Bologna vs. Genoa: win to get back on track

Bologna have three points, one more than Genoa. Both are aiming for a win to kickstart their campaigns

Bologna and Genoa face off at the Dall’Ara in the match that kicks off Saturday’s action on matchday 4 in Serie A. Despite defeats to Roma and AC Milan last time out (with a win against Como in between), Bologna are a point better off than they were at the same stage last season but want to quickly start picking up wins after a complicated start, made even tougher by a challenging schedule. Genoa, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win and will be aiming to take home all three points.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 58 official previous meetings between the two teams in Emilia, with a record of 27 Bologna victories, 21 draws, and 10 Genoa successes. In the last 6 matches in Bologna, the Grifone are undefeated, with 3 wins and 3 draws. In these games, the ligurian rossoblù have always scored, for a total of 12 goals (an average of 2 goals per match).

DID YOU KNOW?

Bologna's last victory over Genoa at the Dall'Ara stadium dates back to February 2018, a 2-0 win with goals from Destro and Falletti.

COACHES and PLAYERS

Vincenzo Italiano played for Genoa from February to June 2005, making 9 official appearances without scoring. In the 2024/25 Serie A season, Riccardo Orsolini scored against Genoa in both the first leg at Marassi (a 2-2 draw) and the return leg in Bologna (a 1-3 victory for the Ligurian side). Riccardo Orsolini has reached double figures in goals for three consecutive Serie A seasons: he scored 11 goals in the 2022/23 tournament, 10 in the 2023/24 season, and 15 last year. Lorenzo Venturino, a Genoa forward born in 2006, scored a brace in Bologna on the final day of the 2024/25 Serie A season. These were his first goals in the top flight, making him one of the three youngest players to score at least two goals in Europe's top five leagues in the 2024/25 season, a podium that also includes Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) and George Ilenikhena (Monaco).
