The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Udinese and Atalanta lock horns at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday. Kosta Runjaic’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win any of their previous 15 encounters since October 2017.
Udinese were sent crashing back down to earth on Wednesday as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Juventus when the two sides squared off at the Allianz Stadium.
This followed a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Lecce at the Bluenergy Stadium on October 25, a result which saw Runjaic’s side’s four-game winless run in the league come to an end.
Udinese have picked up three wins and three draws from their nine Serie A games to collect 12 points and sit 12th in the league table, level on points with Lazio and Torino.
On the other hand, Atalanta were involved in another share of the spoils last time out as they played out a 1-1 draw with AC Milan at the Gewiss Stadium.
Ivan Juric’s men have played out five consecutive stalemates in Serie A, a run stretching back to September, when they secured back-to-back victories over Torino and Lecce.
Atalanta have picked up 13 points from their nine Serie A matches so far to sit ninth in the league standings, level on points with 10th-placed Sassuolo.
Udinese vs Atalanta Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With 18 wins from the last 49 meetings between the sides, Atalanta hold a slight upper hand in the history of this fixture.
- Udinese have picked up three fewer wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on 15 occasions.
- Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 15 games against Runjaic’s men, picking up nine wins and six draws since a 2-1 defeat in October 2017.
- Udinese have failed to win eight of their last nine Serie A home games, losing five and picking up three draws since March 15.
- Atalanta are on a run of seven consecutive away games without defeat in the league, claiming four wins and three draws since the start of April.
Udinese vs Atalanta Prediction
While Atalanta are the only unbeaten side in the league this season, they have played out seven draws already and will be keen to start picking up maximum points.
Udinese have struggled for results at home this year, and given the gulf in quality and depth between the two teams, we are backing Juric’s men to come out on top and extend their dominance in this fixture.
Prediction: Udinese 0-2 Atalanta
