Both teams have important missings for this game. Genoa currently sit in the relegation zone but things are improving. The differnce between them and safety is only 1 point.

Coach Ballardini returned in Genoa for the 4th time in his career. He always managed to save Genoa from the relegation and also this time collected 4 points in first 3 games. They win against Spezia 1-2, stopped Lazio at home 1-1 in a game where even deserved to win and lost against Sassuolo 2-1.

For Genoa out are mostly in defense Pellegrini (10/0), Zapata (8/0), Biraschi (5/0), Goldaniga (13/0) suspended and st Pandev (12/1).

We will see again the typical 3-5-2 of Ballardini and Genoa making a very defensive game.

Bologna in other hand is coming after 5 consecutive draws. Their last win is on November against Crotone, 2 losts and then 5 draws.

Bologna suffer defensive problems as coach Mihajlovic mentioned, they are a young team without big experience.

Currently they don't risk the relegation but also the European competitions are not a goal, so a comfortable place in middle of the Serie A should be their goal.

Out are 1st gk Skorupski (10/0), gk Ravaglia (1/0), def De Silvestri (14/1), def Denswil (5/0), def M'baye (2/0), mid Medel (8/0), mid Svanberg (15/2) suspended, st Santander (4/0) and st Sansone (7/0).

Not many options left on bench for Mihajlovic because a long injury list.

This could be a closed game, maybe a draw since neither team wants to lose points. Genoa improved a lot under Ballardini while Bologna is very poor in defense.

Probable lineups:

GENOA (3-5-2): Perin; Masiello, Radovanovic, Criscito; Ghiglione, Lerager, Badelj, Behrami, Zappacosta; Destro, Shomurodov.

BOLOGNA (4-2-3-1): Da Costa; Tomiyasu, Paz, Danilo, Hickey; Schouten, Dominguez; Orsolini, Soriano, Barrow; Palacio.

两支球队在这场比赛中都有重要的球员缺席。热那亚目前位于降级区，但情况正在改善。它们和安全区之间的差异仅为1分。

教练Ballardini职业生涯第四次执教热那亚。他总是能够拯救热那亚，他在前3场比赛中带队得到4分。在对阵Spezia的比赛中2-1获胜，主场1-1的拉齐奥，1-2输给了萨索洛但他们配得上胜利。

对于热那亚来说，缺席的主要是防守端的球员，佩莱格里尼（10/0），扎帕塔（8/0），比拉斯基（5/0），戈尔达尼加（13/0）​​和前锋潘德夫（12/1）。

我们将再次看到巴拉迪尼的球队用经典的3-5-2阵容出战，稳定防守。

博洛尼亚将连续5场打平。他们的最后一场胜利是在11月对克罗托内的比赛，接着输了2场比赛，然后拿到5场平局。

正如主教练米哈伊洛维奇（Mihajlovic）所说的，博洛尼亚的防守出现了问题，他们是一支年轻的球队，没有丰富的经验。

目前他们没有降级的风险，但欧战资格也十分遥远，因此他们应该以在意甲中游的位置为目标。

第一门将Skorupski（10/0），门将Ravaglia（1/0），后卫De Silvestri（14/1），Denswil（5/0），M'baye（2/0），中场梅德尔（8） / 0），斯文贝格（15/2）停赛，前锋桑坦德（4/0）和桑松（7/0）因伤缺席。

由于伤病困扰，米哈伊洛维奇的替补席上没有太多选择。

这可能是一场非常接近的比赛，也许是平局，因为双方都不想丢分。热那亚在巴拉迪尼的带领下进步了很多，而博洛尼亚的防守却很差。

祝好运
