Atalanta has been in exceptional form recently. They have faced Genoa, Venezia, and Verona and scored 13 goals in these matches. This successful streak has landed La Dea in the top five of the Serie A standings.
Atalanta’s attack is now perhaps the best in Serie A. No other team scored more than Atalanta (24 goals in nine rounds, 2.67 per match on average). Mateo Retegui has been a standout for the hosts, scoring 10 goals since joining Atalanta.
However, the Bergamaschi have some injury worries. Ederson left the match against Verona early due to an injury, making him doubtful for the upcoming fixture. Mario Pašalić is expected to take his place in the lineup, bringing quality and experience to the midfield.
Monza have found their scoring touch recently, with Alessandro Nesta’s side netting consecutively in the past three matches and scoring five goals in their last two games.
The 48-year-old coach’s appointment was met with skepticism. However, he has moved away from Monza’s strictly defensive tactics. This change in strategy had a positive effect, as Monza remained unbeaten through their three Serie A games in October, collecting five points.
Nesta is unlikely to change much in the starting lineup, though one change will be necessary. Their main central midfielder Warren Bondo was sent off in the match against Venezia and is suspended for the encounter with Atalanta – Alessandro Bianco is likely to replace him.
Bet hereBoth clubs are now performing better than at the beginning of the season. However, Monza’s resources are still very limited, and Alessandro Nesta will have to further adjust their playing style. What worked in games against lower-ranked clubs is unlikely to be successful against one of the best clubs in Serie A.
Meanwhile, Atalanta are the leaders of Serie A in terms of passing, scoring chances created and goals scored. Their last three opponents all lost with a difference of two or more goals.
We think that the hosts will continue their phenomenal performance and dominate the match from the beginning. Our prediction for this encounter would be Atalanta to win with a handicap (-1.5).
Despite their excellent form, Atalanta have also conceded a lot of goals in the current season. No team from the top ten in Serie A have conceded more goals than Atalanta (14), and Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have kept only two clean sheets in Serie A so far.
One of the main problems for Atalanta is their defensive inconsistency. The Bergamaschi have always put emphasis on the offence while the defence was never their main priority.
Monza, on the other hand, have scored in three consecutive matches. They effectively convert their chances and take advantage of their opponents’ errors. Against Atalanta, they will surely get opportunities, and therefore, our second pick is both teams to score.
