Bologna have taken six points from their last available nine on the road in the Italian top flight, however. Their early-season form has been patchy, but they will fancy their chances to try and frustrate the hosts.
Our Genoa vs Bologna predictions rely on the hosts failing to turn things around, which makes the Serie A odds tougher to manoeuvre. Given that Genoa have been so poor, money can be made when betting on the low-quality side of affairs.
The hosts ended last season with consecutive home league wins, dispatching of both Inter and Torino, but that form and character are nowhere to be seen after the summer.
Betfred have the best value available on a win for the away side, who have won two of their last three outings on the road in league action. Benevento and Sassuolo were the victims of those particular results for the Rossoblu.
Bologna finished last season with some terrible form on their domestic travels, but they have shown enough this time around to suggest that they can be tough to handle for a team in the doldrums like Genoa. The hosts will be feeling the pressure brought by such a terrible opening six fixtures.
The visitors, meanwhile, should not be under the same kind of spotlight. Given that the hosts’ main recent hope has been a 16-year-old striker, who made a name for himself last time out in Serie A, there shouldn’t be a huge deal to be concerned about. Clean sheets have been a positive point of the visitors’ most recent jaunts away from their own city, and that could even carry on.
Our Genoa vs Bologna bets also focus on the fact that this Saturday should see a low-scoring affair at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. The likes of Gianluca Lapadula and Goran Pandev have proven that they have goals with them at the top level, but the well-salaried pair is still to hit the back of the net for the first time this season. Pietro Pellegrini scored a brace at the age of 16 recently, but given his tender years, the teenage striker cannot be expected to produce such performances on a consistent basis.
There have been less than three goals in three of Udinese’s league last four league matches, with only Lazio managing to rattle home the goals required to go over the threshold we are backing. Given that Bologna are equally struggling to create a threat on the offensive side of things, our bet should be a likely one to come in.
Bologna haven’t scored more than one goal in a Serie A match since May last season, meaning that our Genoa vs Bologna picks of a low-scoring affair at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris looks to be a good one to back.
