Key Prediction Insights

Atalanta are favoured to take all three points at home, with a 61.0% chance of victory against Genoa’s 20.0%, and a 20.0% probability of a draw. Seventh in Serie A on 54 points, Atalanta are pushing for Europe, while 14th‑placed Genoa sit on 39 points and still need to stay clear of the relegation scrap. The model leans towards an open game, with an over 2.5 prediction at 57.0% and both teams to score rated 58.0%.

Match Analysis

Atalanta come into this with just one point from their last three games, but the results don’t fully match the performances. They lost 3-2 at Cagliari and 1-0 at home to Juventus, either side of a 1-1 draw away to Roma – a tough run of fixtures. The numbers show they remain productive: 22 shots against Juve and 12 at Cagliari underline their attacking volume, and over the last five matches they’ve averaged 1.4 goals scored from a healthy 1.942 expected goals, conceding only 1.0 per game from 0.958 xG and keeping two clean sheets. Genoa, by contrast, have steadied themselves with back‑to‑back 2-1 wins over Pisa and Sassuolo after a 2-0 home defeat to Como. They’ve shown resilience rather than dominance: in those three games they never outshot the opponent by a big margin (9-8 vs Como, 13-12 vs Pisa, 14-15 vs Sassuolo). Their five‑game averages – 0.8 goals scored, 1.0 conceded, from 1.144 xG for and 1.504 xG against – suggest they’re often second best in chance quality, even when results go their way. That underlying gap, especially away to a top‑seven side, is a key factor tilting this fixture towards Atalanta.

Under/Over 2.5 Goals Prediction

The over 2.5 prediction at 57.0% is supported by the recent scorelines. Two of Atalanta’s last three matches went over 2.5 goals (3-2 at Cagliari, 1-1 at Roma, 0-1 vs Juventus), while Genoa have been involved in one under and two over 2.5 results (0-2 vs Como, then two 2-1 wins). With Atalanta averaging 1.4 scored and 1.0 conceded, backed by nearly 2.0 xG created per game, and Genoa allowing 1.504 xG against, the data points to enough chances for the game to clear the 2.5 line rather than finish under 2.5.

Corners Prediction

Corners Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each corner count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of corners ≤ X
The corners prediction sits at an expected total of 9.77, right in line with a lively but not frantic match. Atalanta’s last three have produced 10, 13 and 15 total corners, with Gian Piero Gasperini’s side racking up 13 alone against Juventus, which matches their front‑foot, crossing-heavy style. Genoa’s games have been more modest – 5, 10 and 8 corners in total – but still show a consistent supply of set‑pieces. Taken together, the predicted corners figure suggests we should see around double figures, with Atalanta’s attacking play likely driving the bulk of them.

Shots Prediction

Shots Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each shot count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)
Probability of shots ≤ X
The shots prediction points to 26.05 expected shots in total, which matches what these sides have shown recently. Atalanta’s last three games featured 21, 27 and 29 combined attempts, underlining how frequently they turn possession into efforts on goal. Genoa’s fixtures have delivered 17, 25 and 29 total shots, with opponents often getting plenty of looks. With Atalanta’s xG at 1.942 per match and Genoa conceding 1.504 xG, the expected shots tally fits an encounter where the hosts generate a high volume and Genoa contribute enough to keep it competitive.

Goal Spread Prediction

Distribution

Goal spread probability distribution for Atalanta vs Genoa with expected spread of +0.7
Cumulative Probability (CDF)

Cumulative goal spread probability chart for Atalanta vs Genoa
The goal spread prediction has Atalanta favoured by +0.74 goals, reflecting both the 61.0% home‑win probability and the difference in underlying numbers. Over their last three, Atalanta’s goal difference is -2 (3 scored, 5 conceded), but that came against strong opposition and with performances suggesting they could have taken more. Genoa are +0 over the same period (4 scored, 4 conceded), yet their lower chance quality and higher xG conceded hint at fragility, especially away. The expected spread therefore aligns with Atalanta’s stronger attack and more solid defensive metrics.

Final Prediction

Atalanta’s superior xG profile, home advantage and greater attacking output give them a clear edge over a Genoa side that has been grinding out results despite shaky underlying numbers. The battle to watch will be Atalanta’s high‑volume attack against Genoa’s capacity to absorb pressure and stay in games; if the hosts convert their chances at anything close to recent xG levels, the prediction of a home win and goals on the board should hold.
