Atalanta vs Monza Prediction and Betting Tips | October 30th 2024
The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Atalanta play host to Monza at the Gewiss Stadium on Wednesday. Having lost the previous six meetings between the two teams, Alessandro Nesta’s men will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the hosts and secure just their second league win of the season.
Atalanta turned in a clinic at the attacking end of the pitch last Saturday when they steamrolled Hellas Verona 6-1 at the Gewiss Stadium. This followed a goalless draw with Celtic in the UEFA Champions League, where Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the campaign, claiming one win and two draws from their opening three matches.
With last weekend’s result against Verona, Atalanta have picked up five wins and one draw from their six Serie A games this season to collect 16 points and sit fifth in the table, level on points with Fiorentina, Lazio and Udinese.
Monza, on the other hand, were denied consecutive Serie A wins for the first time this season as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Venezia at the Stadio Brianteo.
Before that, Nesta’s men picked up their first win of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign on October 21, when they beat Hellas Verona 3-0 to end their 16-game winless run in the league.
With eight points from nine matches, Monza are 16th in the league table, level on points with 17th-placed Parma and just three points above rock-bottom Lecce.
