Atalanta vs. Como: Match Prediction
At home, Atalanta aims to dominate and focuses heavily on creating chances. The team rarely leaves the field without scoring: Atalanta has found the net in their last six home Serie A matches, scoring at least twice in four of those games. However, they struggle defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 home league matches.
Como also enjoys attacking and regularly finds the net even on the road. In their last 14 away Serie A encounters, Cesc Fabregas's side failed to breach the defense only against Inter and Bologna, scoring at least two goals in five of those matches. However, Como managed to keep a clean sheet in only three of their last 20 away league games.
I expect both teams to be effective in attack in this match, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
