Atalanta vs Monza prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 30, 2024
One of the matches of the 10th round of Italy's Serie A will be played on Wednesday at the "Atleti Azzurri d'Italia" stadium in Bergamo, where Atalanta will face Monza. Given the recent scoring form of both teams and their offensive potential, a bet on the total number of goals scored looks promising.
Atalanta
The "Goddess" has shown remarkable consistency in recent games, standing proudly in fifth place with 16 points after nine rounds. In their latest home match, Gian Piero Gasperini's team claimed a resounding 6-1 victory over Verona, following up on a solid 2-0 away win against Venezia.
Atalanta’s impressive scoring ability, with 24 goals in just nine matches, currently makes them the top-scoring team in the league. However, key players will be missing due to injuries: defenders Odilon Kossounou and Giorgio Scalvini, midfielder Marco Brescianini, and forward Gianluca Scamacca.
Monza
The season’s start was rough for the "Biancorossi," who hovered near the relegation zone for some time. Recently, however, Alessandro Nesta’s squad has shown improvement, securing essential points that lifted them to 16th place. In their last Serie A match, Monza held Venezia to a 2-2 draw despite being down to ten men, and the round before, they managed an impressive 3-0 away win against Verona.
Still, only two points separate Monza from the relegation zone, so there's no room for complacency. Missing this match due to injuries are striker Patrick Ciurria and goalkeeper Alessio Cragno, while midfielder Warren Bondo will be sidelined due to a red card.
