Atalanta BC are looking to add wins in their Serie A campaign, as they face Como FC, who have yet to taste a win in the Serie A. Heading into this match, these two squads have a different journey in the Serie A since the start of the season. Atalanta have two wins and two losses in their Serie A campaign, which puts them at the ninth of the league table with six points. Moreover, Atalana are coming from a win before this match which gives them the confidence here. Meanwhile, it is the opposite for Como, as they remain to be winless in their Serie A campaign. In fact, Como are at the 19th of the league table, having only two points in their campaign. The meeting between these two teams is on September 24, 2024, at 2:45 AM (GMT+8).
Atalanta BC
Atalanta faced Arsenal in a tense tactical match, but the La Dea fans may have felt more frustrated at not taking maximum points. Marco Carnesecchi made a save, but David Raya’s spot-kick heroics denied Mateo Retegui the winner. Last season’s Europa League winners secured a valuable point on their Champions League return, beating Viola 3-2 in Bergamo. They now have six points from four Serie A matches. Atalanta’s versatile attack, renowned for neat passing, has helped them score the most headed goals this term. They could now win back-to-back matches for the first time this season, as they welcome visitors they traditionally win on home turf.
Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini may make changes to his squad after a big shift against Arsenal and a trip to Bologna. He may rest Ademola Lookman or Mateo Retegui, while Marco Brescianini, Lazar Samardzic, and Nicolo Zaniolo are vying for promotion. Raoul Bellanova and Odilon Kossounou are also in contention.
Como FC
Como, currently in 18th place in the Serie A standings, leads the overall head-to-head with seven wins and five losses across 19 previous meetings. Despite being promoted from the second tier last season, the Lariani had to renovate their Stadio Sinigaglia headquarters, resulting in their first three league games being played away from home. Despite a two-goal lead against Bologna, they let it slip in the last 20 minutes. Como is hoping to put pressure on Atalanta’s vulnerable defence, as they are expected to face Bergamo in the upcoming top flight for the first time in 21 years. The Lariani’s recent home renovations have caused them to lose a two-goal lead against Bologna.
Como are missing Raphael Varane and Alberto Dossena due to a calf strain. Andrea Belotti’s return is uncertain, and Nico Paz will support Patrick Cutrone. Sergi Roberto will run the visitors’ engine room.
