In their latest match, Genoa lost 0-3 to Juventus at home, extending their winless streak across all competitions to five games.

Norton-Cuffy, Messias, Ekuban, Badelj, Friendrup, and Malinovskyi are currently sidelined due to injuries.

2.05Tip and bets
Atalanta exerted significant effort in their Champions League match against Shakhtar, and with a severe shortage of players, making quality rotations is nearly impossible. Genoa will likely aim to exploit the opponents' fatigue, as their motivation after a derby loss and five matches without a win will be high. It will be almost impossible to keep a clean sheet against the Goddess. Atalanta also desperately needs points, making a goal exchange highly likely.
We anticipate goals in this match. Our prediction is both teams to score. This bet is offered with odds of 1.95.
Outcome Bet
Atalanta is facing significant player absences that hinder their performance across multiple tournaments. Nonetheless, their position in the standings compels the Goddess to push their limits, and today the hosts will undoubtedly be aiming for victory. Genoa has been performing poorly lately, making it reasonable to favor the hosts.
