Genoa hosts Atalanta in round 19 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 21st at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
Genoa set an anti-record. The team has not won in six consecutive rounds under a new head coach. During this time, the Griffins managed to earn only one point, playing a goalless draw with a potential competitor, Udinese. It was recorded in Friuli and could have been added to the assets of the Griffins, but they lost all the other games. There was one more exception: Genoa beat Salernitana in the cup (1-0). But this result certainly does not compensate for the failures and especially a 1-3 defeat in the derby with Sampdoria. Yes, there were very strong opponents: Roma, Milan, Juventus, and Lazio. And the infirmary is still overcrowded. But not such results were expected from Shevchenko. Fans are already booing Andriy and demanding his resignation. But the management still supports him. It has scheduled an active transfer campaign in January. But it is already clear that Genoa will leave for the holidays in the relegation zone. There is only a chance to improve the position a little, if the Griffins do not lose on Tuesday.

Atalanta took a step back this fall. The team failed to gain its third consecutive promotion to the Champions League playoffs. Everything was decided in the rescheduled match of the 6th round when the Italians lost at home to a direct competitor, Villarreal. Well, it will be interesting to look at the Goddess in the Europa League, where an interesting company is gathering. For example, there are such clubs as Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, and Barcelona! But for now, Gasperini and his charges can focus on the fight in Serie A. And they look quite good there. During its victorious streak, Atalanta managed to win against such opponents as Napoli and Juventus. It allowed the Blue-Blacks to confidently gain a foothold in the group of leaders. Malinovskyi often appears in the lineup and regularly scores and makes assists. And Miranchuk finally recalled of himself, scoring an important goal against Verona. Now the main thing is not to relax before Christmas. But in the last game, Atalanta lost to AS Roma at home (1-4).
Atalanta had a noticeable advantage in head-to-head matches in recent history. Genoa gained two consecutive draws in 2020 and 2021. But in May, the Blue-Blacks won 3-4. Now bookmakers are confident in the victory of the visitors. Ironically, Malinovskyi must beat his former manager, Shevchenko. And Atalanta will probably win confidently.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with 1.0 handicap
