Comments and predictions for Bologna vs Genoa: Ending the season in a stalemate

Latest Bologna vs Genoa squad information

Juan Miranda will miss out for Bologna due to suspension following his red card for violent conduct against Fiorentina, while Jens Odgaard and Martin Erlic (calf injury) are also doubtful.

Winger Riccardo Orsolini has scored 14 Serie A goals this season, including five decisive ones – only three players have scored more decisive goals. Orsolini will continue to be the home side’s best hope.

Genoa, on the other hand, face more injuries: Maxwel Cornet is doubtful, while Alan Matturro, Fabio Miretti, Honest Ahanor and Ruslan Malinovsky are all struggling with fitness issues.

Striker Andrea Pinamonti is Genoa's top scorer this season, but has only scored four of his 10 goals away from home.

Latest football commentary Bologna vs Genoa

After beating AC Milan in the Coppa Italia final and qualifying for the Europa League, Bologna enter the final round of Serie A this season without the pressure of finishing in the top six.

Although currently just three points behind Lazio, Vincenzo Italiano's side will not be able to move up to sixth place if Lazio win their final round and Fiorentina – who are seventh – take full points.

However, the victory over Milan has secured a Europa League spot for Bologna next season, allowing them to play comfortably in this weekend's match.

However, Bologna will still want to avoid a third consecutive defeat in Serie A, after defeats against Milan (1-3) and Fiorentina (2-3). The last time they lost three consecutive matches was in January 2022, against Cagliari, Bologna (in a make-up match), and Hellas Verona.

The Renato Dell'Ara home team also has the motivation to improve their disappointing head-to-head record with Genoa, when they have won only one of the last 11 encounters, since a 2-0 victory in February 2018 - also the rare time Bologna won two consecutive matches against Genoa.

On the contrary, Genoa fans have the right to hope as their team is on a 5-match unbeaten streak at Bologna's home ground, including two wins and two draws.

It will be interesting to see whether Patrick Vieira's side can maintain that good run of form, as their current form is worrying: having picked up just two points from their last six games (losing four), they head into the final round looking to avoid ending the season on a winless streak.

Genoa failed to score in the draw with Verona and the defeats to Lazio and Como. They also lost their advantage in narrow defeats to Milan (1-2) and Atalanta (2-3), despite leading in both games.

Having failed to win in six games, Genoa have also not won an away game since beating Empoli 2-1 on December 28. They will try to continue to prevent Bologna from taking all 3 points in their home matches.

For their part, although Bologna can still change their position on the rankings after the final round, the result of this match does not affect Genoa's ranking, because they are definitely in 13th place - four points behind Udinese and exactly four points ahead of Cagliari.
