Monza vs Atalanta Prediction & Match Preview

Monza vs Atalanta Match Preview

Monza and Atalanta will close Sunday’s Serie A schedule in an exciting Matchday No 33 fixture at U-Power Stadium. Monza held Champions League hopefuls Bologna to a goalless draw last weekend while Atalanta go into the tie after a 2-2 stalemate to Verona on Monday.

• Atalanta go into this on the back of six wins, one draw, and one loss in eight head-to-head matches against Monza.
• Monza took just one point from the last three league affairs.
• Five of the last six matches Atalanta played on the road in Serie A saw three or more goals scored.

A win here could move Monza to the top half of the league table. They sit 11th in the league standings after managing just one point in the previous three league fixtures. Raffaele Palladino’s men were the inferior side in the last weekend’s away tie with Bologna. They failed to register a single shot on target at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Atalanta halted their push for the Champions League football with a disappointing home draw to Hellas Verona on Monday. The Dea gained a two-goal advantage early on but went on to concede two second-half goals in a disappointing defensive showing at Gewiss Stadium. Gianpiero Gasperini’s men are still eight points behind 4th-placed Bologna with a game in hand on the Rossoblu.

Latest Meetings

• Atalanta have been the dominant side in the history of this matchup. They won six, drew one, and lost one of eight head-to-head matches against Monza.
• The Dea’s positive run includes this season’s 3-0 drubbing of Monza in September last year at Gewiss Stadium.
• Atalanta bagged ten goals in the last three wins over Monza.

Monza vs Atalanta Prediction

Monza did not look impressive offensively in recent weeks at all. Three of their last four league outings ended with fewer than two goals scored. Raffaele Palladino’s squad failed to score in two of the last three Serie A affairs. They did not register a single shot on goal in the 90 minutes of action at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara last weekend either.

Atalanta have been much more efficient of late. They are also in a greater need for points. The Dea can still hope for the top-four finish and a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. They can take advantage of Monza’s slump in form in recent weeks. Finally, Atalanta have dominated this matchup historically. The Dea like to play against Monza whom they defeated in six of the previous eight head-to-head encounters. We’ll take the away win pick at the 1.85 odds.

The Over 2.5 goals bet is a perfect alternative betting option for this game at the 1.80 odds. Monza conceded four goals in two of the last three home fixtures in the league. On the other die, five of Atalanta’s previous six away outings in the Serie A saw three or more goals score. We’ve also seen at least three goals in each of the last two H2H affairs between these rivals.
