Udinese vs Atalanta Match Preview

Udinese is ranked at the 4th place with 19 points and comes after a great run as they got five wins over the last five matches. In fact this has been an amazing start of the new season for them considering they have won six out of eight games while tasting defeat just once. With 17 goals they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five matches games scored a total of 13 goals averaging more than two goals per game while finding the back of the net at least once in 7 out of 8 duels this season. It is worth mentioning the 4-0 victory they got against Roma and 3-1 against Inter. Beto has been leading the attack for them with 5 goals but Deulofeu too on the wings has been crucial with 6 assists so far.

Atalanta on the other side is ranked at the 2nd place with 20 points and comes almost in a perfect run after four wins and a draw over the last five matches. Alongside Napoli they are one of the teams which are yet to lose a game having collected 6 wins and 2 draws so far. An advantage for them this season will be the fact that they do not play on European competitions so they can fully focus on the league. With 12 goals scored so far they have shown a decent offensive side and in the last five encounters scored a total of 8 goals averaging more than a goal per game. Koopmeiners has been their key player in attack with 4 goals - 1 assist but slowly even Lookman has been integrating well with the team as he got 2 goals - 1 assist until now.

In conclusion I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Udinese has been playing a very interesting offensive football and I expect them to continue doing that in front of their fans. They have scored against Atalanta in each of the last ten home games. Atalanta is a team which has many options upfront so despite the fact they will miss Zapata because of injury I fancy them to score a goal.
