Despite being comfortably in the mid-table, Monza can certainly look for positives from this season – their position in the top half of the table is an improvement over previous seasons. For Atalanta, the excitement of continental football continues in the semi-finals of the Europa League, but their position in the top 7 of Serie A is far from being secure.
Monza Team News
Positives are easy to find for the Monza faithful, but it must be stated that recent results have dropped a bit, as the team has not won any of its last 3 Serie A games. But to be fair, they were 3 tough fixtures against teams from the upper half of the table. Despite that, Napoli and Torino, to whom Monza lost, are also directly involved in the battle for the top 7. Yet, with those two losses, I Biancorossi are effectively out of this race. At home though, Monza are a tough nut to crack and have secured a good portion of their points here. They have also managed to score in all of their last 4 home games but in the same time conceded in 3 of them.
Atalanta Team News
Eliminating Liverpool is a glorious achievement for La Dea and they have moved one step closer to the Europa League final. But now is the time to sort out some domestic affairs. Atalanta is currently 7th in the league and occupies one of the spots granting European football next season. However, Napoli are just 2 points behind, with Torio and Fiorentina also lurking in the background. Recent heroics in the Europa League have taken a toll on Atalanta’s domestic form, with the team winning just 1 of their last 5 Serie A games, losing 2 and reaching a draw in the others. La Dea have scored in all of those last 5 league games, but have also conceded in 4 of them.
Head-to-Head-Games
Looking at the last 3 head-to-head fixtures, we will see Atalanta having a clear dominance over Monza with 3 wins. Two out of three games featured over 2.5 goals and one saw both teams scoring. Monza does have a win over Atalanta as hosts, but that came a long time ago, 1999 to be precise.

Monza – Atalanta Betting Prediction
Monza don’t seem like having a chance to fight for the European spots next year, but Atalanta have to maintain their position, for it is in jeopardy. Typically, Monza are quite stable at home, but recent performances have somewhat dropped. Atalanta are also a team, whose’s games tend to feature copious amounts of scoring done by them and against them. I think that we will see both teams scoring here. It has been a trend in both teams’ Serie A games in recent weeks.
