Como vs Atalanta Prediction
Cesc Fabregas’ Como enjoyed a dramatic 4-1 hammering of Udinese last week in a game in which both sides had a man sent off. Como had been dealing with injuries, most notably to key man Nico Paz, but still maintained a very impressive attacking threat. They now face an Atalanta side that halted a slide by annihilating Sturm Graz by five goals to nil in the UEFA Champions League in midweek as Gian Piero Gasperini’s Bergamasci are challenging for the Scudetto. These are two of the most entertaining teams in Serie A with a high-scoring encounter expected for this one this weekend.
Como vs Atalanta Tip: Over 2.5 goals
