Atalanta's formidable attack left no chance for Hellas Verona (6:1) last weekend, maintaining their status as the highest-scoring team in the tournament. At home against Monza, they will aim to continue their dominance, especially given that Serie A's underdogs are unlikely to put up significant resistance.
Since the beginning of October, Atalanta have hit top form, securing four wins with an aggregate score of 16:2, extending their unbeaten run to six matches. Although they didn't manage to secure a result in the Champions League against Celtic last week (0:0), their attacking superiority was evident (2.38 xG vs 0.26 xG). Against Hellas Verona, everything clicked: with 2.65 expected goals and 19 shots (10 on target), they quickly took the lead, and Ademola Lookman registered 2+2 in just 56 minutes.
Under Alessandro Nesta, Monza have only managed two wins in 10 matches, one of which was a cup victory over Brescia (3:1). On Sunday, they faltered against Venezia (2:2), who sit at the bottom of the Serie A table. Monza have generated only 6.03 xG, the worst in the league by a significant margin.
In Monza's two seasons in the top division, Atalanta have not dropped a single point in head-to-head encounters, scoring at least two goals in all four meetings. This time, Atalanta are set to showcase their attacking prowess once again.
