Monza – Atalanta

Atalanta will confidently beat the main outsider of the championship

Monza increased their losing streak to five matches. "The Bianconeri were away in Turin, where they met Juventus. The Bianconeri scored twice in the first half. Minutes before the break, Yildiz received a straight red card, which seemed to give Nesta's men a chance for a miracle. The miracle did not happen. Interestingly, before the meeting with Torino, Nesta said that the main goal is not to become the worst team in Serie A history. That sounds promising. Atalanta quite unexpectedly lost points in the last round. The Bergamaschi met Lecce at home, under heavy emotional turmoil of the opponent. The untimely death of Lecce's physiotherapist darkened the mood at the club, and the refusal of the championship management to postpone the game caused a scandal. "Wolves" almost decided to boycott the match, but still took the field. The more incomprehensible is how Gasperini's wards lost points. "The Giallorossi scored first. On 29 minutes Karlsson scored from the spot. Atalanta scored only in the 69th minute. However, the team could have taken the lead almost immediately. It didn't work out. Against the background of previous results, a draw with outsiders looks strange. Before that, the "goddess" beat Milan away (0:1) and Bologna at home (2:0). With four rounds to go, Atalanta goes on the third line, but can easily drop lower. The Bergamaschi have consistently defeated their vis-a-vis in all of their last five matches. Only in one of them (a meeting at the end of last season) the proposed bet did not play. And the total score of goals in this stretch is 14:3. The match of the first round was played at the end of October last year. "Brianzolli" were not yet so hopeless and were able to resist the opponent for a long time. However, goals by Samardzic and Zappacosta recorded a confident 2-0 victory for the Bergamaschi. It is important to say that Atalanta is the best team in terms of away performance. Thus, on the road, Gasperini's wards have 11 wins in 17 games, scoring 35 goals. Monza, obviously, are the worst at home. A miracle is unlikely to happen. "Leaving with a loud slam of the door" is not about this Monza. Bergamaschi continue to fight and losing points in a match with a clear outsider is not in their plans. Atalanta should get a confident victory.
