Next season could have as many as SIX Italian teams in the Champions League next season, including Bologna, who have already qualified for the competition for the first time in their history.
Thiago Motta has worked miracles to guide Bologna to a top-four finish, but it seems like the club will struggle to keep hold of their talented coach, who might be away to Juve.
As for Genoa, their position in a bottom-half finish is confirmed.
Current Form
Genoa current form
Genoa's recent form has been up and down which is a microcosm of their season as a whole.
In their last five games, they have won two versus Cagliari and Sassuolo, drawn against Milan and lost against Lazio and Roma.
At this point of the campaign, they have conceded more goals than they have scored and are currently positioned in 11th.
Bologna current form
Bologna's assault on the top four has been the story of the season in Serie A and they have secured Champions League football thanks to a run of nine games without defeat.
In those nine games, they won four matches against Empoli, Salernitana, Roma and Napoli.
The platform for Bologna's success has arguably been their defence, as they have the second-best defensive record in Serie A in 2023.24.
