Genoa vs Atalanta prediction 2024-02-11
Stadio Luigi Ferraris will host Sunday’s football game between Genoa and Atalanta, the two top-table teams. Genoa have been in a fine form of late and, no doubt, they want to extend their unbeaten run to nine games. Koni De Winter serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Ankeye, Messias, Haps, and Matturro remain on the sidelines.
The Orobici, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Lazio at the weekend. Atalanta are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but beating Genoa on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Ederson Jose serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while fellow midfielder Teun Koopmeiners misses out with an ankle problem.

Statistic
Genoa
The Genoese finished the matches of the eight previous rounds with points. Yes, Alberto Gilardino's team mostly drew (five times), but what opponents they managed to stop! Neither Inter (1-1) nor Juventus (1-1) were able to beat Genoa, and Bologna (1-1) only got back at home towards the end of the game. Genoa also drew last weekend, but this time, it seems, rather, they lost points. After all, Genoa hosted the league outsider Empoli. But in the end - 0:0. However, even this draw is unlikely to upset the "griffins", given that they are currently separated from the relegation zone by a solid 11 points.
Atalanta
Apparently, the preparation of Bergamaschi for the season was built in such a way that they had to reach their peak form in winter. And they did. Since December 9, Atalanta have won 9 of 11 matches, reached the Europa League playoffs and the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, and in the national championship have scored 20 points in the last eight rounds (six wins, a draw and a loss) and returned to the Champions League zone, ahead of several strong competitors.Just before the trip to Genoa, Gian Piero Gasperini's team confidently outplayed Lazio on their home field, bringing their winning streak in all competitions to four consecutive matches. 3:1 - the Bergamaschi sent three unanswered goals into the Roman goal by the 76th minute and conceded only at the end of the match from the penalty spot. Pashalic and De Ketelare (twice) scored for Atalanta.
At home "Genoa" in this championship lost only 2 of 11 matches.
In 4 of 11 home games "Genoa" fixed "bottom".
In 5 out of 8 previous matches "Genoa" was a draw.

The Twinned Tales of Genoa and Atalanta: An Italian Soccer Odyssey
Soccer is deeply woven into the fabric of Italian life, and home to some of the most passionate fans in the world. Nationwide, two clubs stand as proud representations of this country's enduring love of the beautiful game: Genoa and Atalanta. This article delves into the rich histories of these two renowned soccer teams and their impact on Italian football.
The Roots: Genoa Cricket and Football Club
Founded in 1893, Genoa C.F.C. is known as the oldest soccer team in Italy. It’s based in Genoa, Liguria, and is often referred to as the birthplace of Italian football. The club was initiated by Englishmen, and sailed through its early years with impressive dominance, securing nine championship titles, a testament to the squad's competitive spirit and potent skillset.
Genoa's humble beginnings as a cricket and football club formed by a few Englishmen at the port of Genoa took a heightened turn when they won their first Italian Football Championship title in 1898. In the years that followed, Genoa continued to create ripples in the Italian football scene, winning title after title. In the 1930s, the team was hit by the World War's aftermath yet they recovered and continued to contribute to Italian football's landscape.
The Rise of Atalanta: The Dea ('Goddess')
Moving to the Province of Bergamo's heartland, where black and blue symbolize pride and passion, we visit Atalanta B.C. Fondly identified as 'La Dea' or 'the Goddess', Atalanta has endured a roller coaster journey, facing relegation and promotion. Established in 1907, Atalanta quickly grew to become integral to the ever-evolving narrative of Italian soccer.
Despite not having a grand start like Genoa, Atalanta's story is equally compelling. The club, lodged in the city of Bergamo, has been home to numerous football legends and has scaled considerable heights. Their famed youth academy has produced football stars such as Roberto Donadoni and Filippo Inzaghi, who have left indelible marks on both Italian and international football.
Recent Achievements: Till 2021
Over the years, both clubs have had their fair share of victories, losses, and thrilling moments. Genoa, once the dominators of Italian football, has faced uncertainty over the last few decades - fluctuating between Serie A and Serie B. However, they have managed to retain their spot in Serie A for a considerable duration.
At the same time, Atalanta rose to prominence under the coaching prowess of Gian Piero Gasperini, finishing consistently high in Serie A. They left the footballing world agog in the 2019/2020 season by reaching the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
In Conclusion: A Tale of Two Teams
The stories of Genoa and Atalanta are a testament to the ups and downs, highs and lows, and the enduring passion that characterize football's very essence. They stand as embodiments of football's tenets - persistence, resilience, and unwavering spirit. Their contribution to Italian and world football is immeasurable, and their legacy continues to inspire budding footballers all over the globe, serving as an enduring reminder of how a simple game can unify, captivate, and enchant across generations and geographies.
