Team Form and Analysis for Udinese
Domestic Form and Positioning
Udinese, under the guidance of Kosta Runjaic, have shown flashes of quality this season but are still seeking consistent form, particularly at home. They currently occupy a mid-table spot, sitting on 12 points. Their recent domestic form is a mixed bag: a crucial 3-2 home win against Lecce was followed by a 3-1 away defeat to a revitalised Juventus side. The team has demonstrated a decent ability to score, netting an average of 1.36 goals per match, but their defense remains a concern, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. Their setup, often a 3-5-2, relies on wing-back width and the central pairing to anchor the midfield.
Key Player: Keinan Davis
The attack is often spearheaded by forward Keinan Davis, who has proven his goalscoring credentials this term. His physical presence and ability to hold up the ball make him a vital focal point for Udinese’s attacking transitions. If he can exploit any spaces behind Atalanta’s wing-backs, he could prove decisive.
Team Form and Analysis for Atalanta
Domestic Form and European Performance
Atalanta arrives in Udine as the Serie A’s drawing specialists, a tag that encapsulates their season so far. They are remarkably undefeated in the league this season (2 wins, 7 draws, 0 losses) but their inability to turn draws into wins has prevented a stronger climb up the table. Their current 13 points place them just ahead of Udinese. The Orobici boast one of the best defensive records in the league, having conceded an average of only 0.78 goals per match. However, the attack, which averages 1.25 goals, has lacked the clinical edge that defined their previous high-flying seasons. In European competition, Atalanta are also struggling with stalemates, having recently recorded a 0-0 draw in the UEFA Champions League, highlighting a continent-wide issue with securing maximum points.
Key Player: Ademola Lookman
Winger Ademola Lookman remains one of the most dynamic attacking threats for the visiting side. After scoring a crucial equaliser in their last domestic draw, his pace, trickery, and willingness to shoot from range offer the best chance to break down a resilient Udinese defense. His individual brilliance will be key to unlocking a potential victory away from Bergamo.
Head-to-Head Record
The recent history heavily favors the visiting side from Bergamo. Udinese have struggled significantly against Atalanta in recent years, failing to secure a win in their last 15 league meetings. This psychological hurdle will be a major factor in the upcoming contest. Over the last six encounters across all competitions, Udinese have managed four draws and suffered two defeats.

Players to Watch
The match is likely to be a tight tactical contest, and the outcome may hinge on individual moments of brilliance from key personnel on both sides.
For Udinese:
Nicolò Zaniolo: The attacking midfielder has recently found the net and his creative drive and powerful running from midfield will be crucial in linking the defense with the attack and providing service for the main striker. His ability to draw fouls and create free-kick opportunities could also be a major asset.
Lazar Samardžić: The young Serbian midfielder provides creativity and vision from the center of the pitch. His passing range and technical skill in tight areas are essential for Udinese to bypass Atalanta’s high-pressure system.
For Atalanta:
Nikola Krstović: A potent threat in front of goal, Krstović’s instinct in the box will be vital if Atalanta are to break their frustrating run of draws. His movement and finishing ability make him a constant menace to opposition center-backs.
Marten de Roon: The experienced Dutch midfielder is the defensive shield and engine room of the Atalanta midfield. His work rate, tactical intelligence, and ball recovery skills will be instrumental in stifling Udinese’s central attacks and quickly turning defense into offense.
Prediction
This match presents a classic clash of styles: a potent but inconsistent Udinese side against a defensively solid but draw-heavy Atalanta. The historical head-to-head record puts significant pressure on the home side. While Udinese have a home advantage and have shown they can score, Atalanta’s superior defensive structure and undefeated record suggest they are incredibly hard to break down. The visitors will likely dominate possession and territory, but Udinese’s counter-attacking potential means they cannot be underestimated. Given Atalanta’s recent form of continuous stalemates and Udinese’s recent goalscoring efforts at home, a low-scoring draw seems the most probable outcome.
Predicted Score: Udinese 1 – 1 Atalanta
