Udinese vs Atalanta prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-31 14:00.
[p]Udinese aim to continue their improving home form when they host unbeaten draw specialists Atalanta on Saturday.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Udinese saw their three-match unbeaten run (W1, D2) grind to an abrupt halt on Wednesday night as they went down 3-1 against Juventus. In spite of their recent revival, Kosta Runjaić’s side are still four points worse off than this stage last season, a record which hasn’t been helped by a failure to keep a home league clean sheet this season – only Fiorentina (nine) have conceded more Serie A home goals than Udinese this season ahead of the round. Two of those came in their last such game when they beat Lecce 3-2, but with that win ending an eight-match winless Serie A home run prior (D3, L5), they’ll hope to have turned a corner.[/p]
[p]Atalanta drew their fifth successive Serie A match in midweek when they were held to a 1-1 stalemate by AC Milan. La Dea remain Serie A’s only unbeaten side (W2, D7), but an underwhelming haul of 13 points after nine games is their lowest at this stage since the 2018/19 campaign. Their two wins coming against sides who, like Udinese, start this round beneath them in the table should help inspire some confidence, but with just one win from five competitive away games this term (D3, L1), few know what to expect from Atalanta here.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
