Atalanta vs Genoa in Serie A: Head to Head Statistics, LIVE Streaming Link, teams stats up, results, Date, Time, Watch Live
Now hitting top gear, Atalanta BC welcome improving Genoa to the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday, with the Serie A top four in touching distance after an impressive series of results.
Since the arrival of familiar face Davide Ballardini in the Grifone dugout, meanwhile, their visitors have steadied a listing ship and now aim to pull away from the dreaded drop zone.
In a scintillating start to 2021, Atalanta has won each of their last three league games by an aggregate total of 12-2.
Not only that, they have scored at least three goals in four consecutive home victories on either side of the winter break, bringing them onto 40 goals from their first 16 games – the best tally at this stage of a season in the club’s history.
Rising slowly from the ashes of a miserable start to the campaign, Genoa has already won more league matches under the returning Davide Ballardini – with two out of four so far – than under the failed leadership of Rolando Maran, who oversaw just one win in 13.
Stemming the tide of goals conceded since the experienced tactician – now enjoying his fourth turn as Grifone manager – took over in December, the change in a squad that previously looked doomed to the drop has been remarkable.
