Serie A
If the cup win over Salernitana (1:0) last week encouraged coach Andriy Shevchenko, the loss at Lazio Stadium in another league game (1:3) brought him back down to earth. Although Genoa managed to score for the third consecutive game, a definite plus after a run of four scoreless appearances, their deficit to 17th place has grown as Spezia have drawn twice in the last three rounds. Of course, three points is not an uncrossable gap, but other teams are already moving much further away, and Genoa in particular show no signs of radically changing the situation. In the next match, Genoa will welcome Atalanta, who lost at home to AS Rome (1:4), but clearly dominated the match (71% of ball possession, 10:0 on corners) and if it wasn't for the disputed disallowed goal at 2:2, it could have ended differently. In any case, Atalanta had previously won six in a row in the league, which they have done in five of the last six meetings at this stadium, including the last one (4-3). In addition to the league's second-best attack (ATA 38 goals), the home side's relatively penetrative defence, which has already conceded 37 goals this season, should help the Christmas goal show.
My bet:
Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.53 (bet365)
