Stats for this game
Matchup Genoa VS Bologna
Small margins define the pairing
The evidence moves between home wins and hard-fought draws. Genoa won 1–0 at home in November 2010, Bologna replied 3–2 in April 2012, and the clubs then shared 0–0 results in September 2019 and January 2024. Such scorelines suggest that patience and the ability to manage a tight finish matter as much as attacking reputation.
Reversals provide the evidence
At Bologna on 24 May 2025, Genoa won 3–1. Bologna then took a 2–1 home victory on 20 September 2025, before Genoa beat Bologna 3–2 on 25 January 2026. Genoa’s official highlights identify the fixture and score, while the results show how a home response can be reversed when the clubs meet again.
A new encounter can test whether Genoa defend their home edge or Bologna recreate the away resistance seen in earlier close games. The fixture holds its appeal through that narrow space between control and reply.
