Match preview
Atalanta BC come into the match on a run of two home league games undefeated. They have picked up five points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
Gli Orobici lost their last league match away to AS Roma. Expected goals of 1.7 to 1.1 in favour of Roma indicates perhaps it was a fair result.
Merih Demiral and Remo Freuler both missed big chances for Atalanta which would have given the game a very different result. Demiral’s miss from close range just before Roma took the lead being particularly impactful. The final score of the match was 1-0.
Luis Muriel scored a brace in midweek against Leverkusen in the 3-2 win and is the 1.8/1 favourite to score against Genoa CFC on Sunday.
Their opponent on Sunday, Genoa CFC, come into the match on a run of 25 league games without a win and have failed to score in each of their last two league matches. They have picked up six points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
The Griffin’s last league match, at home to Empoli, ended in a dull 0-0 draw. Expected goals of 1.3 to 0.3 in favour of Genoa indicates they probably deserved more than a point from the match.
Il Grifone have been dogged by poor finishing all season with no side underperforming their xG by a greater amount. Failing to score from an xG of 1.3 and with seven shots on target at the weekend is a microcosm their season.
Mattia Destro is Genoa’s top scorer with nine goals in Serie A this season and is 4.75/1 to score against Atalanta BC on Sunday.
