Bologna vs Genoa tips and predictions

Restraint could be key for Bologna

With only 4 points between the two sides it's ninth placed Bologna versus 14th placed Genoa.

It's not a stone-cold certainty but once the shackles are off the home side can carve out a victory.

Bologna have shown their resolve leading up to this clash. The hosts have got 2 wins behind them from their last 3 home games. With contrasting fortunes the travelling side has been flattering to deceive at times. They've lost 3 of their last 4 matches. Obviously they've had different opposition but that doesn't sound like the record of a team that will be confident about winning this.

This home team is in a bit of a purple patch on their own paddock. Bologna have scored three or more goals in 5 of their recent 10 home matches. Notwithstanding the sportsbooks' opinions, what else is there to be considered?

Genoa have been punished when they've lost their shape. They've conceded two or more goals in all of their last 5 matches. Studying these findings creates plenty of encouragement for the home side to produce a result. They'll come into the match looking to exploit holes that may appear in the visitors' defence.

In their last fixture Genoa were beaten 2-1 by Fiorentina.

It's felt that both sides can score as the teams are nicely matched. The short price won't appeal to everyone but the Yes BTTS warrants some consideration. And taking a look at the goal line, it's more than three goals standing out in this one given the prices available.
