These two sides have enjoyed very different seasons but these Atalanta vs. Monza predictions suggest that it will be La Dea that rounds off the campaign in winning style – although it may not be an easy ride.
Atalanta vs. Monza odds
1 – Atalanta to win – 1/2
2 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 8/15
3 – Both teams to score – 4/6
4 – Rasmus Højlund to score at anytime – 11/10
5 – Atalanta to score over 2.5 goals – 6/4
Even though Atalanta have secured European football for the sixth time in seven years, this season still feels like something of a disappointment. There have been far too many defeats and poor performances for Gian Piero Gasperini to be completely happy with his players.
He has even suggested that it may be time for him to leave the club. But he will be going into this last game of the season intending to win three more points and consolidate fifth place and a Europa League berth.
The game against Inter last weekend was lost within the first three minutes – and it is those lapses of concentration that Gasperini would be most annoyed with. His players should respond this week and see the season off with a bang, that’s why a bet on a high-scoring game could pay dividends.
Monza will not be making up the numbers on Sunday though. There is still a chance that Europa Conference League football could be won, so three points at the Gewiss Stadium will be very much still on Raffaele Palladino’s mind too.
He has seen an astonishing transformation at Monza this season, after taking over after just six games, when the newly promoted club had picked up one, solitary point. A top-half finish at that stage would have been unthinkable.
There has actually only been one defeat since the beginning of March now and Monza’s players will be keen to keep going until the final whistle blows this weekend. That should ensure a good game for the fans – but it should still finish with Atalanta picking up the points.

Atalanta team news
Gian Piero Gasperini has had to put up with his fair share of injuries to top players this season but should be able to field Ademola Lookman at some point this weekend – even if it isn’t from the start. Marco Sportiello will be making his last appearance for Atalanta after signing a deal to join Milan.
Monza team news
Raffaele Palladino should field a largely unchanged line-up on Sunday. Although he may start with Stefano Sensi, after he came on as sub last weekend. Whatever the result, there will probably be a number of changes later on as squad players get a run out on the last day of the season.
