Atalanta to beat Udinese and over 1.5 goals 4/7 for Monday’s Serie A showdown

Competition: Serie A

Market: Atalanta win and over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/7 @ Bet 365

With the chance to climb into the top four, Atalanta will host Udinese at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia on Monday night.

Starting with the hosts, coming off the back of another impressive 2-1 win over Fiorentina, Atalanta are enjoying a very eye-catching campaign in Italy’s top-tier. With a Coppa Italia Final against Lazio to look forward to next month, the mood in Gian Piero Gasperini’s camp couldn’t be any higher. With the chance to climb into the top four and move into pole position in the race to secure Champions League football next year, one man to watch on Monday will be leading goalscorer Duván Zapata. With 21 Serie A goals this season and sat second in the overall goalscoring charts, the 28-year-old has four in his last five outings.

As for the visitors, coming off the back of a 1-1 draw against Sassuolo last week, Udinese are still a battle to secure another season of Serie A football. Holding a four-point buffer over the drop zone with five games remaining, a huge part of their struggles this year has come down to their form away from the Dacia Arena. Now losing six of their last seven matches on the road, Igor Tudor’s side have failed to pick up a single victory on their travels since the 23rd of September. With Atalanta picking up a 3-1 win when the two sides met earlier in the season, we’re backing a similar result on Monday night.
