Bologna vs Genoa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-09-19 13:00.

[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]For the third match running (W1, L2) Bologna produced a 1-0 scoreline, in a loss to AC Milan last weekend. With an xG of 0.17, the RossoblĂą failed to show enough threat in the final third, typified by their measly total of one league goal this campaign. It is not all doom and gloom though, as the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara has been a near-fortress for Bologna, with Vincenzo Italiano’s men losing just once at home in 2025 in Serie A (W8, D3) which includes a matchday two victory over Como. Another three points here would be a morale booster ahead of their UEFA Europa League opener against Aston Villa next week.[/p]
[p]Genoa are the only team to have beaten Bologna in Serie A this calendar year, winning 3-1 in May, and the visitors will be motivated to replicate that result after rescuing a point in a 1-1 draw against Como on Monday thanks to Caleb Ekuban’s stoppage-time equaliser. It was also their first goal of the campaign (D2, L1) and the visitors will hope to build some momentum ahead of stern tests against Lazio and Napoli in the next two league games. The Grifone have at least been a tough team to crack on the road, losing just once in their last five Serie A away games (W1, D3).[/p]

[p]Last season’s H2H win at this venue continued Genoa’s fine recent record at Bologna, as they’re now unbeaten in their last six trips to the the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara (W3, D3).  [/p]
