Genoa-Bologna is a match of the thirty-eighth matchday of Serie A and will be played on Friday at 8.45pm: probable lineups, predictions, live TV and streaming.
There isn’t much at stake in the “Ferraris” match Genoa and Bologna, two teams that can only try to improve their current position. The Ligurians were never really involved in the fight for salvation, which arrived months in advance. Eleventh place – to be defended from a possible attack by Monza – certifies Alberto’s excellent work Gilardinocapable of leading a newly promoted player to safety without any problems.
What surprised most about this Genoa team, in addition to their impeccable game organisation, is the character they showed in every match, both against their direct competitors and against the big teams. The rossoblù, led by the Icelandic Gudmundsson (14 goals in the championship), kept the attention threshold high even in the last period, with salvation already achieved. Last Sunday, despite suffering their first defeat after three matches (1-0 at the Olimpico against Roma), they gave the Giallorossi a hard time and they had done the same two weeks earlier at San Siro against Milan (3-3). For the Bolognahowever, this season has already ended straight among the best of every era, with the men of Thiago Motta who even qualified for the next Champions League, surprisingly finishing in the top four. However, in last Monday’s postponement at the “Dall’Ara” the Emilians failed to overtake Juventus, being caught again in the last 10 minutes after going ahead by three goals (3-3). The possibility of finishing in third place, however, is still intact but in addition to beating Genoa, we will also have to pay attention to Atalanta, at -2 and with a match in hand.
Genoa-Bologna: the latest news on the lineups
For the last match of the championship, Gilardino finds some players who have been absent for some time due to injury: Malinovskyi, Vitinha and Bani could play a few minutes in the second half. Hopes also for Messias, who was also held back by injuries in the last period. The tandem is back in front Gudmundsson-Retegui.
He can’t do it Zirkzee in Bologna: the Dutch center forward, surprisingly excluded from the squad for the European Championship, also remains out for the match at Marassi. It will be up to him again to take his place Odgaard. In goal Motta could offer an alternative to Skorupski and Ravaglia.

The prediction
Finishing in third place would mean pocketing around 2 and a half million more, a figure that can be very convenient for Bologna. We therefore believe that the Bolognese have greater motivations and are slightly favourites, even if Genoa does not seem to have any intention of giving gifts: both should hit the mark.
