Bologna vs Genoa predictions: Hosts to reign supreme
Key stats
- Genoa have not won an away match this year.
- Bologna are unbeaten in their last 12 home games across all competitions.
- Fewer than three goals were scored in five of the last seven meetings between these sides.
Correct score prediction: Bologna 2-0 Genoa
Genoa have no wins in their last six matches (D2, L4), failing to score in three of them. Although Bologna have had their fair share of struggles in recent weeks, they have been excellent at home, winning nine of their last 13 games at Renato Dall'Ara across all competitions.
Considering Genoa's abysmal away record in 2025, we are confident that Bologna will claim all the spoils this weekend.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Bologna are overwhelming favourites
- HOME: 1/2 (1.50) – 66.7%
- DRAW: 17/5 (4.40) – 22.7%
- AWAY: 5/1 (6.00) – 16.7%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Due to their Coppa Italia triumph, Bologna have secured a place in the UEFA Europa League next season, and with one game remaining, they have nothing left to play for.
Like their opponents, only bragging rights are at stake for Genoa, as they can neither be relegated nor secure a place in Europe.
As it stands, Genoa are 13th in Serie A ahead of their clash with eighth-placed Bologna.
On that note, Bologna are the expected winners at 1/2 (1.50). Teams with these odds generally have a 66.7% probability of winning.

We have also established that five of the last seven meetings between these teams went below the 2.5-goal line.
Keeping that in mind, under 2.5 total goals has an appealing look at 11/10 (2.10). That one has a 47.6% chance of landing.
