Udinese eye rare win over Atalanta in Sunday's Serie A clash.
As Atalanta hosts Udinese at Gewiss Stadium this Sunday, expectations mount with Atalanta's impressive winning streak poised against Udinese's determination to reclaim form, promising a clash of aspirations and historic rivalries.
Atalanta
Atalanta head into the weekend riding high after securing a hard-fought 2-0 victory against Stuttgart in the Champions League. Second-half goals from Ademola Lookman and substitute Nicolò Zaniolo ensured La Dea earned their second win in the competition.
"It is the way this win came about that gives us confidence," Gian Piero Gasperini said after the win. The Italian manager added, "We are in high spirits for the match against Udinese," hoping his team will carry on their impressive form into the domestic front.
While Atalanta have enjoyed success in the UCL, they are also in top form in Serie A. Gasperini’s side have recorded comfortable wins in their last five league games, with a 3-0 thrashing of league leaders Napoli last weekend being the latest in their impressive winning streak.
The result pushed Atalanta further up the standings to third, with 22 points, just two points adrift of second-placed Inter and three behind Napoli at the summit. With the top two facing each other this weekend, Atalanta will aim to secure all three points on Sunday, knowing a victory could improve their position in the table due to their superior goal difference.
Gasperini will be eager to secure a win, considering his team’s dominant head-to-head record against Udinese. Atalanta have won eight of their last 13 Serie A games against this weekend’s opponents, remaining unbeaten in those encounters, marking their longest current unbeaten run against a Serie A opponent.
Gasperini could retain the 3—4—2—1 formation seen against Stuttgart, with Mateo Retegui in attack.
Udinese
Meanwhile, Udinese, with a recent form of [WLWLL], find themselves in eighth place on the league table. They have accumulated 16 points after 11 games, with a record of [5W, 1D, 5L], following back-to-back league losses. These include a 3-2 defeat to newly promoted Venezia and a 2-0 loss to Juventus in their last outing.
Udinese's manager, Kosta Runjaić, commented on his team's lacklustre start against Juve, which saw them concede two first-half goals, saying, "It's the first time we've started a match so badly." He emphasized, "We need to show more maturity." The White and Blacks now head to Atalanta, hoping to turn their fortunes around with a win.
Historically, Udinese holds a strong record against Atalanta with 27 league wins, only surpassed by their 28 victories against Cagliari. They hope this pedigree will help them secure all three points this weekend. However, they have won just one of their last 16 away league games against Atalanta, with a record of [1W, 8D, 7L].
Lorenzo Lucca and Florian Thauvin are expected to lead the attack in Runjaić’s 3—5—2 formation.
