Atalanta Have Been Inconsistent

Atalanta have been inconsistent as of late and over their last three games they have lost two of them. Atalanta in the last game faced off against Fiorentina and they were able to secure the 3-2 victory. The offense looked good but there has to be some real concern about the defense and the way they played. Atalanta had 52 percent of the possession and seven shots on target. They actually fell behind in that game but the three goals in the first half were enough. Atalanta is dealing with some injjury issues heading into this game including Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini. In this game Atalanta is going to need the defense to be good or this will be a long game. 

Arsenal Defense Impressed

Arsenal faced off against Tottenham Hotspur in the last game and the defense really stepped up giving up zero goals and that was enough for the victory. Gabriel Maghlhas scored in the 64th minute and that was the difference. Arsenal had 36 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Declan Rice is back from suspension but there are still some major injury issues concerning this team. Captian Martin Odegaard is dealing with an ankle injury and he’s going to be sidelined for this game. Mikel Merino is dealing with a shoulder injury also and it doesn’t look like he’s going ot be able to go in this game. 

Atalanta vs Arsenal Prediction

This game is going to be higher scoring. Arsenal’s offense is good, and they are going to put on a show here with the offense. Atalanta’s defense is a major issue and they are going to really struggle to defend here. Atalanta is going to is going to score a couple of goals though, against Arsenal defense. Both teams are going to score at least two goals and this game is going to go over the total.
