Atalanta vs Genoa Predictions

• Atalanta have won their last three home games in all competitions, scoring nine goals in that time.
• Genoa’s incredible winless run now stands at 25 league matches, despite a run of six successive draws.
• Genoa have only scored five goals in their last 15 Serie A outings.

Atalanta look themselves in thrilling Europa win

Atalanta’s excellent 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Europa League tie marked a third successive home win for Gian Piero Gasperini’s men, as well as a return to the Bergamo side’s old ways. Despite missing striking duo Duvan Zapata and Josip Ilicic, the exhilarating hosts racked up 18 goal attempts and 10 shots on target against a team sitting third in the Bundesliga.

Atalanta keeper Juan Musso was not forced into a single save by a team which has netted 64 league goals this term, and Atalanta should be confident of another commanding display against Genoa. The hosts have scored nine goals in three consecutive home wins, and have hit a half-century of Serie A goals this season.

Genoa, meanwhile, are about as far from Atalanta as it gets. They may have drawn six successive Serie A games under new coach Alexander Blessin, but they are now winless in 25 league games, and are rapidly heading for Serie B. Genoa have scored five goals in their last 15 league matches, and two in their last eight on the road.

Atalanta should be comfortable

Given that Genoa are averaging well below a goal per game in Serie A, Atalanta are likely to only need two strikes to beat a -1 handicap.

The hosts have scored two or more goals in each of their last nine competitive victories, and backing Gasperini’s attacking outfit to win by two goals or more looks the outstanding play here. A comfortable 3-0 win for the hosts, therefore, could be a prudent correct score bet.
