Atalanta - Genoa betting tips and odds

Atalanta are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.35, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

Genoa are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Atalanta.

The hosts will be looking to get back to the winning path as they prepare for their Sunday fixture. The previous Serie A match ended up being a disappointment in which Atalanta suffered a narrow Roma loss after going down at the half and never managing to recover.

Genoa’s previous Serie A match ended with a home draw against Empoli. The 0:0 outcome was better for Genoa than for their opponents, but fans are hoping for more decisive results in round 29.

The fact that they’re playing at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia is a boost to Atalanta. They’ve thrived in their recent home games, managing to score more than 5 times over the previous

Genoa fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

The end of the season is rapidly approaching, so the top Serie A placements are highly contested. Atalanta are quite high up the table at 5th, and they’re likely to further cement that position in this matchup.

Genoa’s chances of staying in the Serie A for another season seem less likely with each passing round. They still have some breathing room to get out of the relegation zone, but the games they’re yet to play are quite challenging. They’ll be fighting against the odds this Sunday, for instance.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Genoa this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 2.12 odds offered by Unibet.
