Don’t Miss Out! Bologna Offers Great Betting Value vs Genoa

Before the start of the 2023-24 Serie A season, Bologna wasn’t among the sportsbook’s favorites to finish in the top four. Well, the Rossoblu are one victory away from finishing third and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. The best part is that their last match will be against Genoa, a team that will play for absolutely nothing, and they’re offering a +120 price to win straight up.

Genoa vs Bologna Odds and Spreads

 

Serie A Cinderella: Bologna Chasing Top-Three Finish

Inter Milan won the Serie A title again, while AC Milan will finish as the runners-up. However, Juventus is on the verge of finishing fourth or fifth, while Napoli won’t even finish in the top eight.

That’s why Bologna finishing in the top four is such a big deal, because they don’t have the money or infrastructure that those powerhouses have. Now, as expected, one of those powerhouses wants to snatch Thiago Motta, Bologna’s head coach, for next season. Yes, Juventus, I’m talking about you.

Precisely, Bologna’s last match was a 3-3 draw against Juventus, and considering they were up 3-0 with only 15 minutes left, it was an awful result. The good news is that they still depend only on themselves to finish third, which would make a huge difference in the UCL draw.

 

 

Bologna scored at least two goals in three of its last five games, so make sure to bet on the team’s total going over 1½ goals at +135 odds. Riccardo Orsolini is fighting to finish as the team’s top scorer, so you can expect him to go all-in right from the start. Joshua Zirkzee leads the way with 11 goals, but Orsolini has 10 and Zirkzee won’t be playing. Plus, Orso is highly motivated, just take a look:

Genoa vs Bologna Value Bet: Both Teams to Score

One of Bologna’s keys to success is not losing their last eight road matches. Most recently, they defeated Napoli 2-0. Yes, the Azzurri had a terrible season, but still, beating them at Diego Maradona Stadium will never be easy.

During that span, Bologna scored in six matches and kept a clean sheet in four, including the last two. Bologna owns the second-best defensive unit in the league after conceding 30 goals in 37 games. Only Inter Milan has conceded fewer goals with 20.

Genoa won its last two home games with a 5-1 aggregate, but Cagliari and Sassuolo aren’t very good. However, before that, the Grifone failed to defeat Frosinone and Monza, two teams that aren’t even in the top 10.

Summing up, make sure to include Bologna in your soccer picks, but also take both teams to score in the match at -115.
