Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Atalanta to Win – 1.53
Monza have lost all four of their fixtures in Serie A since the start of the 2022/23 season. On the contrary, Atalanta are undefeated winning three and drawing one of their four outings.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Over 2.5 Goals – 1.64
All of Monza’s five competitive matches in Serie A and Coppa Italia produced over 2.5 goals. Last season, Atalanta averaged 2.6 goals per game in the 10 away fixtures against the bottom 10 teams of Serie A.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Atalanta to Score the Second Goal – 1.66
Monza conceded the second goal in all four of their matches in Serie A this season. As for Atalanta, they scored the second goal in two of the league fixtures.
Monza
There can’t be a worst start for Monza in their first-ever Serie A appearance after failing to pick any point in four rounds. Obviously, the weaknesses lie in every department of Moza’s game be it in defense as they conceded 11 goals and also offensively after succeeding in netting just twice.
As a result, coach Giovanni Stroppa after his heroics in the Serie B playoffs at end of last season is under great pressure to find a way in grabbing at least their first point. The first step obviously is to strengthen the defense and maybe adopt a much more disciplined defensive system.
Atalanta
Atalanta are off to a rocket start in Serie A picking up ten points from a possible 12 and leading the Serie A table on goal difference. In fact, we have to go all the way back to 2011 when they started their season with ten points after four rounds.
And it could have been a perfect start for Gasperini’s men had they held on to their lead against Milan in the second round. Still, the Nerazzurri will have all their focus on the league since they are not playing in Europe this season after finishing in the eighth position last term.

There is no doubt that Atalanta are the overwhelming favorites to win this match and the 1.56 odds seem quite generous. We don’t see Monza troubling their guests in this match and La Dea are expected to hold on to their spot at the top.
Monza have scored on average 0.5 goals per game in Serie A. Atalanta meanwhile conceded o.5 goals per game so far. Hence with odds of 1.62 at 22Bet, we will back Monza to score under one goal in Sunday’s game.
