Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta will look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Lazio when they take on Genoa in the Serie A round 9. The Orobici are eyeing their third home win of the process, but they will have to showcase their quality on the field. Both Teun Koopmeiners and El Bilal Toure are out of contention with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team. Influential forward Ademola Lookman should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match.
Genoa, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Milan and with first-choice goalkeeper Josep Martinez missing Sunday’s game through suspension, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. All Milan Badelj, Kevin Strootman, Mateo Retegui, and Junior Messias remain on the sidelines with injuries.
