Match Prediction: Atalanta vs. Como
At home, Atalanta tends to play aggressively and focuses heavily on creating chances. The team rarely leaves the field without scoring, having found the net in their last six home Serie A matches, scoring at least twice in four of those. However, their defense is not as solid, failing to keep a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 home games in the league.
Como also enjoys attacking and regularly scores, even on the road. In their last 14 away Serie A matches, Cesc Fabregas's side failed to breach the defense of only Inter and Bologna, scoring at least two goals in five of those games. However, Como managed to keep a clean sheet in only three of their last 20 away league matches.
I believe both teams will be effective in attack in this match, so my prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
