Atalanta vs Como Prediction: Home is where the heart is for La Dea

Atalanta were thwarted by an inspired David Raya in Thursday's Champions League clash with Arsenal and will be hoping to have better luck in front of goal when neighbours Como visit Bergamo on Monday night (19:45 KO).

Read on for the latest odds, team news and my Atalanta vs Como predictions.

Atalanta vs Como Odds

Atalanta are 4/9 to record their fifth league win in their last six home games when they take on Como, who are 6/1 to cause an upset at the home of their Lombardy neighbours. The draw is a 7/2 chance.

Goals tend to be in plentiful supply whenever Atalanta take to the field and it is 8/13 that there are at least three at Gewiss Stadium on Monday, while over 3.5 goals is a 13/8 chance.

Team News

Rafael Toloi, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca are still sidelined for Atalanta, who are also set to be without English centre-back Ben Godfrey due to a back injury.

Como's big summer signing Raphael Varane will miss out again and boss Cesc Fabregas is also sweating on the availability of Alberto Dossena.

Half-Time/Full-Time - Atalanta/Atalanta @ 11/10

It's won two and lost two for Atalanta in Serie A this season, but a home date with Como is a fantastic chance to build on last weekend's 3-2 home win over Fiorentina.

La Dea played their first three matches on the road due to renovation work at the Gewiss Stadium and they are a much more potent force on home turf than they are away from their Bergamo base.

They have lost only three of their last 21 home games in all competitions, winning 15 times in that run, and they are odds-on to see off a Como side who have taken two points from their first four games back in Serie A after 21 years away.

Atalanta have been winning at the break in their last six victories at the Gewiss Stadium and backing the hosts to be ahead at half-time en route to victory looks a decent price at a shade of odds-against.

Bet Builder - Atalanta to win, Charles De Ketelaere to score anytime, over 7.5 total shots on target @ 3/1

Given Atalanta's excellence on their own patch, a home win forms the first leg of a Bet Builder for Monday's Serie A clash.

Belgium international Charles De Ketelaere opened his account for the season with Atalanta's third goal against Fiorentina last weekend and he is fancied to make his mark again.

Ten of the Belgian's 15 goals for Atalanta have come at home.

Lastly, add in the game to feature at least eight shots on target. Atalanta's four league games this term have yielded shots-on-target totals of 10, 16, five and 12, while Como's Serie outings average 7.75 shots on target per game.
