Jamie Vardy scored his first goal for the club in the 78th minute, and the lead was short-lived as Marco Brescianini brought Atalanta level six minutes later.

Genoa vs Cremonese Prediction
The Griffin are winless in their last five league matches, suffering four defeats. They conceded at least two goals in these defeats. They suffered only one defeat at home during this meeting.
Alessandro Marcandalli and Nicole Stanciu are back in the squad but are expected to start on the bench. Junior Messias was an unused substitute last week and could get some minutes here.
The Grigiorossi have scored a goal each in their last four matches in all competitions and will be looking to improve on that record. They have failed to score in five of their last seven away games in this match and have suffered six defeats.
Giuseppe Pezzella, Michel Collocolo, Faris Moumbagna and Alberto Grassi are confirmed to miss this match due to injuries. Emil Audero is fit enough to start while Antonio Sanabria and Warren Bondo are major doubts.
Given both teams’ current form and recent goalscoring record, they will likely settle for a draw.
