Atalanta form and stats

Atalanta have collected seven points from their first three Serie A games here at Gewiss Stadium, a promising start.

No payout for Atalanta in their previous match, an away game at Lazio that ended in defeat 2-3. The first loss after going undefeated in three league fixtures. Éderson (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.41/10. Éderson scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 49 successful passes (of 57 total).

Before that one, a fine away victory at Sporting CP. A Europa League match.

There will be little rest for Atalanta after this match as they are travelling to Sturm Graz for a Europa League game in only four days.

A decent goal production from Atalanta in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches.

Genoa form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie A travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Genoa might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Milan proved too strong as Genoa slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Attacker Guðmundsson got a player rating of 7.42 in the game. "Man of the match" Guðmundsson hit the woodwork once, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 34 successful passes (of 38 total).

A 2-2 draw at Udinese's stadium before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Genoa as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league.

Head 2 Head

Atalanta have not lost in the last 7 fixtures (3-4-0) versus Genoa.
