Atalanta welcome Monza at Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo on Sunday, Feb 21 at 6:30 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Atalanta come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Monza travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Atalanta head into this on the back of a defeat, while Monza arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

History strongly favours Atalanta here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Monza. Their last encounter ended in Atalanta won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Atalanta a slight edge, but Monza are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
