Udinese didn’t find a proper way to respond away to Bologna last time out, as the team suffered quite heavy 4:0 defeat without really showing their competivity in that clash. They had more of the ball possession, however nothing except that, as the home team took the lead in second minute via Destro.
As the time progressed, they were more and more satisfied with the result, that’s why Udinese had the ball possession, while the hosts scored three more times, via Taider in 45th, Destro again in 59th minute and with an own goal six minutes later. It was third consecutive game without victory on the road, as they have three consecutive wins in front of their fans, staying in a safe zone, currently at eleventh position without relegation and European worries this season.
Home team is set to be playing in some version of 4-3-1-2 formation, using Zapata and Thereau as forwards, plus Paul as central offensive midfielder. Forward Cyril Thereau had some problems, but will be ready for this one, while injured remain right back Marco Faraoni (5/0), central defender Samir (21/0), midfielders Seko Fofana (22/5) and Assane Gnoukouri (4/0).

Atalanta, on the other side, managed to make a surprise last Friday evening, as the team took a point in front of own fans against arguably the strongest team in the country as they drew against Juventus 2:2. Players of Juventus had much more of the ball possession, but the team from Bergamo overcame that situation being very concrete in attack.
They even took the lead in 45th minute with a goal from Conti and even though the visitors reverted the scoreline with an own goal from Spinazzola in 50th minute and a goal from Alves in 83rd, Atalanta deservedly took a point with equalizer in 89th minute via Freuler. With this point, they remained undefeated once again, for sixth consecutive match in Serie A, as the side remains at fifth position, having five points more than sixth placed Milan and a victory here would bring them much closer to Europe.
Visitors are set to play in some version of 3-4-2-1 formation, using Petagna as central striker, plus Kurtic and Gomez as offensive midfielders. Central defender Ervin Zukanovic (19/0) is injured, while suspended for this match are midfielders Andrea Conti (30/7) and Remo Freuler (30/5).
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Udinese’s last 7 games (Serie A).
- Udinese have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 home matches against Atalanta.
Udinese looked really well in previous three matches in front of own fans and will surely be looking to continue in the same momentum as they meet the biggest surprise of Serie A this season. Atalanta are just four points away from securing their European exit and are also in a great form. An open game, with both teams having good number of concrete chances and Atalanta’s victory are likely outcomes here.
