Match Result
Atalanta and Genoa played to a goalless draw on May 2, 2026, in Serie A Matchday 35. The result proved frustrating for Atalanta, who needed a victory to maintain hopes of climbing back into European qualification positions. For Genoa, the draw secured their mathematical safety from relegation.
Atalanta's Situation
Atalanta entered the match desperate for three points after earning only one point from their previous three league fixtures. Lying seven points behind Italy's top six, they needed to win all remaining four matches while hoping Roma or Como would slip up to secure a return to European competition. Recent results, including a painful Coppa Italia penalty shootout exit to Lazio and a 3-2 home loss to Cagliari, had effectively ended their top-six hopes.
Genoa's Objectives
Genoa arrived at Bergamo with their main objective already achieved. Under head coach Daniele De Rossi, the club had transformed from facing relegation in November to sitting 11 points clear of the drop zone. The draw confirmed their mathematical safety with four rounds remaining in the season.
Team Lineups
Atalanta fielded a 3-4-1-2 formation with Carnesecchi in goal and featured Scamacca and Krstovic as strikers. Genoa set up in a 3-4-2-1 with Bijlow in goal, deploying Ekhator and Vitinha in attacking roles alongside Colombo. Both sides fielded their official starting lineups as announced before the match.
