Atalanta vs Genoa Prediction & Tips
Atalanta’s hopes of finishing in the top six have faded in recent weeks due to a four-game winless streak (1 draw, 3 losses), including an elimination in the Coppa Italia semifinals. La Dea has accumulated its fewest points at this stage of the Serie A season since 2015/16 and shows little sign of recovery, having fallen behind 2-0 within the first eight minutes of last week’s 3-2 loss to Cagliari. Although they have won only one of their last five home games (D1, L3), Atalanta fans have reason to hope for a better result here, as the team had not lost at home this season to teams in the bottom half of the table prior to this matchday (W7, D2). Additionally, manager Raffaele Palladino has won all six matches he has managed against Genoa.
Genoa can mathematically secure their place in Serie A this weekend if they match or improve upon Cremonese’s result—an opportunity they missed last matchday by losing 2-0 at home to Como. That was just their 10th loss in 25 matches under Daniele De Rossi (W9, D6), and only eight teams have earned more points since his arrival at the start of this matchday. Genoa is looking to string together two consecutive away wins in Serie A for the first time since December 2024, though that seems unlikely given they have won just once against the top eight teams in the league this season (2 draws, 11 losses).
