11 | Bologna | 6 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 5:7 | -2 | 8 |
18 | Genoa | 6 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 5:10 | -5 | 2 |
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.
- There are 42 precedents between Genoa vs Bologna in Serie A. Stats showing Genoa with 17 wins, 13 draws and Bologna with 12 wins. Genoa scoring 59 goal and Bologna 46 goals. As for ex-players, we have 2 ex-Bologna players playing for Genoa: Luca Rossettini and Diego Laxalt. The ex-Genoa players are three: Sebastian De Maio, Rodrigo Palacio who played 3 years for Genoa making 100 appearances at the Ferraris between 2009 and 2012, and Mattia Destro.
It is Bologna to open the score in the 73rd minute. Wow, ironically, it is the ex-Genoa player forward Rodrigo Palacio to give the led to Bologna following a fast break. Palacio defeating Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Erick Pulgar with a through ball. Palacio not celebrating the goal for respect of his ex fans.
