Team Analysis
Bologna showcased an impressive performance recently, holding Juventus to a 3-3 draw, despite giving up a three-goal lead. The draw secured their spot in league's 3rd position, matching Juventus on points and head-to-head record. They manage to be ahead due to a goal difference advantage of three goals.

Bologna is gearing up to conclude their outstanding Serie A season on a positive note as they head for a match against Genoa at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris on Friday evening. A victory in Genoa might solidify Bologna's 3rd place in the league.

Meanwhile, Genoa too had a good run this season given their usual standards. The team is likely to finish the season in the 11th position. Despite their positive performance, breaking into the top half remains a challenge. Their current standing in 11th is only threatened by Monza, who are set to face-off against Juventus in Turin on the final day.

Head-to-Head
Genoa enters this match having experienced a 0-1 loss against a ten-man Roma team, but they've only endured two losses in their past nine league games. This encounter is their final home match of the season, and the team's young and motivated manager, Alberto Gilardino, would be looking to inspire his squad to finish the season on a high, cheered on by their loyal fans. Genoa has a good home record, having suffered only 5 home defeats since the season started. They also have a decent record against Bologna, having lost just one out of the past nine head-to-head matches.

Odds Analysis
Given their past performances and records, Genoa have a reasonable chance to avoid defeat on Friday, as indicated by the odds of 1.66.

Another interesting prediction is the possibility of under 2.5 goals in the match. The odds stand at the same 1.66. This prediction takes into account that 15 of the past 17 head-to-head matches between these teams resulted in fewer than three goals. Additionally, Genoa's recent game against Roma was low-scoring, as were three of Bologna’s previous four league games. This match is expected to be a tactical one with fewer goals.

Pick: Under 2.5 goals
