Atalanta will look to get their season back on track when they host Genoa, a side they have historically dominated in Serie A.
La Dea’s hopes of a top-six finish have taken a major hit after a four-game winless run, which also included their Coppa Italia semi-final exit.
Their recent performances have been worrying, highlighted by conceding twice inside the opening eight minutes in last week’s 3-2 defeat to Cagliari.
Home form has not offered much relief either, with just one win in their last five matches, putting them in a difficult situation.
However, there is a strong trend in their favour, with head coach Raffaele Palladino having a perfect record against Genoa, winning all six previous meetings.
Genoa, meanwhile, are close to securing their Serie A status and could confirm survival this weekend depending on other results involving Cremonese.
Their 2-0 defeat to Como last time out halted momentum, but overall, they have been solid under Daniele De Rossi.
That said, their record against stronger opposition is a concern, with just one win against current top-eight sides this season.
They face a tough task to build on their away form, with back-to-back road wins looking unlikely given those struggles.

Whispers predicts: Atalanta 3-0 Genoa
Atalanta's recent form has been patchy, but their historical dominance over the visitors—winning the last six meetings—is the primary reason for this prediction.
The need to respond after the Cagliari defeat will provide the necessary spark for an efficient performance in front of the home crowd.
The bookmakers have priced the home side as favourites at 1.57, while a draw is currently valued at 4.10, and an away victory for the visitors is considered a significant long shot at 5.75 odds.
The odds for over 2.5 goals are set at 1.80, which is a reasonable option considering both teams' recent defensive focus.
Both teams to score (yes) is valued at 1.90. Additionally, Atalanta to score two or more goals is given at 1.66 odds.
