Genoa vs Bologna prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

Genoa welcome Bologna to the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in their last Serie A game of the campaign on Saturday.

The hosts were relegated to Serie B as they fell to a 3-0 loss at Napoli in their previous outing. With a win in this game, they might be able to pull level with 17th-placed Salernitana on points but the Salerno-based outfit have the advantage in the head-to-head record.

Bologna are in for yet another mid-table finish this season and a run of three games without a win has seen them give up the chance to secure a finish in the upper half of the table. They fell to a 3-1 loss at home to Sassuolo last time around.

Genoa vs Bologna Prediction

Genoa have the worst attacking record in Serie A, scoring just 27 goals thus far. We expect their poor goalscoring form to continue here. Bologna have nothing much to play for in this game and that should be an impetus for them to play more freely.

We expect Bologna to secure a win in this game.

Prediciton: Genoa 0-2 Bologna
