ATALANTA PREVIEW: BRILLIANCE IN BERGAMO
After a turbulent summer, the 2023/24 UEFA Europa League winners started the season slowly but have since turned themselves around and the Bergamasci now come into this one on the back of an impressive and relentless run of form.
The genius of Gian Piero Gasperini oversaw a 2-0 defeat of Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League in midweek and that impressive result in Germany means they are now unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions, conceding just two goals in that time.
UDINESE PREVIEW: NEW FOCUS ON UDINESE
Over the summer, after narrowly avoiding the drop on the final day of last season, the Pozzo family seemingly turned their attention back away from Watford to Udinese and now, coached by former Legia Warsaw boss Kosta Runjaic, they have been much-improved.
The Friulians begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just outside of the top seven and the European spots but they have suffered from a difficult recent run of form with three defeats in their last four matches.

ATALANTA VS UDINESE PREDICTION
Udinese will go to Bergamo and try to attack. They have a bit of variation to the way they play with a typical ‘big man’ in Keinan Davis as well as some other floaty attackers like Florian Thauvin. They are struggling for a bit of consistency and rhythm at the moment, though, as they now take on what is a genuinely rampant Atalanta side that must be firm favourites to put the pressure on Napoli and Internazionale at the top-of-the-table.
