Crotone vs Atalanta Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Crotone v Atalanta
Italian Serie A
Date: Saturday, October 31, 2024
Starts at 14pm UK
Venue: Stadio Ezio Scida.

After intense midweek action in the UEFA Champions League against Ajax, the Atalanta squad will return to their domestic duties on Saturday.

Dea will visit the Ezio Scida stadium to face newcomers to Crotone's elite squad.

The owners of this match are not doing well in the qualifying phase, but the 1-1 draw with Juventus at this stadium was certainly an incentive for the next matches.

Interestingly, that's the only point they've scored so far, so Atalanta's low odds of 1,40 to win this clash should come as no surprise to anyone.

• A total of 21 goals were scored in all previous matches, averaging just over 2,50 per game.

Crotone vs Atalanta Prediction

Local coach Giovanni Stroppa certainly has a headache caused by a terrible defense. His team conceded 15 goals in five games so far, the highest number in the league. It looks like this club didn't use the transfer window in a good way, as last season's squad didn't change much.

The best performing player so far is striker Simeon Nwankwo, 28, who scored two goals. Crotone were beaten 2-4 by Cagliari last weekend.

After a furious start, Atalanta took a short break this month. Gian Pierro Gasperini's team occupies sixth place with nine points, four behind leaders AC Milan. They suffered a shock 1-3 defeat at home last weekend to Sampdoria, so this is a good chance to bounce back. We will be rooting for La Dea to win the match, but we will also concede at least one goal.

Crotone vs Atalanta betting tips:

• Away win and both teams will score @ 2,37

• Over 3,5 goals at 1,90.
