My Prediction
Atalanta by 3Now, let's dive into the deep end of this Serie A matchup. Monza comes up against an energized Atalanta squad.
Let's talk about the guys with the gloves. Atalanta has Marco Carnesecchi, pretty reliable with his 10 saves and 7.33 rating. Monza, on the other hand, looks to Stefano Turati in goal, who, standing tall with a 6.82 rating and 14 saves, gives Monza some hope.
Turning the spotlight to those scoring the points. For Atalanta, Marten de Roon does the silent yet important work with a 7.35 rating and his improbable 87.6% accurate pass rate. Mateo Retegui is the one to watch with 2 goals from recent memory. However, I'd argue that our eyes should be on Éderson, who sports a 7.28 rating, with not just his stylish haircut, but a goal, and 2 shots on goal.
Monza, at a glance, may seem like they're just making up the numbers, but still got men who can light up the match. Andrea Carboni, with his 7.13 rating, can zip balls around the pitch with his impressive 89.0% accurate pass rate. Let's not forget Dany Mota with his shooting boots on, scoring one goal and boasting a 72.2% accurate pass rate.
The past and the present doesn't seem to play in Monza's favor, I'm afraid. In their last four encounters, Monza has always ended up on the wrong side of history. Atalanta's past one-to-five winners must still give them nightmares. Speaking of nightmares, Monza's current season record is a 2-9-23 tragedy, whereas Atalanta maintains a more respectable 19-8-7 tally.
Peeking into the rear-view mirror at their recent performances; Atalanta's been trading blows with the big boys, managing to hold their own with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses whereas Monza, bless their hearts, stumbled through 5 losses on the trot.
Given these observations, it's hard to see a future where Monza comes out top, neither is a draw very likely. Bet on Atalanta running away with this one folks. And if you want some numbers to chew on:
