Atalanta vs Spezia Prediction & Match Preview
Atalanta vs Spezia Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Coppa Italia on Thursday, 19 January 2023.
Atalanta have always been a contender for a top-four finish in the Italian top flight, and they have shown justice to that tag this time around as well. They are in great form, and are determined to make a deep run in the Coppa Italia.
Meanwhile, Spezia are placed 15th in a table of 20 in the Serie A, and have just three league wins to their name in the past five months. Moreover, they have a worrying record on the road as well.
It goes without saying that Atalanta have a phenomenal h2h record against this opponent. In fact, they have a 100% unbeaten record this past decade, and barring two draws, they have a 100% winning record. They also scored two or more goals in all but one encounter so far.
Atalanta are in great form, and are at home. They also have a near-perfect h2h record against this rival over the last ten years. Moreover, Spezia have a 100% losing record on the road this season in all competitions, barring just two fixtures.
Atalanta easily have the edge this Thursday.
Atalanta always have been one of the best offensive teams in the Serie A. This season, only three teams managed to score more than them in the league.
Moreover, they scored 13 goals from the last four h2h clashes combined, and Spezia have just a single clean sheet to their name on the road since April 2022. Anticipate a high-scoring affair this Thursday.
Not once have Spezia failed to score on the road after the World Cup break, while their counterparts for the day are yet to register a clean sheet after the season resumed. Moreover, the last four h2h meetings in a row had goals from both teams as well.
Likely, chances are high for goals to come from either end of the pitch this game week.
Spezia, who are placed in the bottom-most tier of the table, and who have been a mess on the road all through 2022-23, stand no chance at all this Thursday. As such, a -1.5 Asian Handicap on Atalanta, at an odd of 2.10 seems to be the optimal choice.
And on that same note, expect goals in plenty at the Gewiss Stadium. The hosts are fresh off an 8-2 win, and have always scored in plenty in h2h meetings. The Over 2.5 Match Goals at an odd of 1.67 is a good pick.
