Atalanta BC’s hopes for a top-six finish in Serie A are fading after a frustrating 0-0 draw against Genoa on May 2, 2026. With just one point from their last three league matches, the team is now seven points behind the coveted spots.
In Bergamo, the home side struggled to find their rhythm. Atalanta has not won in their last four games, and this latest result means they have earned only one point from their last three outings. Coach Raffaele Palladino must be feeling the pressure as his squad grapples with injuries and inconsistent form.
Key statistics:
- Atalanta BC has not won in their last four games.
- They earned just one point from their last three league matches.
- Genoa is now 11 points clear of the relegation zone.
- This was their first scoreless draw against Genoa in over ten years.
- Genoa has only one victory in their last 18 league games against Atalanta.
Lorenzo Bernasconi’s season-ending knee injury adds to Atalanta’s woes. The young midfielder had been pivotal in recent matches, and his absence is keenly felt. Meanwhile, Genoa—having secured their safety from relegation—played with a sense of freedom that frustrated Atalanta’s efforts to break through.
The atmosphere was tense at the Gewiss Stadium as fans hoped for a breakthrough that never came. Giacomo Raspadori and Nikola Krstovic tried to spark life into the attack but found themselves stifled by a resolute Genoa defense. The stalemate left Atalanta needing to regroup quickly if they wish to keep their European ambitions alive.
As it stands, observers expect Atalanta to face an uphill battle if they want to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League or even the Coppa Italia. With only a few matches left in the season, time is running out for them to turn things around.
