A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Atalanta fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Genoa's 17th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Atalanta is in the best form (4-2-0)
- Genoa has the fewest scored goals (5) away in Serie A
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Atalanta and Genoa.
Atalanta form and stats
Atalanta are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at KKWing Stadium. 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats is the summary from 8 games. Atalanta has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at KKWing Stadium. We remember; it was Hellas Verona.
The Atalanta supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Cagliari in Coppa Italia and win 3-1. Before that match, a Serie A win away at Benevento.
There will be little rest for Atalanta after this match as they are travelling to Udinese for a Serie A game in only three days.
Goals are plentiful at KKWing Stadium in the league this season as Atalanta has scored 22 goals here in 8 home games. It's worth mentioning that 12 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Atalanta have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Genoa form and stats
Genoa, who have the fewest scored goals (5) away in Serie A, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-3-4 (8 played).
Genoa lost away at Juventus (after extra-time) (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Bologna in the Serie A.
It's a bit worrying for Genoa that their goalkeeper Alberto Paleari made ten saves in the Juventus (after extra-time) game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Genoa we find three games. Results are zero Genoa wins, one draw and two defeats.
The attacking power of Genoa when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Genoa have conceded 14 goals in their away games.
