Serie A 2025-2026: Bologna-Genoa, the likely lineups

An all-Redblood match at the Dall’Ara, with Vincenzo Italiano’s Bologna facing Patrick Vieira’s Genoa. Two teams, the ones on the field in the match that will start at 3 p.m., that started the championship with the handbrake pulled: the Emilians have collected three points in three games, the result of the narrow success over Como on the second day, the Grifone has totaled two, with draws against Lecce and Como and the home defeat to Juventus.

Italian doubts are concentrated mainly in attack: in the Bologna coach’s 4-2-3-1 there should be Castro as the main offensive reference, with the Argentine preferred at least initially to Dallinga, while on the three-quarter line there should be room for Orsolini, Fabbian and Cambiaghi, although Odgaard is kicking to be there in turn.

As for Genoa, on the other hand, Vieira might forgo Malinovskiy, perferring him at least from 1′ Valentin Carboni, while in attack Vitinha should be preferred to Colombo, who has been dry in the first matches of this season. On the right flank Sabelli will give way, in all likelihood, to Norton-Cuffy, set back compared to the Como match.
