🇮🇹 Monza vs Atalanta 🇮🇹 — Prediction
Serie A · Matchday 11 · Sun, 08 Nov 2026, 15:00 CET · U-Power Stadium, Monza
Win probability
- Expected goals
- 1.30 – 1.62
- Both teams score
- 59%
Why we called it
Atalanta still have more quality, but they are winless in five, have a long injury list (Scamacca, Raspadori, Hien, Kossounou) and play Kairat in the Conference League on Thursday. Monza's league top scorer Varela should find a way past a weakened defence.

Form
Monza are 18th on 7 points (2W 1D 7L, 17-24), but Varela leads the league with nine goals. Atalanta are 13th on 11 points (16-20) and have gone five without a win, the last a heavy home defeat to Parma.
Context
Atalanta host Kairat in the Conference League on Thursday, then go away on Sunday. Sarri, in his first season at Atalanta, has spoken of the team's 'emotional fragility'. Juric's Monza see a wounded Atalanta in a Lombardy derby.
What's at stake
Monza need points to get out of the bottom three; Atalanta need a win to stop their crisis.
Betting market
Monza 3.44, draw 4.01, Atalanta 2.10; over 2.5 1.63. The market agrees with the model on an Atalanta lean and expects goals.
From the model to the call
Model 1.25-1.80 → 1.30-1.62: Atalanta come down for Thursday's game, the missing Scamacca and Raspadori and their slump, and Monza go up slightly because Hien and Kossounou are out.
