The 2024-25 edition of Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Genoa take on Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta side in an important encounter at the Gewiss Stadium on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Atalanta vs Genoa Preview
Genoa are in 17th place in the Serie A standings and have struggled to make their mark this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 3-0 defeat at the hands of Juventus last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table and have not been at their best this season. La Dea eased past Shakhtar Donetsk by a 3-0 scoreline in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
