Atalanta vs Udinese Prediction & Betting tips
Atalanta is still on its way to making history. The Udinese club receives this round of play, which is still at risk of relegation. In the December game, Atalanta won 1-3. The big man in that match was Duvan Zapata, who made a hat trick.
Atalanta:
Atalanta experiences a wonderful season under Gian Piero Gasperini and will have to reward herself in the coming weeks. Last Thursday it reached the cup final at the expense of Fiorentina. In the game, Atalanta scored the first two goals in twenty minutes, eventually ending in 3-3. At home, it was enough for a small draw to convert, but the start was not as hoped. Already after three minutes Muriel scored for the visitors after a great pass from Chiesa. The next two big chances were also for Fio, which could have been 0-3 within fifteen minutes. After twenty minutes Atalanta received an easily given penalty kick from which Josip Ilicic made the 1-1, only after this did the Bergamo team appear more in the play. In the end Alejandro Gomez decided the game, Fiorentina goalkeeper Lafont made a flashy mistake with his shot.
Gli Orobici play the first cup final since 1996 and can win it for the first time since 1963 at the expense of Lazio. Also in the competition it has everything to fight for. Together with AC Milan (which also plays on Monday), it stands at 56 points and also has competition from AS Roma for fourth place, the Romans came to 58 points this weekend, so they played one game more. Given the form and the game, it would not be strange to label Atalanta as the favorite of these three, the team has been unbeaten for ten consecutive times and has the most dangerous attack trio of the competition with Zapata, Ilicic and Gomez.
Udinese:
At Udinese, people hope that the season will soon be over. The team finished fourteenth and thirteenth in the last two seasons, but still has to fight for retention this year. It currently occupies seventeenth place and has a lead of four points on number eighteen Empoli. This lead is largely due to the 3-2 win over Empoli earlier this month, when the Udine team fought back from a 1-2 deficit and held out with ten men after a stupid red card from Marvin Zeegelaar.
Last weekend it ended with another fortune at Empoli. I Bianconeri trailed 0-1 against Sassuolo, but took a run after Sassuolo’s Lirola punched a ball into his own goal.
For the game in Bergamo, trainer Igor Tudor does not have access to Seko Fofana who was injured against Sassuolo. William Troost-Ekong also suffered a muscle injury in that match, but whether he can participate is still doubtful. Hidde Ter Avest and Nicholas Opoku both seem to have recovered from their injuries, the same goes for Emil Halfredsson, who has not played since October.
