  • Genoa have the fewest scored goals (15) away in Serie A

It's no vacation for neither Bologna nor Genoa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Bologna are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Genoa are struggling to avoid relegation.

Genoa form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Genoa, who have the fewest scored goals (15) away in Serie A, so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 3-5-9 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Genoa's last three away games as they have all been lost.

A 3-4 defeat away at Lazio before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Atalanta in just three days.

The attacking power of Genoa when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 17 league matches away. Genoa have conceded 28 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Genoa - Bologna 2-0 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Bologna won three games, three matches ended with a draw and Genoa has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / nine
