Genoa vs Bologna: match statistics
Bologna presents a clear advantage over Genoa regarding key statistics. The visitors possess a significantly better away record (36% wins) compared to Genoa's mere 18% win rate at home. Bologna stands out with offensive efficiency, scoring an average of 1.64 goals per away match with a shot conversion rate of 15%, while the hosts score only 0.82 goals on average in their home games. Genoa has an alarming rate of 55% of home matches without scoring a goal, which, combined with Bologna's positive goal difference away (+4), argues in favor of the visitors. Form in the last five meetings is even, but the higher table position (8th place vs 16th) and better possession control (55% vs 51%) give Bologna a real chance to secure three points. A draw remains probable due to the high percentage of shared points for both teams (36%), but Bologna's quality and efficiency tip the scales of victory in their favor.
