Atalanta will be looking to continue their impressive form when they travel to face Genoa on Sunday at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the Serie A. The host are looking to pull away from the bottom of the table, while the visiting team is desperate to secure points to revive their European qualification bid.
The Rossoblu come into this fixture having shown signs of resilience despite a demanding run of fixtures. They failed to build on their recent win against Udinese and stumbled to a 2-1 defeat at home to Inter Milan last weekend.
La Dea, meanwhile, are in good form heading into this clash, with four wins and one loss in their last five games. They were boosted by their recent UEFA Champions League win against Chelsea and sealed a 2-1 home win against Cagliari in the Serie A.

Genoa vs Atalanta prediction: Visitors to claim convincing win
Key statistics

- La Dea have won their last five games in a row against the home team.
- Three of their last five encounters have had BTTS being scored.
Correct score prediction: Genoa 1-3 Atalanta
Following Atalanta’s strong dominance in this fixture and their recent form in their last five games, a narrow away win appears the most likely outcome for this game.
The Bergamo side have traditionally posed major problems for Genoa and, despite their recent league setback, still boasts far greater attacking firepower than the hosts. The Rossoblu, meanwhile, have struggled when facing top-half opposition this season.
With Atalanta keen to reassert themselves on the league table, they should be able to claim a win in this fixture. We are predicting a comfortable 3–1 victory for the visitors.

The forward scored two goals in his last game to help his team claim a 2-1 win against Cagliari. His movement and composure in front of the goal will be vital if La Dea are to secure a crucial away victory.
