Atalanta vs Udinese Predictions

Atalanta can edge a tight one at home

Atalanta are seventh, three places and ten points above Udinese, who are tenth with a record of ten wins, five draws and 12 losses. There have been 65 games between teams in the top half of Serie A this season, and 32 (49%) have gone the way of the home team, for a profit of 7.56 points to a one-point level stake.

Atalanta have momentum on their side, having won their last five home games and been successful in seven of the last eight. They have lost just one of their last ten head-to-heads at home to Udinese.

Scoring has not been an issue for Atalanta lately. They have scored at least twice in four of their last six Serie A games and have found the net in nine of their last ten league matches.

Atalanta have been impressive defensively at home this season, conceding just 11 goals in 14 Serie A games – an average of 0.79 goals per game.

Udinese are out of form, and backing their opponents during their current run of three defeats in four Serie A games would have resulted in a profit of 3.91 units.

Udinese are enduring a difficult run of results, with three of their last four Serie A matches ending in defeat. They have lost their last two away games.

The visitors have looked vulnerable at the back. Udinese are on a run of six Serie A away days without recording a shutout and have conceded 21 goals on their travels this season – an average of 1.62 per game from 13 matches. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in ten of their last 12 league games.

A narrow 1-0 victory for Atalanta looks the most likely outcome. Five of the last six Serie A meetings between these sides have gone under 2.5 goals, and Udinese have been beaten by a single goal in three of their last four matches.
