This Monday’s betting scene is relatively quiet, but we’ve analyzed an interesting matchup in the 20th round of Italy’s Serie A. Atalanta is set to host Frosinone at their home ground. The game is scheduled to start at 8:45 PM.
Atalanta: Can They Secure a Champions League Spot Again?
For years, Atalanta has been performing impressively, consistently playing at a high level. Last season, they achieved their primary goal by finishing in a Europa League spot. This season, the ambitions are higher, with coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s team aiming for a Champions League qualification, a challenging but achievable goal. Atalanta has had a taste of Europe’s premier competition twice in recent years, reaching the quarterfinals in 2020 where they were narrowly beaten by PSG.
This season, Atalanta topped their Europa League group and secured a direct spot in the round of 16, which means they can focus more on the Serie A and the Coppa Italia. They recently achieved a significant victory over AC Milan in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals, with Koopmeiners being the hero of that match.
In Serie A, Atalanta is currently sixth, just three points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina. With three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five league matches, a win against Frosinone could significantly boost their chances of climbing up the table. The return of summer signing Ture from Almeria is expected to bolster their campaign for the remainder of the season.
Frosinone: A Promising Start Followed by a Steep Decline
Frosinone was promoted to Serie A last season, finishing at the top of Serie B. The primary goal for this season is survival in the top flight, but recent performances suggest a tough road ahead. In their last five games, they have suffered four losses and managed only one draw, which places them just four points above the relegation zone.
Frosinone started this season impressively, but things took a turn for the worse following a string of defeats, including a heavy loss to Milan. Interestingly, they pulled off a stunning victory against Napoli in the Coppa Italia but were then defeated by Juventus in the quarterfinals. Their last Serie A match ended in a 3-2 defeat at home against Monza.
Frosinone has struggled particularly in away games, with seven losses and two draws in nine matches, making them the worst away team in Serie A.
Our Suggestion
Atalanta must win this game to stay in contention for a Champions League spot, and we believe they will, especially given Frosinone’s recent struggles. We recommend betting on Atalanta to win, with Mozzartbet offering odds of 1.45.
The match is likely to be high-scoring, so an over 3.5 goals (4+) bet is a solid choice, with odds of 2.60 at Mozzartbet Nigeria.
Finally, expect Atalanta to start aggressively and possibly lead from the first half, making a bet on a halftime/fulltime (HT/FT) win for Atalanta (1-1 HT/FT) a worthwhile option, with odds of 2.06 at Mozzart.
