Command Analysis

Genoa

Current form
Genoa is not having the best start to the season, although they started it with a draw against Inter and beat Monza 1-0 in the next round. So far, this victory remains the only one for Alberto Gilardino team and they have not managed to rise above 18th place in the table. However, the density is too high and the Griffins are lagging behind the saving 17th place only due to additional indicators, having a chance to get out of the relegation zone today.
Disqualifications and injuries
Injured: Bani, Gollini, Vitinha, Messias, Ekuban, Badelj, Frendrup, De Winter, Malinowski.
Interesting trends for betting
- Genoa have not won in their last six matches – four defeats and two draws
- Genoa have kept a clean sheet in only one of their last eight matches
Tentative line-up : Leali - Matturro, Vogliacco, Vazquez - Zanoli, Miretti, Bohinen, Thorsby, Martin - Pinamonti, Ekhator.

Bologna

Current form
Bologna underwent a major revamp in the summer and it hardly made sense to expect any serious achievements from the Rossoblu at the start of the championship, or for the season as a whole. In seven rounds, Vincenzo Italiano team has only scored eight points and currently occupies 13th place in the table, only three points clear of the relegation zone. In the last round, Bologna drew 0-0 with Parma, extending their unbeaten streak in the championship to five matches.

1.79Tip and bets
Genoa faced serious problems at the start of the season - a huge number of injuries, lack of stability, many mistakes in defense. The situation is so serious that the management is seriously considering signing Mario Balotelli, who has been without a club since the summer. In such a situation, it will be difficult to seriously count on points in the confrontation with Bologna, which has gained form, it makes sense to give preference to the guests, today the Rossoblu look objectively stronger.
We think that the hosts have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Bologna . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on total
Bologna are not demonstrating sky-high efficiency, but today it makes sense to count on goals scored by the guests - Genoa looks terrible in defense, has a number of serious personnel problems, including in the goalkeeper position. At home, the Griffins are unlikely to give up points without a fight and will certainly strive to play aggressively in front - it makes sense to count on an exchange of goals.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on corners
Bologna, as favourites, will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but Genoa is capable of responding at home, and there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.79
