Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Atalanta, 8th position with 13 points and a positive goal difference of +5
Genoa, 15th position with 8 points and a negative goal difference of -2
Atalanta with a sprint race to climb to the top 5 positions won the Serie A Week 9 game on Sunday 22 October 2023 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy. After the defeat at the Olimpico against Lazio, Atalanta got these three points to move closer to the European zone. Visiting them is a Genoa team that has always created problems this year against the teams at the top of the table. A match that in the last two matches ended with a score of 0-0. There have been four draws in the last five matches.
In these first eight days of the championship, Genoa is the only team that has never repeated the same result in two consecutive matches: for the Ligurians two victories, two draws and four defeats, including the one against Milan in the last round .
Atalanta opened the score in the 72nd minute after the goal was validated following a VAR review. It is Ademola Lookman to defeat Genoa goalkeeper Nicola Leali from very close range with a right footed shot to the top right corner.

✅ Stats before the game: Atalanta and Genoa have drawn in four of the last five Serie A matches (one victory for the Bergamo team in the period) and in particular three of these draws came with a score of 0-0, including the two matches of the 2021/22 championship. In the last 13 Serie A matches between Atalanta and Genoa, Grifone have won only once (3-1 in Genoa on 22 December 2018, with an own goal from Tolói, goals from Zapata, Lazovic and Piatek) – in the other 12 matches in the partial, four draws and eight Nerazzurri successes. Genoa have not won in Bergamo in the top championship since 10 January 2016 (2-0 with goals from Dzemaili and Pavoletti for the team then coached by Gian Piero Gasperini): after that Ligurian success, three victories for the Dea followed by three draws. Atalanta have collected three consecutive home clean sheets in the league and have not reached four in a row at home in Serie A since March 2017 (a series of five in that case) – in general, considering all competitions, the Dea has finished four matches with a clean sheet at home, more than any other Serie A team in the 2023/24 season.
