Atalanta vs Spezia Prediction: Will the home team have no trouble extending their winning streak?

With two wins, Atalanta will face Serie A underdog La Spezia. Will the home team have no trouble extending their winning streak? There are several options for betting on another match in round 33 of the Italian championship.

Atalanta

The team hasn't only won twice in a row but also hasn't lost a game in a row. Atalanta has faced some formidable opponents in this stretch of the season. Firstly, Bergamas snatched a 1:1 draw away from Fiorentina in a tough fixture in Florence. Then, they confidently dealt with the current Europa League semi-finalist Roma of Jose Mourinho - 3:1. After that, they beat a tough Torino side on the road, scoring the decisive goal in the closing stages of the game thanks to a 2:1 win by Duvan Zapata. Thanks to such a good start, they got back into the running for the Champions League title and are now just two points behind the top-four sides.

Spezia

While occasionally picking up points, the Eagles have not won in six successive fixtures. As a result, Verona, who have been more stable recently, has caught up with La Spezia in the standings. The teams have 27 points each, but the Eagles still sit in 17th place without conceding any points. However, with each round, La Spezia's prospects are getting less promising - the team is closer to relegation than ever before in their time in Serie A.

Expert Betting Tips

Spezia has a weak game in attack, including the lack of efficiency in the closing stages of the attacks. So far, neither Eldor Shomurodov, Daniele Maldini, Daniele Verde, nor Emmanuel Gyasi has been able to start scoring consistently. The participation of the only man who can score, namely Mbala Nzola, in the match against Atalanta is questionable. So, the team will most likely not have problems with neutralizing the opponent's attacks in the upcoming game and, quite possibly, will not concede anything. On the other hand, they could score two or three goals themselves. Duvan Zapata, who scored the winning goal against Torino last time round, has finally picked up his form. Luis Muriel is making a comeback, and young talent Rasmus Hojlund can always be expected to make some surprises. So, our money is on Atalanta. Then again, considering La Spezia's difficulties in attack, Bergamo might be satisfied with just one goal. And there have never been more than four goals per game in any of the 32 league games involving the Eagles.
