Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Genoa and Bologna square off against each other at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in an all-Rossoblu clash. Genoa are on a four-game losing run in all competitions, but Saturday’s clash could be the turning point for Alberto Gilardino’s troops. Alessandro Vogliacco is widely expected to return to the starting XI as Mattia Bani failed to impress in a 5-1 loss to Atalanta before the international break. The likes of Vitinha, Milan Badelj, Caleb Ekuban, and Ruslan Malinovskyi remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Parma. As Genoa are tough to beat at home, yet another share of spoils is on the cards. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in five of the previous six meetings between the two sides in the national championship. Both Oussama El Azzouzi and Lewis Ferguson miss out with injuries for the away team.
