It is still a different competition, which should not be underestimated either. It consists of two legs, but still in this Coppa Italia games can end with different results than they would usually do. All teams realize that this is the quickest way to win a trophy and to also qualify for the Europa League, which is quite huge and makes it particularly compelling for weaker clubs in the table to put everything into these Coppa Italia games. Different competition, different psychological rules.
Bologna are in good form but it will be difficult for them to win against Genoa. Let's not forget that this Genoa team managed to steal 1 point from one of the strongest teams in Serie A, Inter Milan, in their last match. Genoa players played very well against Inter Milan. And now they are more confident. So genoa will definitely try to get points against Bologna. Bologna's main strength is their defense. If genoa can somehow break this defense then they have a chance to get the points. However, the match is unlikely to be a goalless draw.We all considered the Bologna team as favourites. However, the Genoa players played very well. They were able to break the strong defense of Bologna. Albert Gudmundsson's goal in the 20th minute of the match led genoa. Since Genoa managed to score the first goal of the match, it will be very difficult for Bologna to win this match. Genoa's players are playing full defensive after scoring. I don't see any attempt in them to increase the goal difference by attacking. After equalizing the match against Inter Milan too, Genona played a poor defensive game and managed to draw the match.
After 40 minutes, Bologna's players had 63% of the ball and had made 6 shots. But they are not able to break Genoa's defense. At the moment I think Genoa's chances of winning or the match will be a draw. Bologna probably won't get 3 points from this match.
