Serie A, Friday, 24.05.2024
On the last matchday of the Italian Serie A, two teams that have been among the biggest surprises this year will clash once again.
Il Grifone meet the Veltri. The promoted team will host the team that sensationally qualified for the Champions League.
Even though there is nothing at stake in the table, my Genoa Bologna betting tip predicts a lively match with a few goals
Who would have thought that the port city team would make such a comeback after their return from Serie B to Italy’s top flight?
Under Alberto Gilardino, the team had never been in one of the three relegation places since the first matchday, when they lost 4-1 to Florence.
The weeks and months around the turn of the year in particular were an important building block for the Rossoblu to secure their relegation.
Between mid-December and early February, they remained unbeaten in eight consecutive games (3S, 5U) and even held Juventus and Inter to draws during this period
What applies to the home side certainly applies even more to the visitors. They are undoubtedly one of the biggest surprises of this Serie A year.
Thiago Motta has put together a very well-functioning squad, which is primarily based on defensive stability
With 30 goals conceded, they have the second-best defense in the league, only champions Inter have conceded fewer so far. They have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five away games.
Will it be the same this time? You can find odds of just over 2.40.
for your Genoa Bologna bet at Happybet Sportwetten.
Offensively, Il Grifone certainly have something to offer. They are the team in the bottom half of the table with the most goals (43).
In the last four games alone, they have scored at least twice three times. Triple even against AC Milan
So will the home side be able to pull one back in the last home game of the season? The bookmakers at Bet3000 are predicting odds of around 3.10 for the Genoa Bologna tip if they score at least twice.
However, the visitors should be particularly alert in the phases around the half-time whistle. The port city side scored 23 goals between the 31st and 60th minute.
At the other end, the Veltri scored ten goals in the opening quarter of an hour alone. If they score first, Tipwin Sportwetten offers odds of around 1.80.
However, whether there will be a game with lots of goals remains unclear, at least from a historical perspective.
In only four of the last 19 meetings have there been goals on both sides. Less than 1.5 goals have been scored in the Rossoblu’s last eight appearances in the port city
In my Genoa Bologna betting tip, however, I’m not expecting a game that produces fewer than two goals. In sporting terms, it is now irrelevant how the game ends.
Gilardino and Motta are therefore likely to put fewer tactical chains on their players. If both teams meet, you will find betting odds of around 1.90 with the bookies at Bet365.
Conclusion: The last game of the season could turn out to be another lively encounter. Both sides have played a good series and surprised many experts.
As usual on such matchdays, where nothing is at stake in sporting terms, there could be a surprisingly wild game with a few goals.
My Genoa Bologna betting tip is therefore: There will be over 2.5 goals!
