Bologna will host Genoa at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, with three points on the line in Serie A on Tuesday. The home side come into the game on the back of a 6-1 thrashing away to Inter Milan on Saturday, as Edin Dzeko stepped off the bench to score a brace in the rout.
Genoa suffered a 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina on home turf on the same day. Riccardo Saponara and Giacomo Bonaventura scored second-half goals to guide the Florence outfit to all three points.
That defeat left I Rossoblù in 14th place, with three points garnered from four matches. Bologna are eighth spot and have gathered seven points from the same number of games.

Bologna vs Genoa Prediction
Genoa might have started the season poorly but their expansive style of play has seen them create plenty of goalscoring opportunities.
The hosts are slight favorites but will be wary of the threat posed by their opponents. The two sides like to play on the front foot, so we could see goals scored at both ends.
That said, we are backing the home side to record a marginal victory.
Prediction: Bologna 3-2 Genoa
