Bologna VS Genoa live preview Serie A

Bologna：

Bologna's formidable form at the Dall'Ara has played a pivotal role, as they remain unbeaten in their last nine home games, with eight victories. In Serie A this season, only Juventus has garnered more points on their home turf.This marks the beginning of a crucial week for Bologna, with their Coppa Italia quarter-final against Fiorentina looming next Tuesday. Their journey to this stage included a historic 2-1 win at San Siro just before Christmas, where they eliminated Inter Milan, the winners of the last two editions of the Coppa.However, before looking ahead to the cup clash, Bologna must first contend with Genoa, who have proven to be challenging visitors at the Dall'Ara. In the last four encounters at home, Bologna has failed to secure a victory, including suffering 2-0 and 3-0 defeats in that span.

Genoa：

Derailing the title aspirations of their opponents was a significant positive for Genoa, offering them some breathing space from the relegation zone.Securing an away victory in Reggio Emilia was of paramount importance, especially considering their struggles on the road earlier in the season. Before this win, Genoa had suffered defeats in six of their first eight away league games, managing to accumulate just four points.As Serie A's other Rossoblu, Genoa now finds themselves six points clear of relegation and maintains their status as the best-performing newly-promoted side in the ongoing campaign.This success has been grounded in defensive stability, with Genoa not conceding more than two goals in a single game since the opening day of the season.

Analysis：

Due to the increasing number of injuries in the Bologna defense, Calafiori has seamlessly filled the role of a left center-back with commendable professionalism in recent weeks and may continue to do so in the upcoming fixture.Genoa had the luxury of having a fully fit squad at their disposal for their final clash of 2023 against Inter.

Bologna possible starting lineup:

Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler, Moro, Aebischer; Orsolini, Zirkzee, Saelemaekers

Genoa possible starting lineup:

Martinez; De Winter, Dragusin, Bani; Sabelli, Frendrup, Strootman, Vasquez; Malinovskyi, Gudmundsson, Retegui
