On Friday night, Bologna and Genoa clash at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara as the home team looks to continue their push for a European spot in Serie A.

Bologna

The Rossoblu have been one of the surprise packages of the Serie A season so far, as they currently sit in fifth place, just two points adrift of fourth-place Fiorentina in the fight for the Champions League spots.

The home team was slightly brought back to earth last time out in Serie A, as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at Udinese.

The loss not only ended a three-game winning run in the Italian top flight but also a five-match unbeaten streak in the league.

Bologna have built their campaign on solid home form in Serie A, as they are unbeaten in eight games, having recorded seven victories and a draw.

Thiago Motta’s team has also kept four straight clean sheets on home soil in Serie A.

Genoa

The visitors are in 13th place in the Italian top-flight table, six points clear of the relegation zone and nine adrift of the European spots.

The Grifone have been inconsistent of late in Serie A. They have won just once in six league outings but are unbeaten in three league games after a highly creditable 1-1 home draw with Inter last time out.

The game against the league leaders was another low-scoring game for Genoa, as four of their last five Serie A matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Genoa’s recent away record is a poor one, as they have won just once in eight matches on their league travels. However, they are unbeaten in their previous three away matches in Serie A.

What does Forebet predict?
