Match announcement

Udinese

Current form
Before the start of the season, Udinese were not considered contenders for a ticket to the European Cups, but they had a very strong start to the championship and indicated their claims to a place in the top seven. However, Kosta Runjaic team lacks stability in the first round, and the competition is off the charts - they have not yet managed to rise above the ninth line. The Zebras are seven points behind sixth-placed Fiorentina, and Milan and Bologna are still higher in the table, so the chances of success are frankly slim. Having drawn a goalless draw with Verona in the last round, Udinese extended their unbeaten streak to three matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lucca disqualified. Okoye, Davis, Zarraga and Giannetti are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Udinese have not lost in their last three matches – one win and two draws
- Udinese have scored in their last two home matches
Probable line-up: Sawa - Christensen, Bijol, Sole - Ehizibue, Karlstrom, Lovric, Payero, Zemura - Thauvin, Sanchez.

Atalanta

Current form
Atalanta were considered a clear contender for a place in the top four before the start of the season, but did not set higher goals for themselves, given the summer losses and high competition. After several unimpressive matches, Gian Piero Gasperini team gradually gained excellent form and recently held the lead in the table, but let Napoli pass them, moving to second place. However, there is a chance to eliminate the three-point gap in the upcoming round. Last week, Atalanta played in the Italian Super Cup, where they were eliminated by Inter in the semi-finals, losing 0:2 in Riyadh.
Disqualifications and injuries
Scamacca, Cuadrado and Retegui are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Atalanta have won 11 of their last 12 league matches
- Atalanta beat Udinese in their last two matches
Tentative line-up: Carnesecchi - Djimsiti, Hin, Kolasinac - Bellanova, Ederson, De Ron, Zappacosta - Pasalic, Lookman - De Ketelare.

1.45Tip and bets
Atalanta will definitely try to take the maximum today - despite the fact that the Bergamaschi coach is trying to deny any claims to the Scudetto, he understands very well that with this selection of players, such a task is quite realistic to solve. Despite several mistakes, the goddess is in excellent shape overall and certainly has a huge advantage in terms of player selection - it is unlikely that Udinese will be able to take points from such an opponent.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) for Atalanta . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on total
Atalanta is the undisputed favorite of the match and will clearly play only for victory, the goddess has very high-level players ahead and Udinese is unlikely to be able to play reliably, not everything is perfect in defense. At the same time, the zebras play boldly at home, and despite the absence of Lorenzo Lucca, they are quite capable of responding - the hosts are very dangerous on counterattacks and this weapon has brought them success more than once along the chord of the first round.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.79
Bet on corners
Atalanta are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking - the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Atalanta. This bet is offered for 1.81
