Monza vs Atalanta prediction: Comfortable win for the visitors
Key stats
- Bottom-ranked Monza are 12 points from safety with four matches to play.
- Only four other teams in Serie A history have collected fewer points than Monza’s 15 after 34 games.
- Atalanta have an emphatic 100% H2H league win record, with an aggregate score of 14-3 in five wins.
- La Dea boast the best away record this Serie A campaign (W11, D3, L3).
Correct score prediction: Monza 0-2 Atalanta
Monza face near-certain relegation heading into the weekend, their fate all but sealed. With no goals in their last three league matches, they look ill-equipped to trouble an Atalanta side chasing their highest-ever Serie A finish. La Dea should dispatch the Biancorossi comfortably in this mismatch.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Massive odds back La Dea
- HOME: 10/1 (11.00) – 9.1%
- DRAW: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.4%
- AWAY: 2/9 (1.22) – 81.9%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Monza risk setting an unwanted club record as they stare down a potential sixth straight Serie A defeat – something they’ve never suffered before. Their dismal form (one goal in five consecutive losses) explains their long 10/1 odds, i.e. 9.1% win probability against high-flying Atalanta.
The visitors arrive with European ambitions burning bright. Unbeaten in three and holding a three-point cushion over Juventus, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men boast an overwhelming 81.9% chance of victory, according to bookmakers, as they look to cement their top-four position.

Most recent H2Hs: One-sided affair
Atalanta boast an unbeaten record in their five Serie A meetings with Monza, winning every encounter while consistently scoring multiple goals. The Biancorossi’s solitary victory against La Dea dates back to the 1999/00 Serie B campaign – a distant memory that offers little comfort.
