Sunday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me remain in Serie A, and I’ve highlighted another goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Monza vs Atalanta
🇮🇹 Serie A
⏰ Sunday 8 October, 14:00
Goals could be in the offing at the U-Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon as newly-promoted Monza entertain Atalanta in Serie A.
Ivan Juric’s visitors have scored an impressive 17 goals across their opening 10 matches since their return to the Italian top flight, with nine (53%) of them coming across their four home fixtures.
The Biancorossi have found the back of the net in all 10 (100%) of their league clashes this term – scoring on multiple occasions in 3/4 (75%) of their home clashes – and will look to maintain their goal-scoring record against an Atalanta defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last eight Serie A encounters, shipping 19 goals.
Maurizio Sarri’s visitors have scored 16 goals across their opening 10 Serie A contests this campaign, with 11 (69%) of them coming across their last five matches.
La Dea have blanked just twice in Serie A this term – scoring on multiple occasions in four of their last five – and will be expected to breach a Monza backline that has recorded a solitary shutout this season, shipping 24 goals.

Bet of the Day
Given the rate at which both of these sides are conceding goals, coupled with the regularity they are getting on the scoresheet, I’m expecting a high-scoring encounter here with both teams contributing.
Monza’s opening 10 matches since promotion back to the Italian top flight have averaged an eye-catching 4.10 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score paying out in nine (90%) of them, whilst 90 (90%) have also gone Over 2.5 Goals.
Atalanta’s opening 10 Serie A contests this campaign have averaged a slightly more impressive 3.60 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score paying out in seven (70%) of them – including in four of their past five – whilst eight (80%) have gone Over 2.5 Goals.
- Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals
- Pays 4/5 (bet365)
