Atalanta vs Como Prediction 24 Sep 2024

⚽ Serie A - Round 5 Preview

📅 24 Sep 2024

⏰ 19:45 GMT +1

🏟 Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)

Atalanta bounced back after consecutive defeats before the international break with a spirited 3-2 victory against Fiorentina in their last Serie A match. Despite a 0-0 draw against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League, which saw a double save from David Raya deny Mateo Retegui, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men remain confident. Atalanta has a strong record against newly-promoted teams, winning all three home matches last season, scoring nine goals without conceding.

Como, on the other hand, narrowly missed out on their first Serie A victory in a 2-2 draw with Bologna, conceding a stoppage-time equalizer. Despite two points from four games, Como has shown signs of improvement, drawing two of their last three matches and scoring first in their last outing for the first time in 11 matches. However, their concentration remains an issue, especially towards the end of the first half, where they’ve conceded in that period in all four of their away matches this season.
