Udinese vs Atalanta

Current streaks

Recent form

Udinese

Udinese's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding a mixed bag of results. The team have shown resilience, securing two wins, two draws, and suffering two losses in this period. Notably, Udinese have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with four out of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, which has contributed to their negative goal difference. However, the team have shown an ability to find the back of the net regularly, scoring in five of their last six matches. The Friulani have managed to maintain a mid-table position, currently sitting 9th in Serie A, despite their inconsistent form. Their most recent outing, a goalless draw against Hellas Verona, marked their first clean sheet in this six-game stretch, potentially signalling an improvement in their defensive solidity.

Atalanta

Atalanta have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive wins across all competitions before their latest two outings. The Bergamo-based side have been prolific in front of goal, netting an impressive 13 times in their last six matches, highlighted by a high-scoring 6-1 thrashing of Cesena in the Coppa Italia. Despite their attacking prowess, averaging 2.17 goals per game, Atalanta have struggled defensively, keeping only one clean sheet in this period. Their matches have been entertaining affairs, with an average of 3.67 total goals per game and both teams scoring in 67% of their fixtures. Atalanta's strong league position of 2nd place with 41 points from 18 games underscores their overall solid performance, although their recent Super Cup loss to Inter Milan and a narrow defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League suggest they may face challenges against top-tier opposition.

Recent home/away form

Udinese

Udinese's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the team experiencing a challenging period in their last six matches at the Dacia Arena. The Friulians have endured a concerning run of three consecutive defeats, conceding seven goals without reply against Juventus, Genoa, and Napoli. However, prior to this slump, Udinese enjoyed back-to-back victories, keeping clean sheets against both Lecce and Cagliari. Their most recent home fixture saw them halt their losing streak with a high-scoring 2-2 draw against Torino. Despite their struggles, Udinese have managed to maintain a respectable 9th position in Serie A, though their goal difference of -3 and the fact that they've conceded more than they've scored at home (9 vs 6) suggest there's room for improvement in their defensive performances.

Atalanta

Atalanta have been in impressive form away from home, with a notable run of four consecutive victories prior to their recent draw and loss. Their goal-scoring prowess has been particularly evident, netting 13 times in their last six away matches, including a remarkable 6-1 thrashing of BSC Young Boys in the Champions League. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding just five goals and keeping two clean sheets during this period. Despite their recent setback in the Super Cup against Inter Milan, Atalanta's overall away performance has been strong, with two-thirds of their matches seeing under 2.5 goals, suggesting a more controlled approach on the road. Their current league position of 2nd with 41 points from 18 games further underscores their excellent form both home and away.
