This promises to be another action-packed skirmish at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in the Serie A. Bologna is in 8th position and welcome Genoa in 14th spot. Read about the game here!
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 form and stats
Perfect Serie A season at home so far for Bologna 2 wins from 2 appearances.
No payout for Bologna in their previous match, an away game at Inter that ended in defeat 1-6. Bologna were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Midfield player Nicolás Domínguez got a match rating of 7.0 in that game, the max score being 10. Domínguez hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 42 successful passes (of 45 total).
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Hellas Verona.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bologna have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn five and lost zero.
Bologna has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Genoa form and stats
Genoa are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Serie A, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Genoa might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Fiorentina proved too strong as Genoa slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Midfielder Milan Badelj was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.11. Badelj hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Prior to that result Genoa won their away game at Cagliari. The scoreline was 3-2.Genoa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, four draws and three defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Hellas Verona in just four days.
Genoa have the goal stats of 3-6 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
