Genoa fought hard in their away match against Sassuolo but could not take anything from that match. They will now return home for their next task, where they will play host to Bologna on Saturday. Bologna are coming off yet another draw but remain win-less since late November.

Genoa (2-9-5) are coming off a 1-2 loss on the road against Sassuolo. They did temporarily pull even but they conceded another goal and lost. They have won just one of their last eight (1-4-3) but only failed to score once in that span. Genoa are sitting at the penultimate spot of the Serie A with 11 points, just one point below the red line. They haven’t been much better at home (1-5-2), scoring 11 and conceding 16 goals.

Bologna (4-7-5) played for a 2-2 draw at home against Udinese, in a frustrating match. They took the lead twice, they were left with 10 men at the start of the second half and eventually conceded the equalizing goal at the stoppage time. They now have five consecutive draws and are win-less in their last seven (0-2-5). Bologna are sitting at the 12th spot of the Serie A with 17 points, five above the red line. They have been rather weak on the road so far (1-4-3), scoring 7 and conceding 12 goals.

The two teams split the points in a goal-less draw in this venue last season, while Genoa won the reverse fixture by 3-0 on the road. However, Bologna have been quite solid in this venue since 2014 (2-1-3). The Over 2.5 Goals looks nice given what we’ve seen so far. The only thing that doesn’t look nice is the fact that only one of the last 14 matches between the two sides produced Over 2.5 Goals. Proceed with caution.
