Over 2.5 Goals
With match result market odds holding little value, our first Atalanta vs Spezia prediction recommends a dip into the goals domain instead, where over 2.5 goals is available to back at a favourable twice. La Dea and Spezia have already met twice this term and at least four goals rattled the net on each occasion. Atalanta hammered Spezia 5-2 at the Gewiss Stadium in the Coppa Italia in January and another convincing win could be in the offing on Wednesday. Expect more excitement when these teams collide for the final time this season.
Rasmus Hojlund to Score Anytime
For the second of our football betting tips today, we’re backing Danish hotshot Rasmus Hojlund to etch his name on the scoresheet. The 20-year-old, who is being watched closely by a number of top teams around Europe, has already scored twice against Spezia this season and his prowess in the final third should make him one to watch again when the sides face off on Wednesday.

Atalanta vs Spezia Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Atalanta vs Spezia lineups and team news for Wednesday’s encounter below.
Atalanta
Atalanta will be without the services of Matteo Ruggeri, Ademola Lookman, Brandon Soppy, Caleb Okoli and Hans Hateboer. Lukas Vorlicky is a doubt in midfield meanwhile. La Dea scored late on to snatch a victory at Torino last time out, though they need to keep the good results coming to land a place in the top six.
Predicted Lineup for Atalanta: Sportiello – Toloi, Djimsiti, Scalvini – Maehle, Ederson, de Roon, Zappacosta – Koopmeiners, Pasalic, Hojlund
Spezia
João Moutinho has a muscle complaint and is a doubt for Atalanta this week, while Peter Zovko has been ruled out. Defender Emil Holm won't play again this season while attacker M'Bala Nzola and Daniel Maldini are both in the treatment room, severely blunting Spezia's options in the final third.
Predicted Lineup for Spezia: Dragowski – Amian, Wisniewski, Ampadu, Bastoni – Ekdal, Esposito, Kovalenko – Gyasi, Verdi, Shomurodov
Player to Watch – Davide Zappacosta
Davide Zappacosta grabbed a goal and an assist in Atalanta’s 2-1 win at Torino at the weekend, doubling his tally in both departments for the campaign in the process. The experienced 30-year-old will be determined to provide thrust down La Dea’s left flank from his position at wing-back again on Wednesday.
