Atalanta vs Monza Prediction
Atalanta are fifth in the league and have won two of their last five league games. They are two points ahead of seventh-placed Juventus with one game left in the season; the result here will determine which European competition Atalanta compete in next season.
Ademola Lookman was a highly-rated talent during his Charlton Athletic days and showed glimpses of his potential during his time with Everton and RB Leipzig. However, at Atalanta, the 25-year-old has finally developed into an exciting attacker, and credit must be given to manager Gian Piero Gasperini for his development.
Monza, on the other hand, are 10th in the league. They have lost only one of their last five league games, and have impressed this season with their performances. Monza held lofty transfer ambitions last summer following their promotion to Serie A, and players like Armando Izzo and Matteo Pessina have proved to be pivotal this season for Monza.
Atalanta will hope to win this game and end their season on a positive note. A win for them seems likely.
Prediction: Atalanta 2-0 Monza
