Serie A - Atalanta look to win 3 consecutive victories away from Monza


Atalanta, which has achieved outstanding results in the Serie A in the 2022/23 season , will go to the road to fight the newly-promoted Monza in the fifth round of the league, and aim to achieve 3 consecutive victories to attack the top of the standings.


Atalanta , which only finished 8th last season, has successfully been on the right track for the championship since the beginning of this season. In the first 4 rounds, they have achieved 3 wins and 1 draw, including a 3-1 home defeat in the previous round. Dolino won 2 straight. Atalanta currently ranks third in the standings with 10 points, 1 point behind Napoli and defending champion AC Milan, so 3 points in this round will be able to rise to the top of the table.


In addition, the newly-promoted Monza, who joined the Serie A battlefield for the first time, does not seem to have adapted to the rhythm of the game, and the first four rounds are still unwinnable. In the last round, they lost 3-0 to Jose Mourinho's Roma. It should be noted that the owner of Monza Club has built AC Milan's Berlusconi and Galliani, so this season will naturally help the team stay in Serie A.


Although they have never met in Serie A, Atalanta and Monza have played against each other 14 times in Serie B. Atalanta has a slight upper hand with 6 wins, 2 and 5 losses, but only 2 wins, 2 and 3 losses on the road. The distance between the two sides has to be traced back to the Serie B in the 1999/2000 season, when Monza beat Atalanta 1-0 at home.


In terms of lineup, Atalanta has Jim Siti and D-Zapata injured, and their strength has not been affected too much, while Monza has Ranocchia and D'Alessandro still recovering from injuries, but they are on loan from Juventus. Rovira is expected to usher in his debut.


In other games, Salernitana played against Empoli at home, and they won 2 consecutive victories at home, and Dulino played against newly-promoted Lecce at home.
