Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta will look to extend their impressive league form as they take on Udinese at the Gewiss Stadium. The Orobici are chasing their sixth consecutive victory, showcasing their recent dominance in Serie A. With Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini as the only absentees, Atalanta’s lineup remains strong and well-equipped to secure another home win.
Udinese, meanwhile, have struggled on the road this season and may find it challenging to overcome their hosts’ fine form. In their previous meeting in Bergamo, Atalanta ran out 2-0 winners, a result they’ll look to repeat the success. The Zebrette’s Arthur Atta is out injured, while returnee Alexis Sanchez is a major doubt, further limiting their options up front. Given Atalanta’s form and Udinese’s away difficulties, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last home game in the Serie A Atalanta defeated Monza 2-0.
