Como vs Atalanta prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-01-24 14:00.
[p]Como moved three points away from the Serie A relegation zone with a 4-1 win over Udinese on Monday in a game where both teams finished with ten men. Thanks to that triumph, the Lariani have picked up ten of the last 18 available points (W3, D1, L2) and will now look to post consecutive wins for only the second time this season, with their last two-game winning sequence back in September starting with a 3-2 victory over fellow Lombardy club, Atalanta.[/p]
[p]Cesc Fà bregas’ side now have the chance to record a top-flight H2H double for the first time since 1949/50, and playing at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia could play to their advantage as Como have won three of their last four home games (L1). The hosts scored eight goals across those wins, while the fact five of those strikes came beyond the 75th minute suggests late action could be on the cards.[/p]
[p]Atalanta stormed past Sturm Graz 5-0 on Tuesday to book a place in the UEFA Champions League knockout stage, but will be looking to get back on track domestically. Before Tuesday’s win, La Dea failed to win any of their previous five matches (D3, L2) and start this round seven points behind league leaders Napoli, against whom they lost 3-2 last weekend, as their 15-game unbeaten league run (W11, D4) ground to an abrupt halt.[/p]
[p]One run still going though is Atalanta’s eight game unbeaten streak in away league action (W5, D3), although the visitors did fail to score in their last league trip (D 0-0) against Udinese. They’re now in danger of recording back-to-back scoring blanks on the road in top-flight for the first time since December 2023.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Gabriel Strefezza scored the second goal of the match with his last three league strikes, including the reverse fixture. One player who could precede him on the scoresheet is Mateo Retegui, who has scored in three consecutive matches for Atalanta and four of his last five scoring appearances saw him net the match opener.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: No team conceded more Serie A goals than Como (nine) after the 80th minute this season.[/p]
