Best Tip: Atalanta to win

A Serie A victory in front of their own fans for Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Stats suggest they're in strong form across a number of key metrics, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookmakers are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Atalanta win is the way to go, even if a tight match is possible.

Goal Statistics

Atalanta's forwards have been excellent of late, finding the net twice or more in 9 consecutive Serie A games. A PG of 2.3 suggests that run should continue on Sunday evening.

Atalanta's defensive record is to be admired, Gian Piero Gasperini's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Serie A outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Empoli makes sense in this context.
