AC Milan and Inter Milan collided in the Italian Super Cup, but Napoli and Atalanta are the Italian Serie A standings leaders. Speaking of Atalanta, we’ll focus on the Nerazzurri next challenge because they will visit Udinese, a team that only lost one of its last five games but owns the worst defensive unit in the top 10. In other words, it’s a tricky match!

Top 2 Bets for Udinese vs Atalanta: ATS and Goal Scorer
1. Atalanta ATS -1 (+115)
After 18 games, only one team has scored more goals than Atalanta (43), Inter Milan with 45. Having two of the league’s top scorers has much to do with that. Atalanta’s attacking unit is led by Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman, who have scored 21 goals between the two.
Most recently, Atalanta drew 1-1 against Lazio in the Serie A. That was Atalanta’s fifteenth straight game, scoring at least one goal. Considering the Serie A is well-known for being a defense-first league, that’s impressive!
Talking about impressive things, the Nerazzuri scored 2+ goals in three of their last five road games, including a 3-0 victory over Napoli. As if that weren’t enough, they also kept a clean sheet in three of the last five matches away from home.
Regarding Udinese, the Biaconeri have only lost one of their last five games but have failed to win any of their previous four home matches. That match was against Cagliari, a team closer to the relegation zone than the top 10.
In addition to failing to win any of its last four games at Bluenergy Stadium, Udinese conceded 2.2 goals per game. Remember, Udinese conceded 28 goals in 19 games, the worst record among the best 13 teams in the league.
The best part about including Atalanta ATS in your soccer betting picks is that the price is way better than the moneyline (-155). Yes, it’s a bit riskier because the Nerazzurri must win by two goals, but again, we’re talking about two teams with a 16-point gap in between.
Bet This Pick: Atalanta ATS -1 (+115)
2. Anytime Goalscorer: Ademola Lookman (+175)
Mateo Retegui has scored 12 goals, enough to be Atalanta’s top scorer, but the center-striker hasn’t scored since late November. That’s six games, in all competitions, without scoring.
On the other hand, Ademola Lookman has scored nine goals, three in the last six games. Most recently, the Nigerian scored in the 3-2 victory over Empoli. He also scored against Real Madrid and AC Milan. He isn’t scared, so it’s no wonder he was named African Footballer of the Year.

Also, Retegui offers a +130 price at BetUS sportsbook, while Lookman is +175. Throwing Lookman into a parlay can make a huge difference!
Honestly, I’m not expecting Udinese to score, but if you want to defy the odds, the best bet is Florian Thauvin at +450. The Frenchman has scored five goals, only two less than Lorenzo Lucca. The problem with Lucca is that he’s on the verge of a transfer, which means he could not even play.
Go with Lookman for your soccer player prop pick in this game.
