One of the matches of the 20th round of the Italian Serie A will be played on Saturday at the Friuli stadium, where Udinese will host Atalanta. We suggest a bet on the total number of goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match Preview
In the last round, Kosta Runjaić's team played a 0:0 draw against Verona away, which allowed Udinese to earn points for the fourth time in their last five Serie A matches (2 wins and 2 draws). Notably, the team managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in their last 10 league encounters.
This result kept Udinese in 9th place in the standings with 25 points. However, Udinese's home form remains a serious issue. At home, the team has won only four of their last 19 Serie A matches, with six draws and nine losses.
On the other hand, Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta played a 1:1 draw against Lazio away in the last round, breaking their 11-match winning streak in Serie A. It also marked the fifth time in their last seven matches that they failed to keep a clean sheet.
Despite this, Atalanta remains in excellent form, occupying second place in the standings with 41 points, just three points behind Napoli, with a game in hand. It is worth noting that Atalanta has scored the second-most goals away from home, only behind Inter. In terms of away statistics, Atalanta has not lost in 11 of their last 13 Serie A matches, winning nine and drawing two.
