Predictions & Betting Tips

Bologna can be better than Genoa on Saturday

Bologna F.C. are flying high in Serie A 2024/2025, having picked up 62 points from their first 37 games to sit 8th in the table, and Vincenzo Italiano’s men will be looking to extend their good form with a win over a Genoa side that are outside European contention. According to our Bologna F.C. vs Genoa prediction, this fixture provides an exciting opportunity for Bologna to showcase their recent improvements against a struggling Genoa. Bologna have been in mixed form in recent weeks, winning one, drawing two and losing two of their previous five games, but a gutsy 1-0 win over AC Milan provided a platform to build on, and Italiano’s side will be feeling confident about their chances of victory on Saturday. Genoa, on the other hand, have seen their form dip over the same period, and Patrick Vieira’s side are winless in their last five games, picking up just one draw and suffering four defeats. This poor run has seen them fall to 13th in the Serie A 2024/2025 table, and well outside European contention. The Bologna F.C. vs Genoa preview suggests both teams are heading into the match with different levels of confidence.

An end-to-end clash unlikely

The contrast in style between these sides will make for an intriguing chess match on the pitch, with Bologna looking to control the game through possession and Genoa setting up shop deep in their own half and looking to spring counter-attacks. Bologna have scored 1.78 goals per home game in this Serie A campaign, but have also only conceded 0.83 goals per league game in front of their own fans, and their organised midfield setup and possession-based style of play has helped Italiano’s team to pick up some impressive silverware. This Bologna F.C. vs Genoa prediction could be shaped by the solid defensive record of Bologna at home. Riccardo Orsolini has been Bologna’s talisman this season, scoring 14 goals in 29 league games and providing two of Bologna’s last five goals. Genoa, meanwhile, have Andrea Pinamonti up front, with the Italian international scoring 10 Serie A goals in 36 games, but he’s been on fire of late, scoring half of Genoa’s last four goals.
