Genoa guests at Bologna’s celebration

Mission complete! Bologna and Genoa will meet on the final matchday of Serie A Enilive having both achieved their respective objectives. The home side, who have qualified for next season’s Europa League, will celebrate their Coppa Italia Frecciarossa triumph in front of their supporters. Genoa, meanwhile, are aiming to finish a difficult but ultimately positive season on a high.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Bologna have won just one of their last 11 Serie A games against Genoa (D5 L5); since the 2018/19 season, the Emilians have only achieved fewer top-flight wins against Juventus (D6 L8) and Benevento (D1 L1). Bologna have not won at home against Genoa in the top-flight since February 2018, having won just three points and suffered two defeats in the five matches since; the Emilian team only currently have a longer winless streak at home in Serie A only against Napoli (6) and Juventus (22).

DID YOU KNOW?

Only Roma (26) have won more Serie A points at home in 2025 than Bologna (24), who remain unbeaten in the league on home turf this calendar year (W7 D3). Genoa have failed to win any of their last 10 away league games (D5 L5); October 2009-April 2010 was the last time the Ligurians went on a longer winless run on the road under the guidance of a single coach in Serie A (12 away games without a win under Gian Piero Gasperini). Genoa are the team that have scored the fewest goals from outside the box in Serie A this season with their sole goal from distance coming against Bologna in the reverse fixture through Andrea Pinamonti.

PLAYERS

Riccardo Orsolini has scored 14 goals in Serie A this season, two of which have come in the last two games; the Bologna player has already scored in three games in a row this season (four between October and November) and could be the first rossoblù player to reach 15 goals in a single Serie A season since Marco Di Vaio in 2010/11 (19). Aarón Martín has provided seven assists in Serie A this season and the last Genoa player to record more in a campaign was Andrea Bertolacci in 2014/15 (eight); he has provided an assist in each of his last three appearances and the last rossoblù player to do so in four Serie A appearances in a row was Rodrigo Palacio between May and September 2011. Andrea Pinamonti, who scored a brace last time out to reach 10 Serie A goals for the season, could become the only Italian to surpass 10 goals in three of the last four Serie A seasons; considering all nationalities, only Lautaro Martínez, Olivier Giroud, Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman have managed to do so.
