This is a time to react for Genoa and attempt to win the home game at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Genoa already in deep trouble being down in the relegation zone in the 18th position with only 2 points compared to Bologna in the 11th position with 8 points. Simply put, Genoa needs to win the match or we might say Coach Ivan Juric risk to be sacked. Bologna also needs to win this away game to climb the Serie A Table being now -10 points below Juventus and Napoli both with 18 points.
