Udinese take on the visitors Atalanta in the round 9 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, October 9th at Dacia Arena (Udine).
Udinese after the "golden" times of Di Natale fell into the middle of the table. The last mentors were forced to fight for survival, but they did it successfully. So Cioffi, who replaced Gotti during the last season, brought 12th place. But still, in Friuli they relied on a new mentor, also not particularly promoted - Sottil. And with him, the "zebras" simply shocked everyone with a powerful start. More precisely, just in the first rounds they had misfires: 2-4 with Milan on the road, 0-0 at home with Salernitana. After that, it turned out to win against everyone - at the moment the team has a pleasant series of victories. The impudent challenger took the maximum with Fiorentina and Roma, and before the pause for the national teams, they took a strong-willed 3-1 with Inter. Against Verona last Monday, the streak was extended, but Biyol secired 2-1 win only in stoppage time.

Atalanta, such an impression, were able to overcome the crisis and return to the top. Most importantly, the board continues to trust Gasperini. And Gian Piero was able to find a way to redesign the Goddess football, and it again gives high results. No defeats, points were shared only with Milan and, unexpectedly, Cremonese. Did not become a problem and a pause for the games of national teams. After it, on Sunday, Fiorentina were hosted at home. And they were able to win, albeit not without difficulties: Lukman scored the only goal. Note that this time Malinovsky came out only as a substitute in the 74th minute. However, now Atalanta has traditionally high competition for starting line-up, and the mentor is taking full advantage of the opportunity to actively rotate the squad. And it allows them to achieve high results. They go to Calcio as leaders, sharing 1st place with Napoli.
Udinese last won a head-to-head in 2017. After that, Atalanta had 7 wins in 9 matches, however, in the last 2 draws, it was possible for the Zebras to take at least in a draw. Bookmakers are waiting for a match for 3 outcomes - the forces are approximately equal. Spectacular football is also expected, but the parties will be more focused on the result. We bet on "over than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
