The action continues in round four of the Italian Serie A as Bologna play host to Genoa on Saturday. Genoa are unbeaten in their last six visits to the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium and will be looking to extend this impressive six-year streak.
Bologna were denied successive wins for the first time in the new Serie A campaign as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium.
Vincenzo Italiano’s side have lost two of their opening three matches, with a 1-0 home victory over Como on August 30 sandwiched between the two defeats.
Next up for Bologna is the stern challenge of an opposing side who are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 encounters, claiming six wins and five draws since September 2018.
