*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Monza picked up a useful point at Bologna (0-0) last weekend and that draw was a welcome one following back-to-back defeats against Torino and Napoli. However, despite their performance at Bologna, Monza have been given just a 20.8% chance of beating Atalanta on Sunday by the bookmakers.
Atalanta meanwhile, should have a real kick in their step after their two-legged victory over Premier League giants Liverpool on Thursday evening, though there could be a physical and emotional hangover to contend with after their efforts. For that reason, we’ve leaned on goal market options in our football betting tips for the game.

Monza preview: Akro serving a ban this weekend
Andrea Carboni and Dany Mota are both in the treatment room while Jean Akpa Akpro is suspended and won't be involved on Sunday either. Monza will be determined to land a top ten finish before the end of the season.

Atalanta preview: Scalvini is visitor’s only absentee
Key defender Giorgio Scalvini has a hamstring injury and won't be available on Sunday, though La Dea have few personnel issues to contend with beyond that. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini could be tempted to make some changes to his XI following Atalanta's midweek efforts.
Predicted lineup: Musso – Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac – Zappacosta, Ederon, de Roon, Ruggeri – Koopmeiners, Miranchuk, Scamacca

Player to watch – Gianluca Scamaaca
Italian international striker Gianluca Scamacca has been a player reborn since returning to his homeland from West Ham and the 25-year-old is in the midst of a superb purple patch in front of goal.
Scamacca to star again?
Scamacca has scored an impressive seven goals in nine appearances in all competitions and despite not registering, the centre-forward put in another accomplished all-round performance against Liverpool on Thursday evening. Scamacca scored twice against Monza in September and he could be one to track in the anytime goalscorer market again this weekend.
