Como vs Atalanta Prediction 25 January 2025

🔊 Can Atalanta secure an important victory in the upcoming clash? In Serie A, the team has been unable to win for four matches, gradually falling out of the championship race. Como, on the other hand, has gained momentum and minimized their losses. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction for the match that will take place at "Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia".

📊 Head-to-Head

In the last 20 years, Como and Atalanta have crossed paths on the field only 2 times. The previous meeting took place at the end of September 2024 in Bergamo. The result, by the way, surprised almost the entire football community. The "Larians", who had just been promoted to Italy's top division, managed to defeat Atalanta with a score of 3-2, despite their victory being rated with odds of 6.50.

🔵 Como

Como is confidently moving up the standings. The Serie A newcomer, with 22 points, is positioned in thirteenth place, and this is certainly not the limit. The team's recent results have played a significant role in this progress. Cesc Fabregas' players have delivered a series of excellent matches, and on January 20th, they secured a convincing victory over Udinese (4-1). Such a grand success was not hindered by the relatively early red card of the main central defender Edoardo Goldaniga (in the 57th minute). The players acquired this winter also have a positive impact on the results. For instance, Maxence Caqueret provided an assist in the match against Milan, and Assane Diao has already scored 2 goals. Ahead of the upcoming clash, Como will not be able to count on the suspended Italian defender, as well as Sergi Roberto and Dele Alli.

⚪ Atalanta

The crushing success over Sturm in the 7th round of the Champions League (5-0) should not influence the betting choice for the next match. The Austrian club clearly does not match Atalanta's level. Gian Piero Gasperini's team has been playing extremely uncertainly lately, unable to win in four consecutive domestic league games. In the previous round, for example, Atalanta suffered a home defeat to Napoli (2-3), increasing their gap from first place to 7 points. Moreover, it must be acknowledged that the "Queen of the Provincials" did not show themselves well in attack on foreign soil. Regarding the upcoming clash, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 4 players, including main defender Isak Hien (due to an accumulation of yellow cards).

⚽️ Prediction on Goals

The upcoming match between Como and Atalanta should be one of the most productive in the 22nd round of the Italian championship. Both teams advocate attacking football and rarely abandon their style of play. In 6 out of their last 7 matches, Cesc Fabregas' players have scored at least once - only an away game against formidable Inter was an exception (0-2). Atalanta, in turn, has scored 46 goals, which is the second-best in Serie A. In this situation, a bet on both teams to score (yes) can be made.

🚩 Prediction on Corners

Playing in an aggressive attacking manner does not necessarily mean that the team will frequently appear at the corner flag. Como and Atalanta perfectly illustrate this situation, ranking only eleventh and ninth in this statistical category in Serie A. Their average total corners are 4.7 and 4.8 respectively. In this situation, one can opt for total corners under 10.

📝 Editorial Prediction

According to bookmakers, Atalanta is a clear favorite in the upcoming clash. However, we disagree with them on this matter. Firstly, the "Queen of the Provincials" is in dismal form. In a stretch of their last 6 matches, Gian Piero Gasperini's team won only once, defeating not the strongest opponent in Sturm (5-0). Secondly, Como plays very decently at home. Since the start of the championship, the "Larians" have lost only 3 times, taking points even from Roma (2-0) and Bologna (2-2). Moreover, it should not be forgotten that in the first round Cesc Fabregas' team managed to defeat Atalanta away (3-2). With the support of their home fans, they should play no worse. Our betting option is Como to win with a handicap (+1). We dare to assume that the upcoming encounter will also end with a score of 3-2.
