Competition: Serie A

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

In what could prove to be an enjoyable Serie A showdown on Saturday night, Atalanta will welcome Como to Bergamo.

Starting with the hosts, while Atalanta might have got a new era underway over the summer following Ivan Juric’s arrival in Bergamo, La Dea have enjoyed a bright start to life under the former Southampton boss. Putting a maiden Champions League victory on the board in midweek as they clinched a 2-1 win at home against Club Brugge, last season’s bronze medalists have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first seven appearances across all competitions. Marking their return from September’s international break with a thumping 4-1 victory against relegation scrappers Lecce, Atalanta should also be excited by their recent clinical performances in the final third. Laying down a domestic marker last month as they stormed their way to an emphatic 3-0 romp away at Torino, Atalanta have registered eight goals in just their previous three domestic showdowns. However, it should be highlighted, getting their European adventure underway with a 4-0 drumming against French giants PSG on September 17th, La Dea have recorded just a sole clean sheet from their last 10 competitive appearances.

As for the visitors, securing a top-half finish among Italy’s elite last season, Como certainly gained a string of plaudits from across the continent. Only continuing on what has been a sensational rise under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas, some have tipped the Voltaics as a potential European dark horse this year. Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure last month as they stormed their way to a stellar 3-0 romp against Sassuolo, the one-time Arsenal skipper finds the mood in his camp at a continued high. Getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with an impressive 2-0 win at home against Lazio on August 24th, Como should be excited by a trip to Bergamo this weekend. Last seen on their travels landing an eye-catching 2-1 victory against Fiorentina, Fabregas’ camp also sprung a heavyweight upset when they last travelled to Bergamo. Securing an action-packed 3-2 win when they travelled to Atalanta 13 months ago, the Lombardy-based outfit are more than capable of asking some serious questions here.
