Como vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting Tips (1 February)

A team that is rising on the other side of the Alps, Como is currently 6th in Serie A and is 3 points behind 4th place, qualifying for the next Champions League. With confidence, Cesc Fabregas' men have won 5 of their last 7 league matches, for 1 draw and 1 defeat. Beaten at home by AC Milan 1-3, they then achieved convincing successes against Lazio 0-3 and Torino last weekend 6-0. This week, Como confirmed its good intentions by winning on the field of Fiorentina in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup 1-3. Atalanta today occupies 7th place in Serie A with 5 units of spending on its opponent of the day.

A time lagging behind on the European folding seats, the Dea has considerably increased the slider following the arrival on the bench of Raffaele Palladino. The Bergamasques have only lost to Inter 0-1 in the last 8 days, for 6 wins and 1 draw. Held to a surprise draw at relegated Pisa 1-1, they reacted brilliantly by crushing Parma last weekend 4-0. 

Looking at their most recent fixtures, Como’s form sheet paints a picture of a team hitting stride at the right moment. Their blend of disciplined defending and efficient finishing has been evident across multiple competitions, including their steady league draw against Bologna and their composed away win at Pisa. Atalanta, for their part, continue to show flashes of their trademark vertical play and midfield aggression, even if their results have been mixed due to injuries and rotation. Their previous meeting with Como, which ended level after early goals from both sides, demonstrated how finely balanced this matchup can be when both teams find rhythm. Sky Sports

With both sides entering this clash carrying confidence from recent performances, the encounter promises a blend of tactical discipline and attacking ambition. Como’s home form and Atalanta’s resilience suggest a tightly contested affair where momentum may swing repeatedly. The earlier draw between the two teams hints at another close battle, and given their current trajectories, a narrow scoreline feels likely. For this preview, the predicted correct score is 2–1, reflecting the expectation of a competitive match where small details and late-game composure could ultimately decide the outcome.
