Gian Piero Gasperini’s Rossoblu have slipped down to 16th place after two consecutive defeats and have an injury crisis on their hands.

Leonardo Pavoletti continues his three-match ban, while Diego Perotti is not ready to start following an injury in training yesterday.

Blerim Dzemaili and Giovanni Marchese are also sidelined, so Goran Pandev gets a rare start with Diego Laxalt and Serge Gakpe.

Bologna, on the other hand, have found a spectacular vein of form since Roberto Donadoni took over from Delio Rossi.

That culminated in holding Roma to a 2-2 draw and ending then Serie A leaders Napoli’s 18-match unbeaten run in all competition.

Confidence is high after that 3-2 victory, though there are issues for the Coach to deal with here too.

Impressive Italy Under-21 international full-back Adam Masina is suspended with Domenico Maietta, Matteo Mancosu and Emanuele Giaccherini injured.

Mattia Destro hopes to continue his scoring run and has support from creative Franco Brienza.

Two of the last three meetings between these sides have been stalemates, while Genoa’s most recent victory was 2-0 here in January 2013.

Visiting fans will most fondly recall an epic 4-3 win at Marassi in 2010.

Genoa: Perin; Izzo, Burdisso, Ansaldi, De Maio; Rincon, Tino Costa, Tachtsidis; Laxalt, Pandev, Gakpè
Bologna: Mirante; Rossettini, Oikonomou, Gastaldello, Morleo; Taider, Diawara, Brienza; Rizzo, Destro, Mounier
