Atalanta & BTTS

Atalanta secured all 3pts against Spezia when these two sides last locked horns in March and on that occasion, both teams got on the scoreboard. We're backing the hosts to repeat their action of last season by beating Spezia this weekend with both teams scoring in the process. Each of Atalanta's last six matches have produced goals at both ends of the pitch, while three of Speezia's last five fixtures have seen both teams score.

Over 3.5 Goals

We're backing over 3.5 goals to be scored in Saturday's clash just like they were when Atalanta beat Spezia 3-1 last season. At least four goals have been scored in four of the host's last six matches in league and cup, so Atalanta are used to being involved in high-scoring matches. Spezia conceded 4-goals in a recent away game against Verona and are expected to suffer yet another defeat on their travels this weekend.

Zapata to Score

Duvan Zapata top scores in Serie A for Atalanta this season with 7-goals, and we're backing the Colombian international to find the back of the net at home to Spezia on Saturday. Zapata takes penalties for the home side and has already converted two spot-kicks this season, just another reason to back the striker to score this weekend.

Atalanta looking to keep pressure on the top three with a win over Spezia

Atalanta were away at Cagliari before the international break where an early goal from Pasalic handed the visitors the lead. Cagliari got back onto level terms in the 27th-minute and it looked like the teams would go in level at the break until Zapata made it 2-1 in the 43rd-minute. That result took Atalanta to within 3pts of 3rd-placed Inter Milan but even a big win this weekend coupled with an Inter defeat is unlikely to move the hosts any higher in the table due to the vast distance between the two club's goal differences.

Spezia need a win to put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone, and they got it at home to Torino. Sala scored the game's only goal in the 58th-minute and it took Spezia onto 11pts and two places above the relegation zone. There is still plenty of work to do, but results like these will help Spezia believe that they can avoid the dreaded drop once again this season.

Atalanta: Matteo Lovato, Robin Gosens and Hans Hateboer are the three main injury concerns for the hosts.
