th with 20 points. Bologna are two points behind top-four spots which is a realistic target considering how their season has unfolded. They have won eight and drawn seven with only three losses all season long. Unfortunately though, one of those defeats came last time out when they were beaten 3-0 by Udinese. They couldn’t have asked for a better venue to get back to winning ways as Bologna have won their last six home Serie A matches.

Genoa are six points above the bottom-three, so for now there’s no imminent relegation threat. They held leaders Inter to a 1-1 draw last time out which made it three games without a loss – two draws and a win. Yet, that was their only victory across their last six league games, underlining their failure to convert good performances into wins. That is even more evident on the road where Genoa have been one of the worst sides this season. They have lost five of their last six away matches in all competitions, winning just once. Even in the league, they have lost six of their last away league games – winning and drawing once each.
