Udinese vs Atalanta prediction and betting tips on January 11, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 20th round of Serie A Italy on January 11, 2025, Udinese will face Atalanta. To maintain their leadership, the visitors from Bergamo need nothing less than a victory at Friuli.
Prediction for Udinese vs Atalanta
The "Zebras" showed their typical results last season. They finished 15th, collecting 37 points, just two more than Frosinone, who were relegated. In contrast, Atalanta experienced only one setback — an elimination from the Coppa Italia. However, they compensated with a fourth-place finish in Serie A and, notably, a Europa League triumph.
This season, Gasperini's side continues to look strong, although the start wasn’t flawless. Returning to the Champions League, they secured three victories and 11 points, effectively guaranteeing a spot in the playoffs. In Serie A, "La Dea" ended 2024 as league leaders. They’re also competing in the Coppa Italia, where they crushed Cesena 6-1. However, in the Supercoppa Italiana, they fell short against Inter, returning home empty-handed.
Udinese has been under coach Runjaic since the summer. He started impressively with three wins and 10 points in the first four matches. But by mid-December, the team had only added the same amount of points. A late surge saw them defeat Fiorentina and draw 2-2 with Torino. Yet, in the Coppa Italia, they lost 0-2 to Inter. They also shared points with Verona in a goalless draw.
