Recommended bets
Il Grifone have been good at home recently and have picked up 11 points from their last six Serie A home matches here at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. However, with nothing to play for now and relegation confirmed, their performance levels may drop here. With Bologna also having little to play for, we think this produces a stalemate. Therefore, 101 Great Goals' prediction for this match is Genoa CFC 1-1 Bologna FC and is available at odds of 6.5/1.
Alternatively, you can bet on any Genoa win at 2.3/1 against I Veltri at home on Saturday.
Or, back any away win for Bologna at 2.87/1 here at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
You can find odds of 3.5/1 for any draw between Genoa and Bologna on Saturday.

Match Preview
The Griffin welcome Bologna FC to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday for this Serie A match. Genoa’s defeat last weekend confirmed their relegation to Serie B for the first time in 15 years. Bologna could climb a place into 12th with a win here coupled with Udinese failing to do so away to Salernitana.
Genoa CFC come into the match on a run of two home wins in a row. They have picked up six points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
I Rossoblu lost their last league match away to SSC Napoli. Expected goals of 2.3 to 1.0 in favour of Napoli indicates perhaps it was a fair result. Manolo Portanova will look back on his missed chance at 1-0 as the pivotal moment in the match. Had he scored perhaps Genoa could have built on that and got something from the match. The final score of the match was 3-0.
Their opponent on Saturday, Bologna FC, come into the match on a run of nine away league games without a win. They have picked up six points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
The Greyhounds lost their last league match at home to Sassuolo Calcio. Expected goals of 2.6 to 1.6 in favour of Sassuolo indicates perhaps it was a fair result. I Veltri were awarded an injury time penalty which Riccardo Orsolini stepped up to convert for his side perhaps making the game appear closer than it actually was. Orsolini now has six league goals this season for Bologna and is 3.8/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-3.

Genoa CFC team news
Milan Badelj and Silvan Hefti were both withdrawn due to injury at the weekend. While the extent of the injuries are not yet known, the pair will likely be replaced in the starting line-up by Morten Frendrup and Hernani. Riccardo Calafiori, Roberto Piccoli (thigh), Nikola Maksimovic, Stefano Sturaro (tendonitis), Lennart Czyborra (knee problems), Aleksander Buksa, and Zinho Vanheusden (knee problems) are also doubts for The Griffin due to injury on Saturday. Genoa CFC may also look to make a few unforced changes to the side who lost against SSC Napoli in their last league match.
Bologna FC team news
Arthur Theate only made it to halftime before being replaced after a disappointing first half. He would be the most likely to lose his place with Musa Barrow potentially replacing him from the start. Micheal Kingsley is also a doubt with an ankle injury for the trip to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Bologna FC may look to also shuffle their deck voluntarily having lost against Sassuolo Calcio in their last league match.
