Bologna FC lost to Genoa CFC in the Serie A Week 38 match on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy. Bologna wraps up its championship with 62 points, securing a spot in the next Europa League due to their Coppa Italia victory. On the other hand, Genoa ends the season in thirteenth place with 43 points.
A flawless first half is sufficient for Genoa to triumph over Bologna. The hosts respond in the second half with their reliable player, Riccardo Orsolini, but it falls short. Lorenzo Venturino’s brace and Vitinha’s goal provide a fantastic finish for Vieira’s squad.
The game…
In the 18th minute, Vítinha scores for Genoa with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. Aarón Martín provides the assist with a cross after a corner given away by Nicolò Casale. Once again, Martín assists, this time from a corner, locating Vitinha, who skillfully controls the ball and finishes with a right-footed shot.

Bologna closed the gap in the 64th minute. Riccardo Orsolini found the net with a left-footed strike aimed at the upper center of the goal. The assist came from Nicolò Casale. It was a magnificent goal from the rossoblù winger, who controlled the ball with his chest before volleying it with his left foot, leaving the unsuspecting goalkeeper Daniele Sommariva with no chance.

Stats before the game:
Bologna has managed to win only one of their last 11 Serie A encounters with Genoa (D5 L5); since the 2018/19 season, they have recorded fewer victories only against Juventus (D6 L8) and Benevento (D1 L1).
Bologna has faced defeats in their last two Serie A matches, allowing a total of six goals, which is equal to the number they conceded in their previous nine matches in the league; they haven’t lost three consecutive league games since January 2022.
In 2025, Bologna has remained unbeaten at home in the league, achieving seven wins and three draws for a total of 24 points; only Roma (26 points) have performed better than the Emilians in the current calendar year.
Genoa has suffered four losses in their last five league matches (D1), matching the number of defeats they had in their previous 15 matches in the competition (W6 L5); the Ligurians could end up with just one point or fewer in their last six Serie A games of the season for the first time since 1991/92 (which would result in six defeats).
Genoa has not won any of their last 10 away league matches (D5 L5); this is their worst performance under a single coach in Serie A since the period from October 2009 to April 2010 (12 away games without a win under Gian Piero Gasperini during that time).

Player Stats:
Riccardo Orsolini has scored 14 goals in this season, including two in the last two matches; the Bologna player has already netted in three consecutive games this season (four between October and November) and could be the first Rossoblù to hit 15 goals in a single Serie A season since Marco Di Vaio in 2010/11 (19).
Aarón Martín has provided seven assists this season, with the last Genoa player to do better being Andrea Bertolacci in 2014/15 (eight); additionally, the Rossoblù player has made a winning pass in each of his last three appearances, and the last player from Liguria to achieve this for four consecutive matches was Rodrigo Palacio between May and September 2011, spanning two seasons.
Andrea Pinamonti, who scored a brace in the last match, bringing his total to 10 goals this season, could become the first Italian to exceed 10 goals in three of the last four Serie A seasons; considering all nationalities, only Lautaro Martínez, Olivier Giroud, Victor Osimhen, and Ademola Lookman have accomplished this.
