Genoa welcome Bologna to the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in their final Serie A game of the season on Friday (May 24). Bologna have ensured a berth in the UEFA Champions League next season and will finish at least fifth. Genoa, meanwhile, can only finish as high as 11th.
The hosts saw their unbeaten streak in the league ended after three games last week with a 1-0 loss at Roma. It was the first time they failed to score in four games.
Bologna, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten streak to nine games on Monday with a 3-3 home draw with Juventus. They squandered a three-goal lead within eight minutes in the second half.
