Atalanta vs. Udinese – Prediction (Serie A – 27.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Atalanta have won their last three Serie A meetings against Udinese, as many as they had in the previous 19 (D9 L7). Atalanta may have lost each of their opening three Champions League matches so far, but in Serie A (SA) they’ve lost just one of their last 21 fixtures (W14, D6, L1). Their league outings are usually goal-filled, with 15 of those games featuring over 2.5 goals, and over half (11) producing over 3.5. Alejandro Gómez has so far netted four goals in SA this season, but he is yet to score in the opening 30 minutes of a match. Moreover, ‘La Dea’ have netted 2.63 goals per-game on average across their first eight SA fixtures, which constitutes the league’s best offensive record. Yet, despite scoring at least two goals in each of their three SA home matches so far, Atalanta have won just one of those matches.

Atalanta have conceded a first-half opener within 30 minutes in three of their last four SA home games. At all venues, each of the last four top-flight H2Hs have featured a level half-time score. Udinese are yet to concede a goal in the opening 30 minutes of a game this SA season.

Ahead of kick-off, Udinese have recorded just two victories across their last 19 SA road trips (W2, D5, L12). In fact, a 1-0 home victory in their last SA outing bore some significance, as the result made it six straight league games featuring under 1.5 goals, with five producing a 1-0 scoreline either way. Stefano Okaka has been a match winner for Udinese in each of the two SA games to see him score, with both being first-half openers. Udinese haven’t scored a single league goal on their travels this term, which has in fact been the case in half of their last eight SA away fixtures overall. So has it been the case in four of their last six visits here (W1, D2, L3).
