Genoa - Atalanta predictions

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Genoa winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to Atalanta, which is made quite clear with the 3.96 odds offered for a home win result.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Atalanta have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

When it comes to Genoa’s previous Serie A clash, the betting odds widely got it right. It was a tight game between two similar teams and an HT/FT Empoli draw clearly shows it.

Atalanta performed admirably in their previous Serie A match – though their success was not exactly a surprise. They were tagged as favourites – though not by a large margin – and played on home turf, so the odds were stacked against their opponents Lazio.

You may want to look at Atalanta as good candidates for markets like BTTS bets or Over 5 Goals. They have more than 5 goals on record from their previous 3 games alone.

Just 18 points behind the table leaders, Atalanta have lofty ambitions after the excellent early season they just had. They’ll still have to fight hard to win some points this Sunday, though, as they’re still not considered favourites.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive Atalanta victory from the previous Serie A season. Based partly on the considerable lead they secured before the end of that bout, this game’s away team are expected to win again.

Genoa’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Alan Matturro Romero, Junior Messias, Ridgeciano Haps have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.73.
