Both Bologna and Genoa will be aiming to return to winning ways in Serie A when they lock horns at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on Wednesday.
The hosts played out a 1-1 draw away to Udinese last time out, while Genoa were beaten 2-1 by Sassuolo on Sunday.
Bologna failed to end their dry spell as they claimed a second consecutive draw against Udinese last Saturday.
Argentine midfielder Rodrigo de Paul gave Udinese the lead in the 23rd minute. However, Riccardo Orsolini converted his 82nd-minute spot-kick to force a share of the spoils.
Sinisa Mihajlovic's men have now failed to taste victory in their last four outings and have picked up just one win since 20 March.
With 40 points from 35 games, Bologna are in 12th place in the league table, four points above Wednesday's visitors.
The Rossoblu's struggles this season have been down to their poor performances on the road, where they have picked up just 14 points all season. This is the league's third worst points tally on the road.
Meanwhile, Genoa suffered a second straight defeat last time out when they lost 2-1 to Sassuolo.
The Neroverdi raced to a two-goal lead thanks to Giacomo Raspadori and Domenico Berardi. Former Chelsea man Davide Zappacosta pulled one back in the 85th minute for Davide Ballardini's side.
Genoa have now dropped to 14th place in the league standings, just five points away from the drop zone.
