Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Serie A match.
This game opens the 37th round. In the first match of this season between these two teams Atalanta beat Genoa 5:1. now they’re not that motivated and Genoa have a chance to win.
Genoa
Last round saw Genoa heroically getting a draw in the match versus Napoli (2:2). They use their attempts perfectly well. Genoa scored in the game versus AC Milan with 0.57 xG and scored twice against Napoli with 0.68 xG.
Atalanta
Gasperini obviously believes that attacking is the best defensive tactics. Atalanta use pressing very well, having many attempts to score. However, they let their opponents use free space in their defence too. If a goal scored by Roma is not a unique thing, the one scored by Lecce was a surprise as that side had only 28% of ball possession.
Genoa vs Atalanta Prediction
Atalanta can just enjoy playing football. We’re likely to see a bright game. Atalanta will score for sure. But Genoa will have their chance too as Atalanta’s defense is not perfect.
