A perfect start to the year for I Rossoblu
Bologna suffered a shock 3-0 defeat to Udinese in their last match. Genoa have hit their best form of the season, going unbeaten in three, including draws with Inter and Juventus.
As a result, bettors can get Bologna to win at a longer price than we would have done before Christmas. Recent results might push you towards the away team getting something, but there’s sufficient value in making Bologna win one of our tips.
Bologna have won six straight at home, conceding just four in the process. Genoa have been defeated in four of their last five on the road.
Bet 1: Bologna to win @ 2.04 Bet9ja
Bologna extend solid defensive record
Only Juventus and Inter have conceded fewer goals than Bologna this term. Prior to their defeat last time out, the hosts had won consecutive matches to nil.
Just two teams have produced fewer expected goals than Genoa in 2023-24. These odds are not the longest, but the record of the two teams suggests Bologna to keep a clean sheet is a great bet. We would steer well clear of GG, even at a longer price than we’re accustomed to seeing.
Bet 2: Genoa to score exactly zero goals @ 2.06 Bet9ja
Zirkzee adds another goal
Bologna’s leading scorer with seven goals to his name this season, Joshua Zirkzee also averages the joint-most shots per match for the hosts. The Dutch forward has taken 10 shots over his last four home matches.
Having gone scoreless in his last three, Zirkzee is due to find the net. His ability to beat his man could be valuable if Genoa sit deep and try to absorb the pressure.
Bet 3: Joshua Zirkzee to score anytime @ 3.75 Bet9ja
Malinovskyi receives seventh caution of the season
It’s no secret Ruslan Malinovskyi is a perennial booking candidate. Already cautioned six times this season, Malinovskyi also received three bookings in 200 minutes during Ukraine’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
Malinovskyi had 10 bookings in just 30 appearances for Atalanta in 2021-22. He makes only 1.1 tackles per match, but still manages to commit 1.2 fouls. Clumsy and often mistiming his tackles, look for the Ukrainian’s physical brand of play to result in the seventh booking of the season.
Bet 4: Ruslan Malinovskyi to be booked
