Atalanta vs Monza Predictions

Will Atalanta’s Scoring Prowess Prove Too Much for Monza?

• Atalanta’s Attack Unstoppable: Atalanta have scored 24 goals in their nine Serie A matches this season, averaging a staggering 2.7 goals per game.
• Monza’s Struggles on the Road: Monza have managed just one win in their last 18 Serie A games, with their defence conceding 11 goals in their nine matches so far.
• Retegui’s Red-Hot Form: Mateo Retegui has scored 10 goals in his first nine league matches this season, making him the most lethal forward in Serie A.

Our Tips

As Serie A action continues this week, Atalanta BC prepare to welcome Monza to Bergamo for what promises to be an intriguing Lombardy derby. Both sides are coming off contrasting fortunes in recent weeks. Atalanta, flying high with three consecutive wins, thrashed Hellas Verona 6-1 at the weekend, while Monza had to settle for a hard-fought 2-2 draw at home to Venezia. With Atalanta’s potent attack and Monza’s tendency to fight back, there’s plenty to anticipate in this midweek encounter.

While Atalanta are chasing a fourth straight league win, they will have one eye on a difficult upcoming fixture against Napoli. This match, however, should provide another opportunity for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side to solidify their standing in Serie A. Monza, on the other hand, find themselves just above the relegation zone, having claimed only one win in their last 18 league matches. Both teams are desperate for points, albeit for different reasons, and that will certainly fuel the tension in this clash.

Best Bet: Atalanta to Win and Over 2.5 Goals

The best bet for this match is to back Atalanta to win, combined with over 2.5 goals. The reasoning behind this selection is straightforward: Atalanta have been on a goal-scoring tear, particularly at home, where they’ve netted an impressive 16 goals in just five league matches this season. They boast the highest number of goals in Serie A (24), and much of their recent success has been built on their formidable attack, led by Mateo Retegui, who has already bagged 10 goals in just nine league appearances.

Moreover, Atalanta’s home matches this season have been consistently high-scoring, with their games averaging four goals per match. Their recent 6-1 demolition of Verona is a clear indicator of their offensive firepower. With players like Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere also chipping in with goals, it’s hard to see Monza keeping the hosts at bay.

Monza’s form, particularly away from home, gives little reason to believe they can hold out against Atalanta’s relentless attack. Though they did manage a 3-0 victory against Verona in their last away fixture, it was their first away win in months, and they’ve struggled for consistency. In fact, Monza have won just one of their last 18 league games, making them vulnerable against an Atalanta side that seems unstoppable at the moment.

That said, Monza have shown they are capable of grabbing goals, even when up against stronger opposition. They’ve scored in each of their last three matches, and with Atalanta having conceded in eight of their last 10 league matches, there’s a decent chance Monza could at least make their mark on the scoreboard. This is why over 2.5 goals seems a strong addition to the bet, as Monza are likely to find the net, even if only once.

As BettingTips4You.com expert Luca Semproni puts it, “Atalanta’s scoring ability is simply unstoppable right now. With Retegui in fine form and their midfield pulling the strings, it’s hard to see Monza surviving the onslaught. However, Atalanta’s defence isn’t impenetrable, so don’t be surprised if Monza sneak a goal.”

Correct Score Prediction: Atalanta 4-1 Monza

Given Atalanta’s current goal-scoring form, a 4-1 home victory seems like a realistic prediction. This lines up well with the best bet of Atalanta to win and over 2.5 goals, as it reflects their attacking dominance but also acknowledges Monza’s ability to score.

Atalanta have averaged 2.7 goals per game this season, and their home form has been even more prolific, scoring at least twice in 13 of their last 14 home league matches. The combination of Retegui’s goal-scoring prowess, Lookman’s creativity, and the support from midfielders like Marten de Roon and Mario Pasalic should overwhelm a Monza defence that has conceded 11 goals in nine games this season.

Monza’s struggles in defence, combined with Atalanta’s scoring frequency, suggest the visitors will be under pressure from the get-go. However, Monza have proven they can find the net, particularly through Dany Mota and Milan Djuric. They’ll likely capitalise on Atalanta’s occasional lapses at the back—Atalanta have only kept two clean sheets in their last 10 matches at home. Monza’s goal, however, may end up being little more than consolation.
