Betting on Atalanta
Surprisingly, Atalanta’s place within the European teams by losing their last four games, which is why it is key for them to win at home against Udinese. Atalanta, coached by Gian Piero Gasperini, hold the sixth place in the scoreboard with 41 points. They went from being qualified to the Champions League a couple of matchdays ago to only being qualified to the Conference League.
While they are still four points behind Lazio in fourth place, Juventus and Bologna are only six points off their current place in the continental competition.
The Bergamo team’s collapse is basically due to slowly losing their strong offense, which is considered the third best in Calcio with 44 goals scored, by scoring only three goals in the last four games played.
Atalanta’s good performance at home has also been sporadic in front of their fans. Despite holding the eighth place in Serie A with 17 points out of 33 possible total, they were unable to overcome Lecce in their last game, and have lost three of their last five clashes.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Juan Musso; Rafael Toloi, Berat Djimsiti, Giorgio Scalvini; Davide Zappacosta, Marten de Roon, Teun Koopmeiners, Joakim Maehle; Ademola Lookman, Rasmus Hojlund, Ederson.
Betting on Udinese
If Atalanta’s situation has called your attention, Udinese’s condition could be called one of the greatest collapses of recent Serie A seasons. After starting the season with six wins in their first eight games, the team coached by Andrea Sottil has only won once in the last 16 games six weeks ago against Sampdoria, which is at the bottom of the league.
In that 16-games span, Udinese got nine draws, and leads the Serie A scoreboard along with Empoli with 10 draws. Such performance pushed Udinese out of the top of the scoreboard, and placed them ninth with 31 points, being only 10 points behind Atalanta for a spot in the Calcio Conference League.
As the visiting team, Udinese have won only once in their last eight games, including three draws and four defeats, two of them in the last two games on the road.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Marco Silvestri; Rodrigo Becão, Jaka Bijol, Nehuén Pérez; Kingsley Ehizibue, Roberto Pereyra, Walace, Sandi Lovric, Iyenoma Udogie; Florian Thauvin, Beto.
JefeBet Prediction
When talking about a clash between teams that are having poor performances, it is always important to analyze the factors that could turn the tides of their conditions.
In this case, Atalanta’s offensive, which has been lackluster in recent matches, allowed them to score 22 goals at home, which marks the fifth highest number in the championship, and could become the key factor to get a positive outcome in the upcoming match. Meanwhile, Udinese have conceded nine goals in their last five away games, but have failed to score a goal in only five out of 24 games played this season.
Moving on to head-to-head clashes, both teams always present exhilarating goal situations, and, in the last seven matches, both teams have scored at least one goal.
Prediction: Both teams score (ATA 1 – UDI 1)
