Atalanta, coached by the famous coach Gasperini, started the season with some ups and downs, but recently the performance has been warming up, especially after the reversal of the victory over Fiorentina in the last round, the team's morale has been improved. In addition, Atlanta's 0-0 draw with Arsenal in the Champions League showed the solidity of their defense. Atlanta's offense has been exceptionally strong this season, averaging 4 goals in the first few matches.
In terms of key players, Matteo Retegui has already scored four goals this season and is a great offensive threat. Ademola Lukman has been equally impressive, becoming another centerpiece of the team up front.
Atlanta's starting lineup is expected to be as follows: Goalkeeper: Kaneseki Defenders: Kolasinac, Sheehan, Gimcitti Midfielders: Zappacosta, Drowne, Ederson Forwards: Lukman, De Cetelare, Retegui
As a newly promoted
Serie A
Como have not had a good start to the season and have yet to win. Although Cutrone's second goal in the last match helped the team to a 2-2 draw with Bologna, the team's defensive problems are still evident, especially in away matches, where they often concede goals in the latter stages.
Como's core players include midfielder Sergi Roberto and striker Cutrone, who will be key players for Como in trying to create a threat in this match.
Como's starting lineup is expected to be: goalkeeper: Odero Defenders: Alberto Moreno, Kampf, Dossena Midfielders: Sergi Roberto, Peron Forward: Cutrone
Atalanta plays at home and has a strong offense, which will be a huge challenge for Como who has a shaky defense. Although Como has scorers like Cutrone up front, its defense is fragile, especially on the road, and often collapses in the latter stages, which will give Atalanta more chances to break through.
All things considered, Atalanta has a clear advantage at home and is expected to control the pace of the game. Como's defense is likely to crumble under Atlanta's constant pressure, while Como is also likely to create some threats with counterattacks.
Prediction Pick: 3-1 or 2-0
