In the previous seven seasons, Atalanta became one of the better teams in Italy, securing the Champions League on four occasions. Last year, they "only" secured the Europa League by finishing 5th in the domestic league, six points away from 4th-placed AC Milan and the Champions League spot. Their goal will surely be to try to secure the Champions League again this season. Currently, La Dea are in 6th place with 13 points, four away from the 4th place.
Genoa were relegated from the Italian top-flight division in the 2021/22 season after 15 consecutive seasons. However, they secured an instant return last season, finishing 2nd in Serie B, seven points behind the 1st-placed Frosinone. The primary goal for this season will be just to secure survival, and for now, they are succeeding in it. After eight rounds, Il Grifone are 15th with eight points - four away from the danger zone.
Atalanta vs Genoa pick: Atalanta to win and cover the -1 AH spread
Atalanta are doing fine this season, winning six of ten games in all competitions, with four of those six wins coming by at least two goal difference. At Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta have been exceptional, with three wins and a draw. That draw came against Juventus in a match where Atalanta were definitely a better team and deserved to have a 100% win rate at home. Additionally, at Gewiss Stadium, Atalanta still haven't allowed a goal!
Genoa won just once in the last six games. Yes, it was an impressive one (4:1 vs AS Roma), but that is only one game. For this match, they will miss key players due to suspensions and injuries, and without a full squad, we do not think they have a chance on the road against one of the better teams in the league.
Atalanta are, simply, a better team, and with a home pitch advantage and key absences in Genoa's squad, anything but a comfortable win for Atalanta would be a surprise for us.

Atalanta team news
The team's captain, Rafael Toloi, suffered an injury in the Europa League game vs Sporting and missed the previous Serie A game vs Lazio. Still, according to Italian media, the injury is not too serious, and the 33-year-old defender could be back on the field soon. For now, he is questionable for the upcoming game.
A key midfielder, Teun Koopmeiners, had to leave the Netherlands squad due to injury and will most likely miss the upcoming game(s). With him potentially out, we might see Mario Pasalic in the starting eleven.
Besides those two, El Bilal Toure, who arrived over the Summer, will remain sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Genoa team news
First goalkeeper Josep Martinez received a red card in the previous game vs AC Milan and will be unavailable for the upcoming game. With him out, we will most likely see Daniele Sommariva, who has very little experience in Serie A.
A key striker, Mateo Reteugi, will miss the game with knee problems. His absence will surely be a massive problem for Genoa. A backup option upfront, Junior Messias should also miss the game due to injury.
Two more important players, midfielders Kevin Strootman and Milan Badelj, should miss the game with injuries.
