Serie A, Monday, 09/23/2024 at 8:45 p.m.
The promoted team has spent a lot of money this season and has attracted some big-name investors. I therefore know of very few experts who consider FC Como to be among the potential relegated teams from the 2024/25 Serie A season.
Incidentally, I also don’t think that the “Lariani” will finish the season below the line. But the fixture schedule has been tough on them so far and so I expect another thrashing for the newcomers in my Atalanta Bergamo Como betting tip.
Atalanta, or “La Dea”, as the tifosi affectionately call them, seem to be back on track after a brief period of weakness before the international break. Two defeats in a row seemed to have unsettled them briefly.
But with an impressive 3-2 win against Fiorentina and a not undeserved 0-0 draw against Arsenal, in which the opposing goalkeeper even saved a penalty, the team made an impressive comeback.
Ademola Lookman, who I will come back to later, originally wanted to leave, but in the meantime he has settled in wonderfully again. The Nigerian is the invigorating element in the Bergamasque’s attacking play, which they sorely missed.
Interesting: The 0-0 draw against the Gunners was Atalanta’s first goalless draw since October. This can be seen as the first small indication that I expect a much more goal-scoring performance from the Bergamasques on Monday evening than a few days ago in the Champions League.
Incidentally, coach Gampiero Gasperini can be optimistic about the game against Como. That’s because his team won all three home games against the three Serie A promoted teams last season – and that by 9 goals to 0.
So if you also want to bet on the home advantage and the experience of the Bergamasque team, then the time to download the Betano app would definitely be very favorable.
Como, the team around the experienced Cesc Fàbregas, who not so long ago played for the club himself, has not had an easy time of it this season.
A bitter 2-2 draw against Bologna prevented them from recording their first home win since returning to Serie A, but there have been some bright spots here and there.
Two draws from their last three games and temporarily taking the lead for the first time in 11 games are positive signs to watch out for.
However, the Lombards are currently struggling away from home (1 draw, 4 defeats).
However, in the coming weeks after the match against Bergamo, the fans of the promoted team should be rewarded for their loyalty to the club. They definitely have the potential to secure a place in the middle of the table.
Let’s now turn to the exciting betting opportunities for this game! Como have not won in their last seven games, while Atalanta usually perform strongly at home.
So it’s a no-brainer, right? An Atalanta Bergamo Como tip on “home win” also offers you a solid starting point for a fairly lucrative football bet with odds of 1.50 on average.
Also interesting: Atalanta has scored the most goals in Serie A between the 31st and 45th minute so far.
Here you can beat this tendency of the Bergamasque team with a bet on “Over 0.5 goals between the 30th and 45th minute” at odds of currently 2.25 profit.
And then we have the aforementioned Ademola Lookman. He was back to his best against Fiorentina and scored regularly against promoted sides last season. A bet on Lookman scoring against Como currently promises a promising odds of 2.30.
So if you love the risk of a promising player bet, this is the place to strike. The Atalanta Bergamo Como odds could certainly help you to a juicy payout!
The historical element is also particularly interesting: for the first time in over 21 years, these two northern Italian clubs are meeting again in Serie A.
The long break between the encounters could add extra excitement to the game, but everything points to Atalanta taking advantage of home advantage without too much drama.
Conclusion: All in all, there is a lot to be said for a clear victory for Atalanta, coupled with a high-scoring game. My Atalanta Bergamo Como prediction is therefore: Bergamo wins and over 2.5 goals are scored.
The goalless draw against Arsenal was more a case of bad luck, as Atalanta had plenty of chances, especially through the strong Ademola Lookman.
Against a defensively weak opponent like Como, who have already conceded seven goals, La Dea should be back to full strength this time.
My tip: Atalanta win & over 2.5 goals
