Seven conceded and five scored in five league matches: that is the shape of Atalanta's start, and the table softens none of it. Eleventh in Serie A with six points — two wins, three defeats, and not a single draw. No draws at all across five matches is its own kind of season. Every afternoon so far has ended with somebody miserable. Twelve goals have gone in across the five league matches and every one of them has had a winner.
The recent run, in order. Two-one at home over Sassuolo on the twenty-third of August. One-nil at home over Bologna on the thirty-first. One-two at home to Cagliari on the twelfth of September. And on the twentieth, away at Juventus Stadium, a two-nil defeat to Juventus. Two home wins to start, then the month turned.
The one cup night in the records is the third of December 2025: four-nil over Genoa in the Coppa Italia, at home. The widest win in the book and the only entry carrying the Coppa flag — a whole evening of goals in a book that has otherwise been negotiated in ones. Genoa have turned up twice in these records and Atalanta have not conceded to them either time. Four-nil and the two-nil at Lazio are the only wins in the book by more than a goal.
Behind it runs a long line of fine margins. One-one away at Juventus on the twenty-seventh of September 2025. Goalless away at Como on the first of February. Two-nil away at Lazio on the fourteenth of February. A two-one defeat away at Sassuolo on the first of March. A one-nil home defeat to Juventus on the eleventh of April. A three-two defeat away at Cagliari on the twenty-seventh of April. Goalless at home with Genoa on the second of May. Three-two away at AC Milan on the tenth of May. A one-nil home defeat to Bologna on the seventeenth. One-one away at Fiorentina on the twenty-second of May.
Eight of the fifteen matches in these records were away days, and two of them ended in wins — at Lazio in February and at AC Milan in May. The other three wins in the book all came at home: the four-nil in the cup, and the two narrow ones over Sassuolo and Bologna this August.
Juventus three times in these records and not a win among them: one-one away on the twenty-seventh of September 2025, a one-nil home defeat in April, and the two-nil at Juventus Stadium four days ago. Two defeats and a draw in the three, and one goal scored across them. It is the fixture in this book that has never once gone right. Genoa twice and no goals conceded either time: four-nil in the cup in December and goalless at home on the second of May. Fifteen matches in all, thirty-four goals in them — eighteen scored, sixteen against — and eight of the fifteen decided by a single goal.
What the table makes plain: seven conceded in five, five scored, and a zero in the drawn column. What it keeps out of its columns is the four-nil — the Coppa keeps its own books, and this table is Serie A alone.
Two home wins, three defeats, no draws, and a cup night filed under December. The arithmetic is honest, and it is early. The empty drawn column is the strangest number on the sheet.
By the numbers — Serie A: 11th · 5 played · 2-0-3 · 5-7 · 6 pts · form WWLLL (oldest → newest). The four-nil v Genoa is a Coppa Italia result and is not in this table. All data from ScoreCrowd's match records, retrieved 24 September 2026.
