Atalanta 5-1 Genoa

Current streaks

Recent form

Atalanta

Atalanta's recent form presents a mixed picture, with their last six games showing inconsistency across different competitions. Despite their impressive 3-0 away victory against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, their Serie A performance has been less convincing, currently sitting in 12th position with 7 points from 6 games. Their goal-scoring ability remains strong, averaging 1.5 goals per game, but defensive vulnerabilities are evident with 1.67 goals conceded per game. Notably, 67% of their matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring encounters, particularly in their 3-2 win against Fiorentina and the 4-0 loss to Inter Milan. While they've managed two clean sheets, including a creditable 0-0 draw against Arsenal in the Champions League, their negative goal difference and the fact that both teams have scored in half of their games suggest a team still finding its balance between attack and defense.

Genoa

Genoa's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting in 16th position in Serie A and accumulating only 5 points from their last 6 games. The Rossoblu are currently on a three-game winless streak in the league, with their last victory coming against Monza on August 24th. Defensively, Genoa has struggled, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet in their last six matches. Their offensive output has been particularly weak, scoring just 3 goals in 6 games, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. The team's matches have generally been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their games featuring under 2.5 goals. The most notable result in this period was their recent 3-0 loss to Juventus, which stands out as the highest-scoring game and their heaviest defeat in this run of fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Atalanta

Atalanta's recent home form shows a mix of exciting, high-scoring encounters and inconsistent results. The team has been involved in several thrilling matches, with four out of their last six home games seeing over 3.5 goals scored. Notably, they've maintained an impressive average of 2.33 goals scored per game, while conceding 1.5 goals per game. Their attacking prowess is evident, with 83% of their matches going over 2.5 goals, providing plenty of entertainment for the fans. However, their defensive vulnerabilities are also apparent, as they've kept only two clean sheets in their last six home games. Despite their goal-scoring ability, Atalanta's inconsistency is reflected in their current 12th position in the league, with their home form alternating between wins and losses in their last four matches.

Genoa

Genoa's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with alternating wins and losses in their last six matches. Their performance in Serie A has been inconsistent, with a win against Monza followed by a loss to Venezia. Interestingly, their friendlies have shown more promise, including a notable 3-1 victory over Venezia and a 2-1 win against AS Monaco. The team has struggled to maintain a consistent scoring record, averaging just one goal per game, while conceding slightly more at 1.17 goals per game. Defensively, they've managed only one clean sheet in these six away games. The majority of their matches (67%) have been low-scoring affairs with under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, more defensive games on the road. Despite their current 16th position in the league, Genoa's away form shows potential for improvement if they can build on their occasional strong performances.
