Atalanta met Lazio in Rome after their Europa League meeting with Sporting (2:1). Lazio, playing in the Champions League, played in Scotland with Celtic a day earlier in the week and, perhaps, it was the extra day for rest that had a key impact on the result of the match. Atalanta started the match weakly and conceded two unanswered goals by the 11th minute. The team recovered only towards the end of the first half when Ederson scored one goal. Moreover, at the beginning of the second half, Bergamo equalized. 2:3 - the second defeat of Atalanta in this championship.

The team has made a strong return to Serie A. At the start of the season, the team managed to play several outstanding matches against top opponents. We are talking, of course, about the away win over Lazio (1:0), a home draw with Napoli (2:2), as well as a crushing on their field victory over Roma (4:1).

In the previous round, the Griffins were close to stopping AC Milan on their field. The score 0:0 remained until the 87th minute when Christian Pulisic scored. It is far from certain that this goal should have been counted - Pulisic may well have played with his hand. Next, Genoa, who had been perfectly balanced up to that point, went forward but failed to get back on track, although, at one point, they found themselves on the power play after the suspension of Rossoneri goalkeeper Mike Magnan. With 0:1 and Genoa, despite several very high-quality matches, occupies only 14th place in the standings, just four points away from the relegation zone.

On their home field, Atalanta has not only not lost once this season but has not conceded a single goal. Before the 0:0 draw with Juventus, Gian Piero Gasperini's team beat Polish Raków and Cagliari in Bergamo with the same score of 2:0 and beat Monza 3:0. Moreover, in the game with Juve, Atalanta had a tangible advantage in the second half and could well get three points. Given their excellent home statistics, we bet in the upcoming game on the Bergamaschi. And Genoa should not be overestimated. Alberto Gilardino's team has lost two out of four away games in this league and has never won away.
