Football Bet of the Day: Back Bologna to beat Genoa

Thiago Motta has got Bologna going in the right direction

Bologna can get the better of Genoa in Serie A tonight, says Tobias Gourlay


Bologna v Genoa
Friday 19:45 (Live on TNT Sports 2)

In Spain yesterday, Osasuna shut down Almeria and our BTTS bet with a 1-0 win at El Sadar.

We're looking to bounce back in Italy, where the Friday night game from Serie A brings 12th-placed Genoa to fifth-placed Bologna. We think it could be a fruitless journey for the visitors.

Bologna are W7-D1-L1 at home this season. They haven't lost since a visit by AC Milan all the way back in August. Since then, only champions Napoli have taken a point away from the Dall'Ara.

Thiago Motta's men have conceded only twice across eight home appearances. They're currently on a win streak of six and a clean sheet streak of four.

Alberto Gilardino's Genoa are W2-D1-L6 on the road this season. They won recently at struggling Sassuolo to arrest a run of four straight away losses. They're eight games without a clean sheet, while scoring just six times themselves in those matches. At an odds-against price, we'll take Bologna to edge them out tonight.
