Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from tonight’s Serie A match, as Genoa host Thiago Motta’s last game on the Bologna bench.
It kicks off at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, also known as Marassi, at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).
The Grifone are comfortably mid-table and Bologna can still beat Juventus and Atalanta to third place in Serie A this season.
Thiago Motta leaves Bologna with a defeat, as Genoa were simply more motivated and fired up this evening with Ruslan Malinovskyi and Vitinha goals https://t.co/mfwa05ACK5 #GenoaBologna #SerieA #Calcio #SerieATIM

Ruslan Malinovskyi and Vitinha goals prove decisive.
Gudmundsson free kick only hits the side-netting, half the crowd thought it was in.
Oh that should’ve been 3-0!
Ekuban burst down the left, shot parried by Bagnolini into the path of Gudmundsson, who somehow fired the rebound over!
Into 4 minutes of stoppages.
A pair of Lykogiannis crosses into the box cause problems, but Maturro first and then Sommariva get it under control.
Gudmundsson floats a ball to the back post for Spence, but Karlsson does very well to intercept and chest back to his goalkeeper.

Ekuban and Maturro on, Cittadini and Vitinha off for Genoa.
Bologna corner, Lucumi and Cittadini are both down, looks like Leali crashed into Lucumi during the clearance and they collided with each other.
Karlsson on, Saelemaekers off.
Castro booked for slamming the ball into the ground in anger.
Spence and Strootman on for Genoa, Sabelli and Malinovskyi off
Odgaard and Urbanski on, Orsolini and Fabbian off for Bologna.
Bologna a bit loose with their midfield passing, they lose the ball, smart Gudmundsson pass sends Vitinha down the right and this time he picks the right finish with a delicate dink over the on-rushing goalkeeper.
Gudmundsson free kick easy for Ravaglia.
El Azzouzi booked for the sliding tackle on Gudmundsson and then told off for rather obviously protesting the decision.
Aaron Martin holding his face, claims he was elbowed, but doesn’t seem to be any VAR evidence.
First shot on target, Fabbian hit it hard and low from the edge of the area, but well smothered.
Lykogiannis strike charged down, then Fabbian on the rebound drills not far wide at all!
No changes.
Thorsby header goes wide from the Gudmundsson free kick.
