Atalanta – Genoa

Atalanta host a struggling Genoa this weekend, with the Bergamo side perched in 11th place on six points after two wins and two defeats, their goal tally balanced at five apiece. Genoa sit second‑from‑bottom in 19th, having salvaged only a solitary point from a draw and conceding eight goals while scoring just two. The clash offers Atalanta a chance to tighten their grip on the mid‑table and widen the gap to the relegation zone, whereas Genoa will be desperate to pick up their first win and break a bleak run of three losses. Both teams know that the three points could prove decisive in the battle for European spots and survival respectively.
