Genoa Preview – Griffin’s winless run to go on?
Genoa are in the bottom three after an awful run of results. Since beating Cagliari in September, which remains their only Serie A victory of the season, the Red and Blues have lost eight and drawn seven of their following 15 matches.
Andriy Shevchenko took over in early November, but Genoa’s fortunes have yet to change. They picked up a 0-0 draw away at Udinese in late November but have gone on to lose four in a row. During the four-loss run, Genoa have scored two and shipped 11.
Genoa could really do with a positive result, as the Liguria club find themselves languishing in 18th place on just ten points. They may be at home in this one, but the bookies are offering 11/2 for a Genoa victory.
Atalanta Preview – Will La Dea return to winning ways?
Atalanta are pushing at the right end of the Serie A table after picking up 11 wins, drawing four times and suffering just three defeats so far. They are six points behind leaders Inter Milan.
Atalanta have been in stunning form of late, winning eight of their past 11 in Serie A. However, their six-game league winning run came to an abrupt end on Saturday as they lost 4-1 at home to Jose Mourinho’s Roma.
