Atalanta vs Monza Prediction: Will the home team be able to rehabilitate themselves?

Atalanta could not take away even a draw from the road to Frosinone. Will Gian Piero Gasperini's team be able to rehabilitate themselves?

Bergamaschi has an uncertain start in the new championship. First, the team hosted Sassuolo and almost lost points, scoring the winning goal only in the 83rd minute (De Ketelare scored). Yes, Nadir Zortea doubled the lead on 90+3, and Atalanta's victory was confident (2:0), but there were still questions about Bergamo's performance.

The fears were confirmed in the second round, when Atalanta conceded twice by the 24th minute against Frosinone but only scored once early in the second half, thanks to Duvan Zapata's effort, and lost 1:2.

The team began the championship away meeting with Inter, which last season they beat on his field (1:0). The team failed to repeat the success. Monza did not create a dangerous moment for the whole game and lost 0:2, conceding a goal in each of the halves.

Monza had a simpler opponent in the second round - Empoli, besides the White-Red played at home. At the end of the first half and the beginning of the second, Andrea Colpani scored a double and gave his team their first win of the season - 2:0.

Atalanta beat Monza twice last season with a 2+ goal difference. But the first time, it was in the fifth round, when Giovanni Stroppa was still the coach of the Red and White, and the second time, it was in the last round, when Atalanta needed to stay in the European Cup competitions. Monza was finishing the season and was left in the minority in that match. White-Red lost in the first away game of the season to Inter, but Inter and Atalanta at the moment teams are completely different levels. Let's bet on Monza and expect goals, taking into account the statistics of the last matches of each of the rivals.
