Match Prediction: Udinese vs. Atalanta
From this encounter, I expect a high-scoring game. Udinese has been confident in attack at home recently, regularly finding the back of the net. In their last six home Serie A matches, the team failed to score only once, against Milan, who have been defensively solid this season. However, during this same period, the club has not managed to keep a clean sheet.
Atalanta also favors attacking football and does not struggle with scoring even away from home. In their last 12 away league matches, the team only once left the pitch without scoring, and on seven occasions, they scored at least twice. On the other hand, in their last five away encounters, Atalanta kept a clean sheet only once, conceding even against Parma, Genoa, and Cremonese.
I expect both teams to score in this match, and my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
