Serie A, Saturday, 25/01/2025 at 3:00 PM
With a odds boost, you can catapult your potential winnings into the stratosphere at any time. However, you also need a good Como Atalanta Bergamo tip to be able to use it at all. And that’s exactly where I come in.
During the week, you were able to make a killing with my last tip about my favorite winning team anyway. This weekend, however, I expect more resistance from the promoted team than from the Grazers in the Champions League.
All predictions – including the ones I approved from ChatGPT – hit the mark. Yes, even the prediction that Atalanta would score a five-pack. But more on that in a moment.
Let’s start with this Saturday’s challenger: the “Lariani” made a clear statement in Serie A last Monday. With a clear 4-1 win over Udinese, Como gained valuable ground in the relegation battle.
Despite a heated game, which both teams only finished with ten men, the promoted team put in a strong performance that impressively confirmed its general upward trend.
Como eventually collected ten points (3 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats) over the last six Serie A matchdays – an impressive haul for a newly promoted team.
The home side now have the chance to register back-to-back wins for only the second time this term. Their last double victory came in September and, ironically, it began with a 3-2 win over upcoming opponents Atalanta. A good omen, surely?
The prospect of making history is an added incentive: Cesc Fàbregas and his troops could win both Serie A games against the Bergamaschi for the first time since the 1949/50 season.
The conditions at the home Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia could hardly be better. Three wins from their last four home games (1 defeat) speak for the strength of the Lariani at home.
Their late goals are particularly noteworthy – eight goals in their last three home wins, five of them after the 75th minute.
This shows that Como never give up and have the potential to turn games around even in the final minutes.
And indeed, late goals would be extremely welcome on Saturday, as they increase the likelihood of getting my Como Atalanta Bergamo betting tip right in the end!
Guest fans can be confident: the Bergamasks are undefeated in their last eight Serie A away games (5 wins, 3 draws) and have shown that they can consistently score points away from home.
However, their last few performances have raised questions – most recently a goalless draw at Udinese. If they fail to score again next weekend, it would be the first time since December 2023 that Atalanta have gone two consecutive away games without scoring.
The big question will be whether the visitors will be able to muster the necessary concentration for the league again after the emotional highlight in the Champions League against Graz.
Sturm was simply overwhelmed, but is still in the Austrian winter break. The promoted team, on the other hand, will probably be able to offer much more resistance next Saturday.
However, it is not easy to place a profitable Como Atalanta Bergamo tip here, as the good sports betting providers offer little in the way of attack.
The respective Como Atalanta Bergamo odds correspond almost exactly to the percentage probabilities of occurrence, so I will tend to avoid a classic 1X2 bet.
If I had to decide, however, I would probably bet on a draw, since the ratio between odds and potential point sharing in the context of a classic 1X2 bet is probably the best of all.
Specifically, I would go down the route of a “both teams to score” bet at the current odds of 1.70. This is not only due to the five almost evenly distributed goals in the first leg.
Como are currently much more confident than they were at the start of the calendar year and have scored at least one goal in 9 of their 10 Serie A home games.
It should go without saying that the Bergamasken will also score – even if it doesn’t quite end in victory.
After all, we are talking about the second-best offense in the current Serie A with 46 goals. Retegui is also back, and except for Zaniolo, Kossonou and the long-term injured Scamacca, there are no notable absences to complain about.
Conclusion: Atalanta will certainly also be a question of freshness. The many appearances in the Coppa Italia and Champions League league phase are taking a toll on the Bergamaschi’s strength.
Como, on the other hand, are more motivated than ever, and their offensive play is firing like it hasn’t in a long time! Four goals against Udinese in their last home game? Five goals in their last game against Atalanta? No wonder I expect another entertaining game this time around.
My Como-Atalanta tip: Both teams to score.
