Genoa Bologna betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Given what we discussed earlier, the possibility of a goal match is great. Even playing away from home, Bologna should rule the game and dominate possession, attacking in a more organized way. On the other hand, we expect a very dangerous Genoa on the counterattack, thus taking advantage of the space on the defensive line offered by the opponent. Taking into account all the factors, betting in favor of the "Both teams to score - Yes" market is a good option for this game.

At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history indicates total balance between these two teams, since there is a record of 2 draws and 1 win for each team in the last 4 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium was on 25‑09‑2019, in a match for the Serie A, they tied (0‑0).

After 2 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses, the home team is in the 19th position, havinf won 11 points so far. In the last match, they have lost in an away match against Sassuolo by (2‑1), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) at home, against Lazio. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. For the league, Genoa won 5 points out of 24 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 8 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 7 home matches. In their home league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑1 (3 out of 8 matches) and 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They haven't been able to score the first goal. In fact, they have only opened up the score in 3 of the last 16 matches for the Serie A, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 1 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 1.

Genoa arrives for this game unmotivated after the 2-1 defeat to Sassuolo, putting an end to two straight games without losing in this Italian championship: the team's only goal was signed by Eldor Shomurodov. In this game against Bologna, manager Davide Ballardini should keep the team in its usual tactical formation, the 3-5-2, where Eldor Shomurodov and Mattia Destro are the most advanced men of the team: the last athlete mentioned is the great highlight of this team, with 5 goals scored. Out of this game are Cristian Zapata, Goran Pandev, Luca Pellegrinio and Davide Birashi, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Mattia Perin, Davide Zappacosta, Andrea Masiello, Domenico Criscito, Mattia Bani, Miha Zajc, Milan Badelj, Valon Behrami, Mattia Destro, Eldor Shomurodov.

Analysis Bologna

The away team is currently in the 12th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 4 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Fiorentina, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Udinese, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Bologna has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 5 draws in the last matches and they haven't won any of the last 4 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 16 matches for the Serie A, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Bologna arrives for this game with a 2-2 home draw against Udinese, registering in this way the fifth match without losing in the Italian championship: the goals of the team were signed by Mattias Svanberg and Takehiro Tomiyasu. Playing away from home, manager Sinisa Mihajlovic should act with a cautious strategy, looking for the counterattack in order to exploit the enemy's back. At individual level, we highlight the center midfielder Roberto Soriano, a player who has scored 6 goals so far. For this game the visiting team cannot count on Mattias Svanberg, suspended, as well as Lorenzo De Silvestri, Ibrahima Mbaye and Lukasz Skorupski, all with physical problems.
