Venue (City, Stadium) | U-Power Stadium |
Monza vs Atalanta at the U-Power Stadium puts a struggling Serie A side up against a misfiring one, though the visitors still bring far more quality into Sunday's fixture.
Ivan Jurić's Monza sit 18th and in the relegation zone. They have failed to win 34 of their last 38 matches in Serie A, a record that leaves little room for optimism.
Maurizio Sarri's Atalanta sit 13th and arrive without a win in six across all competitions, so this is hardly a meeting of two sides in rude health.
The head-to-head makes grim reading for the hosts. Atalanta have won their last 9 matches against Monza in all competitions, and nothing about Monza's current defending suggests that run is about to end.
Monza vs Atalanta Form
Monza have lost three straight Serie A games, the latest a defeat to Bologna, and the defending has been dreadful, with 24 league goals conceded already this season. Gustavo Varela remains the one genuine reason for hope up front, and he is the man Monza will lean on again here.
Atalanta's slump spans both fronts. A 3-0 home league defeat to Parma and a Conference League draw with Kairat Almaty sum up the drift, and they have conceded at least 2 goals in 7 of their last 8 Serie A matches. The attack, led by Nikola Krstović, is still doing enough to keep them dangerous.

Monza vs Atalanta Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Atalanta to win an open, messy game, but not without conceding. The Monza vs Atalanta betting odds have the visitors at 21/20 with 10Bet, and the projections hand them a 54.34% win probability. Monza's leaky back line is the deciding factor, though Varela's form makes an Atalanta clean sheet hard to see.
Best Bets
Over 3.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Both sides have been involved in high-scoring games recently. The projections land on 3.83 total goals for this one. Monza's recent league games have been wide open, this fixture has a habit of producing goals, and neither back line gives you much reason to expect a stubborn afternoon.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Monza's defence is leaky and Atalanta score freely. Atalanta have scored at least 2 goals in their last 9 matches against Monza in all competitions, and with Hien, Kossounou, Kolašinac and Kristensen all out, their own defence is badly patched up. The projections put both teams scoring at 70.67%, which rounds off our Monza vs Atalanta best bets nicely.
Monza vs Atalanta Bet Builder
Our Monza vs Atalanta bet builder tips back Gustavo Varela to score, Nikola Krstović to keep shooting and Atalanta to score at least twice in an open game.
Gustavo Varela to score anytime: the forward has found the net in 4 of his 4 most recent Serie A appearances, and he is Monza's clear route to goal against a patched-up Atalanta defence.
Nikola Krstović over 3.5 shots: across his latest five Serie A outings, the striker has attempted 4+ shots four times, and Monza's open games should feed him plenty of looks.
Nikola Krstović over 0.5 shots on target: he has hit the target at least once in 5 out of 5 recent Serie A games, a low bar for a striker of his volume.
Atalanta over 1.5 goals in the Total Away Goals market: Atalanta have scored 2+ goals in 6 out of 6 matches vs Monza in Serie A.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 11/2 and is as short as 4/1 elsewhere.

Monza vs Atalanta Talking Points
The big question is whether Gustavo Varela, the Serie A top scorer with nine league goals, can punish an Atalanta defence stripped of Hien, Kossounou and Kolašinac. At the other end, Sarri is chasing a first win in seven, and Monza's frailty against set pieces and through balls hands his attack obvious routes in. Neither side looks built to keep this tidy, so expect a direct, messy afternoon.
