Udinese v Atalanta Team News

When either of these two teams take to the field, goals can be expected. 67% of both teams games this term have ended with both teams scoring (every Atalanta away match). Udinese are having a goal-fuelled Serie A campaign so far, for better or worse, as 6 of their last 7 league games have ended with over 2.5 goals (total).

There is no particular danger man for Udinese this season, as their top scorer only has 2 goals to his name (K. Lasagna) despite the team scoring 16 goals.

The head-to-head favours Udinese with 3 wins and 3 draws out of the last 6 played. The hosts have managed 2+ goals in their last 3 home games and are unbeaten vs Atalanta in 8.

Udinese manager Luigi Delneri has got a bit of a conundrum in defence to deal with ahead of this fixture. After conceding 6 at home last week to Juventus, he now must deal with the absence of arguably his strongest defenders, Bram Nuytinck (injured) and Samir (suspended).

Teams' Possible Starting Lineups:

Udinese: Bizzarri - Adnan, Angella, Danilo, Larsen - Jankto, Behrami, Barak - Paul, Lopez, Lasagna (4-3-3 formation)

Atalanta: Berisha - Masiello, Caldara, Toloi - Spinazzola, Cristante, Freuler, Hateboer - Gomez, Ilicic - Petagna (3-4-2-1 formation)

Missing Players of Udinese and Atalanta:

Udinese: Bram Nuytinck, Samir.

Atalanta: No missing players.
