Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Bologna and Genoa take on each other at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in an all-Rossoblu clash. Bologna aim to bounce back from a heavy loss (1-6) to Inter, with the team eyeing their third win of the season. Summer signing Marko Arnautovic is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while both Jerdy Schouten and K. Dogo Michael remain in the recovery room. Genoa, on the other hand, suffered their third defeat of the process at the weekend, with the team losing to Fiorentina in front of home fans.
Vincenzo Italiano’s troops aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but seeing that Bologna are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on Sinisa Mihajlovic’s troops. You should bear in mind, though, that Bologna failed to beat Genoa in the previous six meetings between the two teams in the Serie A.
