Atalanta vs Udinese Prediction 7 March 2026
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Atalanta and Udinese in the 28th round of Serie A at the Gewiss Stadium? The "Little Zebras" have been a model of unpredictability this season-capable of defeating almost any opponent, only to drop points in matches where they're expected to win. Meanwhile, the Bergamo side, after a spectacular comeback against Borussia in the Champions League (4-1), have surprisingly stumbled in their last two matches. They'll certainly be eager to make amends in front of their home fans. All this sets up an intriguing encounter.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Atalanta and Udinese over recent years includes 38 matches: the Bergamo side have secured 13 victories, 15 games ended in a draw, while the "Little Zebras" have triumphed 10 times. In the first round, Udinese managed to claim three points at home with a 1-0 win, despite being considered clear underdogs before the match.
Head-to-head statistics Atalanta - Udinese
Atalanta Team Overview
🔵 Under Raffaele Palladino, Atalanta have been leaving quite a positive impression. They currently sit seventh in the Serie A standings, just six points shy of the top four, while still competing in both the Champions League and the Coppa Italia. Last autumn, few could have envisioned such a scenario: under Ivan Jurić, the Bergamo side rarely secured victories and often looked lackluster on the pitch.
⚫ However, the last two matches haven't gone smoothly for the "Queen of the Provinces." In the previous round, they unexpectedly fell to Sassuolo (1-2), even though their opponents were down to ten men from the 16th minute. A win in that match would have further closed the gap to the top four. Just a few days later, Atalanta drew with a weakened Lazio (2-2) in the Coppa Italia semi-final, having to come from behind twice. Nevertheless, nothing critical has happened for Atalanta - it's a two-leg tie, and the return leg will be in Bergamo, where achieving the desired result should be easier.

Udinese Calcio Team Overview
⚪ Udinese find themselves in 10th place in the league standings after 27 rounds, with a total of 35 points. The team is in a rather precarious position: they trail the top six by 12 points, while their cushion above the relegation zone is just 11 points. This means that any prolonged slump could quickly drag the "Little Zebras" into a relegation battle. Overall, their 2026 form has been less than convincing, with just four wins during this period.
⚫ However, the team approaches the upcoming match in high spirits. In the last round, Udinese confidently thrashed Fiorentina 3-0 at home, snapping a three-game losing streak. The victory was well-deserved as the hosts thoroughly outplayed their opponents-7-0 in shots on target and 3-0 in clear-cut chances.

Latest news
Atalanta
📣 After the 2-2 draw against Lazio, Atalanta's head coach Raffaele Palladino remarked, "We played well against a very strong team. It's always interesting to face Sarri's sides; they are quality and pose challenges. In the first half, we performed excellently, created chances, hit the crossbar, but needed to be more clinical. In the second half, we fell behind twice but managed to catch up with Lazio - the result is fair and deserved."
🚫 Atalanta are dealing with some squad issues. Giorgio Scalvini is doubtful due to a knee injury, and Ederson is experiencing physical discomfort. Giacomo Raspadori is expected to return from a muscle injury by mid-March. Charles De Ketelaere will be out much longer, as the Belgian is recovering from a knee injury and is not expected back until the end of March.
Udinese Calcio
📣 After Udinese's 3-0 victory over Fiorentina, head coach Kosta Runjaić remarked, "We entered this match on the back of three consecutive defeats, and the pressure was immense, especially after our heavy loss in the first game. It was a quality performance, driven by our strong desire to bounce back. We celebrated a win that allows us to improve our standing in the table. The match wasn't easy, but we were well-prepared."
🚫 Udinese are also dealing with some squad issues. Arthur Atta is doubtful as he recovers from a muscle injury. Umar Sole is expected to return by mid-March following his muscle setback. Nicolo Bertola is set to come back by the end of the month after a thigh injury. Alessandro Zanoli is out for the season due to a cruciate ligament injury.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Recent matches featuring Atalanta have been quite high-scoring, with at least three goals netted in each of their last four encounters. Considering Sassuolo's inconsistency, as they can both score and concede in bunches, betting on over 2.5 goals seems like a reasonable prediction.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The "Little Zebras" consistently deliver no fewer than four corners in their head-to-head clashes with Atalanta. The Udinese individual total over 3.5 corners has hit in the last five Serie A meetings between these teams. In the first-round game, Udinese also managed five corners, which gives this bet a strong chance of success.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Atalanta are clear favorites in the upcoming clash, and it's hard to disagree with that assessment. Firstly, the teams have shown contrasting performances in recent months: the Bergamo side have been much more consistent, rarely slipping up against lower-ranked opponents. Secondly, the "Queen of the Provincials" have been formidable at home. In 2026, they have won seven out of eight home fixtures, claiming victories against strong sides like Roma (1-0), Juventus (3-0), Napoli (2-1), and Borussia (4-1). Considering this track record and the current form of both teams, betting on an Atalanta victory seems the most reasonable choice. We anticipate a scoreline of 3-1 on the board.
