Genoa vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 09/02/2024, 11:00  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 11/02/2024 at 04:00 in Serie A Prediction

11th placed Genoa host Atlanta who are currently fourth in Serie A. The home side are 11 points above the bottom three so should have few problems avoiding the drop to Serie B. A strong end to the season could even see them in Europe as they are only seven points behind the Europa Conference League qualifying position. They have won four of their 11 home league games but aren't easy to beat. Five Serie A home games have finished level and they've only lost twice. Their last home league match saw them come from behind to beat Lecce 2-1. Genoa come into this game unbeaten in their last seven league fixtures, last losing in October. 

Atalanta may be fourth in the table but they are ten points adrift of third place. They are in the final Champions League qualifying position but mainly due to their home form. 28 of their 39 points have come on home soil. They have only won three away league mathes with half the number of goals scored on the road than at home. They do need to improve on their travels as fifth placed Roma are only a point behind them. Current form is strong with only one loss in their last four  It's four away games without a win in Serie A for Atalanta but it's been a tough fixture list. Defeats have come at Bologna and Torino who have only lost two home league games between them this season. Atalanta's most recent away Serie A fixture saw them draw 1-1 at Roma after taking a early lead. We recommend a double chance bet on Atalanta to win or draw.
