Ademola Lookman opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a precise strike. Roma equalized in the 32nd minute thanks to Bryan Cristante.

⚽️Goal Prediction
Atalanta are having a season with a strong focus on attack, netting 73 goals in 36 matches, trailing only Inter (75) in this regard. Genoa, despite their more defensive approach, have recently been involved in high-scoring games. A prime example is their 2-2 away draw against Napoli in the last round, where they managed to come back twice. Notably, in 8 of the last 9 head-to-head encounters between Genoa and Atalanta at the hosts' ground, at least 3 goals were scored. Considering Atalanta's attacking prowess, Genoa's unpredictability, and historical trends, we predict over 2.5 total goals.
🚩Corner Prediction
Atalanta comfortably rank among the top five in Serie A for corners taken, averaging 5.3 per match, highlighting their active and wing-oriented style of play. Genoa, on the other hand, rank just 17th in this category, with an average of 4.1 corners per match. In the first round of the current season, the "Griffins" struggled to compete in this statistical aspect, managing only 2 corners in the game. Given the team's current form, which has notably slowed down, our editorial team predicts Genoa under 4.5 total corners.
Editor's Prediction
With no pressure and a stable position in the standings, this match could unfold in a free-flowing, attacking manner. Genoa have secured a mid-table finish, while Atalanta have locked in third place, giving the coaches the freedom to experiment with line-ups and tactics. The head-to-head history at Genoa's ground suggests a high-scoring affair: eight of the last nine encounters here have seen over 2.5 goals scored. Considering the relaxed atmosphere and the stats, betting on over 2.5 goals seems reasonable. Moreover, Atalanta have been prolific in front of goal this season.
