- Goal-Scoring Drought Continues: Genoa have failed to score in four of their last six away Serie A matches, highlighting their ongoing problems in the final third.
Best Bet for Bologna vs Genoa
Nashville to Win & Over 2.5 Goals | |
2/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning With DC United leaking goals and missing their key striker, and Nashville firing on all cylinders, backing the visitors to win with a healthy goal count looks like the smartest play available. |
The season’s curtain falls in Emilia-Romagna, but Bologna are already celebrating behind it. With their Coppa Italia triumph against AC Milan guaranteeing Europa League football next season, Saturday’s encounter against Genoa at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara isn’t about league positioning anymore—it’s about pride, momentum, and a touch of ceremony. For Vincenzo Italiano and his players, the job is essentially done. Yet, there’s something to be said for finishing on a high note in front of your supporters. After all, nobody wants to end with three defeats in a row, especially not when you’re trying to show you’re more than just a cup side.
Genoa, meanwhile, come into this with not much more than their dignity on the line. Locked into 13th place regardless of what happens this weekend, the Grifone are a team limping toward the finish line, with just two points from their last six matches. Their attack looks blunt, their defence unreliable, and their away form… well, let’s just say it resembles a broken compass—no direction and not much hope of finding any. The only silver lining? They’ve got a recent record in Bologna that actually isn’t too shabby. But recent and relevant are two very different things.

Best Bet for Bologna vs Genoa: Bologna to Win & Under 2.5 Goals
At BettingTips4You.com, we don’t hand out a shopping list of bets. We take the time to evaluate every detail, every lineup change, every underlying pattern. That’s why we always offer just one prediction per match—our most confident and carefully considered choice. For this clash, the Best Bet is: Bologna to win and under 2.5 total goals in the game.
The reasoning behind this isn’t flashy—it’s solid, straightforward, and rooted in the facts that matter. Bologna, despite back-to-back losses, are a formidable side at home. They’ve conceded just 15 goals in 18 home matches—less than a goal per game. That’s not a coincidence, that’s structure. Italiano has built a side that defends with discipline, even if the attack sometimes takes a coffee break.
On the other side of the pitch, you’ve got a Genoa team that hasn’t won away from home in months. Their last away success came in December, and since then they’ve either stumbled or collapsed, often in very predictable fashion. They’ve only scored 13 goals on the road all season—that’s less than one every other game. Andrea Pinamonti may lead their scoring chart, but only four of his strikes have come away from home, and even those have been more like surprise cameos than leading roles.
This match has all the signs of a methodical Bologna performance. No need for swashbuckling football—just enough to assert control, find the net once or twice, and lock things down. And with Riccardo Orsolini hunting a final-day flourish to cement his place among the league’s most decisive players, the odds tilt even further in the hosts’ favour.
As BettingTips4You.com expert Luca Pratesi puts it:
18+. Play Safe. From 00:01 on 18.10.2022. £30 bonus. New customers only. Minimum £10 stake on odds of 1/2 (1.5) or greater on sportsbook (excluding Virtual markets). Further terms apply. #Ad. 18+Only, gambleaware.org |
“This game screams controlled dominance—Bologna don’t need fireworks to win, and Genoa can’t light a match. Expect a tidy, low-scoring home win.”
Likely Scoreline: Bologna 2-0 Genoa
It’s not exactly the type of match that will get neutrals rushing to the TV, but for Bologna fans, a 2-0 home victory would be the perfect closing note. Clean sheet, a couple of neat finishes, and a toast to European football next season. For Genoa? Just another long road trip to forget.onsistent backline, it’s hard not to see goals from both sides. A 2-2 after regulation seems about right—enough to stir the crowd and keep heart rates dangerously high. There may be a winner eventually, but it might take longer than 90 minutes to find them.
