Atalanta To Secure Much-Needed Victory At Home
Atalanta have far more motivation to win this match than Monza, who have nothing significant to play for other than league position. A win for the home team will guarantee fifth and Europa League qualification, while a draw or defeat would leave them vulnerable to being overtaken by Roma and Juventus.
Home form has been an issue at times for Atalanta in 2022-23, but they have improved of late, winning three of their last four at Gewiss Stadium. It’s no surprise to see them as favourites in Atalanta vs Monza odds.
At 4/6, there is good value backing the home team to take all three points.

Atalanta To Take Early Lead
Of Atalanta’s 18 wins this season, they have been leading at half-time on 10 occasions. Monza might be unbeaten in their last six away matches, but they were defeated 2-0 when these teams met earlier this season, and they were 1-0 down at half-time in their last away fixture.
The lure of European football in 2023-24 should fire up this Atalanta team. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side clearly have superior talent in this matchup, and they will look to start strongly.
Monza lost to Lecce last weekend and might struggle to get into the game if they fall behind in the first 20 minutes or so. While the visitors have had an excellent season after promotion, it is a big ask to resist this Atalanta team.
The hosts taking a first half lead and converting that into a win is one of our favourite Atalanta vs Monza predictions for the final weekend of the Serie A season.

Referee Set For Busy 90 Minutes
We’re expecting a combative game on Sunday. Only four teams have been shown more cards than Monza this season, and just six teams make more tackles than Atalanta.
Monza have seen over 3.5 cards in four of their last six fixtures. For Atalanta, it is two of their previous three matches in Serie A.
There was only two total cards when these sides clashed in September, but Marco Di Bello has been appointed as the referee for this match, and he has been of being one of Italian football’s stricter referees.
Di Bello averages over 29 fouls per match, and has shown 52 yellow cards across his 10 matches officiated in Serie A this season. Going over on cards when he has the whistle is usually a good Serie A tip.
Over 3.5 total cards is one of the best Atalanta vs Monza tips this weekend. If four or more cards are shown in the match, this bet wins.
