ATALANTA v GENOA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Genoa are firmly positioned at the bottom of Serie A after playing 13 matches this season to date. They were actually in a slightly false position due to the six points deducted from Siena at the start of the season. Genoa have lost their last six matches and even at this relatively early part of the season relegation looks a distinct opposability. Atalanta have made a solid start to the season and are currently eighth which means they are 12 places and 9 points ahead of their opponents at the weekend,. Genoa have lost five of the six away matches played this season. Matches involving these sides have produced on average marginally more than 2.5 goals per game and the average is virtually the same when only respective home and away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Atalanta won their recent match at Sampdoria but that side are on a poor run of form but even managed to have more than 50% of the ball. The pattern of play should be towards the Genoa goal and that side will have to use a limited amount of possession effectively to create any openings. Genoa have lost their last six league matches and one of those defeats was at home to Fiorentina two weeks ago. They had 48% of the possession and created fewer chances than their opponents and were beaten on the corner count. The recent evidence suggest Atalanta should control the ball and create enough chances to win the game, especially as their key midfielders contribute significantly to the goal scoring.

ATALANTA - GENOA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

On current form this has to be a home banker. Genoa are on the worst run of form for any side in the current campaign and a match at Atalanta is unlikely to see the run of defeats ending. Atalanta have won four of the six matches they have played at home this season to date and those wins came against sides that are superior to Genoa. That side have won just once away from home this season and that was before they suffered their recent dip in form. The relevant facts suggest this is a match that Atalanta can win so a home victory is the recommendation.

Back Atalanta at 1.75 with Betsson.

ATALANTA - GENOA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

With a home win anticipated the issue with regards the Asian Handicap markets is the margin of victory for Atalanta. They have scored just eight goals in six home matches which is hardly prolific but significantly they have conceded one more. Genoa have scored four goals in six matches on the road but that average is gradually falling as the season progresses. These facts point to a winning supremacy of one goal for Atalanta which means they should be backed with no handicap applied.

ATALANTA - GENOA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The relevant home and away scoring statistics suggest this could be a low scoring game. It brings together a low scoring home side and visitors whose scoring rate is well below average. One goal could be enough to win this game, especially if Atalanta scores first and a win to nil is an interesting bet. In any case the final tally of goals should not exceed two. Genoa have a relatively decent defensive record away from home which suggests they are losing matches by the narrowest of margins.

BetVictor quote 1.75 for over 2.5 goals.
