Udinese Preview – Can Udinese record a third straight league win for just the second time this year?
Luca Gotti celebrated a year in charge of Udinese last month and done so in style as his team ended November very strongly. A home win against Genoa and then an excellent 3-1 victory away to Lazio has propelled Udinese up the table and the points were much needed having taken just a point from their three games prior to that. It means they can approach this game in confident mood and a win would actually put them just behind their opponents.
The win over Genoa remains just one of two home victories in Serie A for Udinese this season having been beaten by Milan, Roma and Spezia.
Atalanta Preview – Will an unusually out of sorts Atalanta record a much-needed win to revive their season?
It’s fair to say that Atalanta are in something of a rut just now as they bid to end a run of three games without a win in Serie A and what would be just their second victory in seven league games. It’s form which has seen them drop rapidly down the table and sitting outside the top four where we’ve become so accustomed to see them sitting.
Atalanta also face a huge game in Europe next midweek when facing Ajax. They need a draw to guarantee their place in the knockout stages, so it’s a big week for the club.

For a team who have been so prolific in recent seasons (and who were at the beginning of this campaign) the lack of goals has been a feature of their recent poor run. They’ve failed to score in their last two league games and managed multiple goals just once in their last six matches.
That’s the aspect of their play which Gian Piero Gasperini will be hoping for significant improvement in starting with this match, against an opponent who they tend to enjoy playing against.
Udinese vs Atalanta Betting Advice
Although away from home, Atalanta could barely pick a better fixture as they attempt to improve their form and begin climbing the table. They’ve won their last five against Udinese and have scored 17 goals in the process. But the home team will feel they are good enough form to at least end the run of losses and potentially take all three points themselves.
Key Facts – Udinese vs Atalanta Betting Tip
- Udinese come into this game on the back of an excellent 3-1 win over Lazio

You don’t become a bad team overnight and although Atalanta are not reaching the levels we know they’re capable of they have still be competitive in virtually all of the games they’ve dropped points. This looks a decent match-up for them to get back to winning ways and I’m backing them to do that.
