In a surprising turn of events in the Italian Serie A, Genoa defeated Bologna 3-1 at the Renato Dall'Ara. The AI had predicted a Bologna victory with a 57.3% probability, but Genoa defied expectations with a strong performance. Genoa's Vitinha opened the scoring in the 17th minute, followed by two goals from Lorenzo Venturino in the 26th and 43rd minutes, giving Genoa a commanding lead. Bologna's Riccardo Orsolini managed to pull one back in the 64th minute, but it wasn't enough to spark a comeback.
Despite Bologna dominating possession with 60.2% and taking more shots (16 vs 5), Genoa proved more clinical, converting three of their five shots into goals. Bologna struggled to find the target, only managing 5 shots on target, saved 4 times by the Genoa goalkeeper. Bologna's disciplinary issues were also apparent, committing 13 fouls and receiving 5 yellow cards, compared to Genoa's 23 fouls and 2 yellow cards.
This victory breaks Genoa's recent losing streak, as they had suffered four losses in their previous five matches, and one draw, while Bologna, after a recent Coppa Italia win against AC Milan, shows inconsistent performance. Considering Bologna's previous Serie A matches, where they struggled to secure wins, including a loss to Fiorentina and AC Milan and draws against Juventus and Udinese, this defeat highlights their current form slump. Genoa's win against Bologna indicates a potential shift in their form. The pre-game AI prediction of a Bologna win clearly failed to account for Genoa's tactical execution and clinical finishing. Historically, head-to-head matches between these two have been closely contested, with a mix of draws and narrow victories for both sides, making Genoa's comprehensive win even more unexpected. The result impacts both team's morale heading into their future games and demonstrates the unpredictability of football, even with advanced AI analysis. Bologna will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities and improve their finishing if they want to achieve better results in their upcoming matches, while Genoa will be looking to build on this momentum.

On May 24, 2025, Bologna will face Genoa at the Renato Dall'Ara in a highly anticipated Italian Serie A clash. AI is predicting a victory for Bologna, giving them a 57.3% win probability compared to Genoa's 19.1%. Bologna's recent form has been inconsistent, but their star forward, Riccardo Orsolini, will be key to unlocking Genoa's defense. Genoa, on the other hand, will rely on the midfield maestro, Morten Frendrup, to control the tempo of the game. Although Genoa's recent form is poor with many defeats, they will fight hard for points. The draw probability stands at 23.6%, suggesting a potentially tight contest. Bologna will hope that home advantage will play a key role.
