Match prediction for Genoa vs Bologna

The teams Genoa and Bologna will face off at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in a match for the 22nd round of Serie A TIM. Bologna won at home 2-1 the last time they faced off in this league edition on September 20, 2025. The head-to-head record at this stadium indicates a balance between these two teams, as there has been 1 draw and 1 win for each team in the last 3 encounters. Indeed, their last meeting at this venue was on October 19, 2024, in a Serie A TIM match that ended in a 2-2 draw. Goals in that match were scored by Andrea Pinamonti (73′ and 85′) for Genoa and by Jens Odgaard (56′) and Riccardo Orsolini (37′) for Bologna. In this match, the home advantage could play a significant role, as Bologna has shown marked differences in results achieved at home versus away.

Genoa Analysis

The home team currently sits in 16th place, with 20 points from 4 wins, 8 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate match, they won at home against Cagliari 3-0. In their last match, they drew 0-0 away against Parma. This team is minimally affected by the home advantage, displaying similar results at home and away. In their last 30 matches, they have 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses as visitors, scoring 18 goals and conceding 24, compared to 4 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses at home, with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 home games in the league, Genoa has 2 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, earning 9 points out of a possible 30. The most common result at halftime in their home matches has been 0-0, which occurred in 4 of their 11 games. The team has allowed goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, indicating a lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has scored regularly, finding the net in 8 of their last 10 league games. Out of the 21 league matches, they have only managed to turn around the score in 1 of the 8 games in which they conceded the first goal.

The Genoa enters this match after a 0-0 draw away at Parma, marking the fourth consecutive match without a defeat in Serie A. The home team typically plays in a 3-5-2 tactical system, preferring a more defensive style of play, attacking through the central corridor, relying primarily on offensive transitions. It is important to note that in this formation, the two players responsible for creating danger in the opponent’s defense will be Lorenzo Colón and Vitinha. Missing this match is Leo Østigård (suspended) along with Caleb Ekuban and Albert Grønbæk (injured).

Confirmed lineup: Nicola Leali, Alessandro Marcandalli, Stefano Sabelli, Johan Vásquez, Sebastian Otoa, Aarón Martín, Mikael Egill Ellertsson, Morten Frendrup, Ruslan Malinoxkyi, Vitinha, Lorenzo Colón.
Manager: P. Vieira.

Bologna Analysis

After 8 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses, the away team is in 8th place, having accumulated 30 points. In their last match, they lost to Fiorentina at home 1-2, after previously winning a match away against Hellas Verona 3-2. Interestingly, this team has shown better results away than at home, as in their last 30 matches, they have 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses as visitors, scoring a total of 22 goals and conceding 19. At home, they have 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses, with 21 goals scored and 16 conceded. The team arrives at this match after a 2-2 draw at home against Celtic. In the league, Bologna has earned 16 points from 30 possible, with 4 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 away matches. The most common halftime result in their away matches has been 0-0 (4 in 11 games). The team has conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, showing a lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has scored consistently, finding the net in 8 of their last 10 league games. Out of the 21 matches in this competition, they have managed to turn around the score in only 3 of the 12 matches in which they conceded first.

Bologna arrives at this match after a 2-2 draw against Celtic in a Europa League match. In their last Serie A encounter, the visitors lost 1-2 to Fiorentina. The away team is expected to line up in their usual 4-3-3 formation, a system that favors quick transitions and attacks down the flanks, particularly on the left side. It is on this flank that they often create the most imbalances, largely due to the offensive depth provided by Charalampos Lykogiannis, a full-back who is not hesitant to push upfield and support the attack. Up front, the trio of Santiago Castro, Riccardo Orsolini, and Nicolò Cambiaghi is dangerous, capable of exploiting gaps in the opposing defense with quick movements and constant positional changes. Juan Miranda will miss this game due to suspension.

Confirmed lineup: Federico Ravaglia, Charalampos Lykogiannis, Emil Holm, Nicolò Casale, Torbjørn Heggem, Remo Freuler, Tommaso Pobega, Jens Odgaard, Nicolò Cambiaghi, Riccardo Orsolini, Ciro Immobile.
Manager: S. Mihajlović.
