Atalanta vs Genoa prediction 22.10.2023

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 22nd October 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC +1 / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)

Over the past seven seasons, Atalanta has emerged as a prominent team in Italy, successfully earning the Champions League spot four times. However, in the previous year, they settled for the Europa League after finishing 5th in the domestic league, narrowly missing the Champions League qualification by six points behind AC Milan. Undoubtedly, their objective this season will be to reclaim the coveted Champions League spot. At present, Atalanta sits in 6th place with 13 points, trailing four points behind the 4th place.

After a remarkable 15-year run in the Italian top-flight division, Genoa faced relegation in the 2021/22 season. Nevertheless, they swiftly bounced back, achieving a second-place finish in Serie B last season, with a mere seven-point deficit behind Frosinone, who clinched the top spot. As the new season unfolds, their primary objective is to ensure their survival, a goal they are currently achieving. With eight points from eight rounds, Il Grifone currently sits in 15th place, a comfortable four points away from the perilous danger zone.

Atalanta vs Genoa pick: Atalanta to win and cover the -1 AH spread

This season, Atalanta is performing well, triumphing in six out of ten matches across all competitions. Impressively, four of these victories were achieved with a goal difference of at least two. Particularly at Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta has displayed exceptional form, securing three wins and a draw. In the game against Juventus, Atalanta was undoubtedly the superior team and deserved a perfect home record. It is worth noting that Atalanta has yet to concede a goal at Gewiss Stadium.

Although Genoa had an impressive win against AS Roma (4:1), their overall performance in the last six games has been lacking. Unfortunately, they will be missing key players due to suspensions and injuries for their upcoming match. Without a full squad, we believe they will struggle against one of the stronger teams in the league, especially when playing on the road.

We expect Atalanta to easily win the match due to their superiority as a team, playing on their home ground, and considering the crucial players missing from Genoa’s squad. A surprising outcome would be anything other than a comfortable victory for Atalanta.
