Command Analysis

Atalanta

Current form
After a more than successful last season, Atalanta lost a number of important players in the summer, who had personified the team's play in recent years.

Arsenal

Current form
Last season, Arsenal was very close to winning the championship title again, but once again lost the battle to Manchester City, finishing only two points behind the Citizens. It is obvious that in the new season, Mikel Arteta's team is once again setting the highest goals for itself and has every reason to do so - a very competitive and well-coordinated squad, which was seriously strengthened in the summer.
Arsenal have made a decent start to the Premier League, having already faced several serious opponents. Having beaten Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0, the Gunners unexpectedly stumbled at home against Brighton. The match ended in a 1-1 draw and was marked by a refereeing scandal, where Declan Rice was controversially sent off.

Atalanta looked quite decent in the last match against Fiorentina, but the fans of the "goddess" have plenty of reasons to worry - eight goals were conceded in the last three matches. Arsenal has a high-quality and extremely effective attack line, for which such a defense will not be a big problem. At the same time, Atalanta always plays boldly at home and also has trump cards - the match will certainly be productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This bet is offered with odds of 2.29
Bet on the outcome
Despite the victory over Fiorentina in the last round, Atalanta has enough problems - both personnel and game. While the "goddess" is not able to play at full strength, Arsenal has an excellent opportunity to start with a victory. The "gunners" are also far from all right with personnel, but the reserve is much wider and of higher quality, and in terms of play, Arsenal looks objectively stronger, it makes sense to give preference to the guests.
The bet is Arsenal's victory. This outcome is offered with odds of 1.89
Combined rate
Arsenal are undoubtedly the favourites – Atalanta have faced a huge number of problems at the start of the season, which have not allowed them to perform at full strength yet. It makes sense in this situation to give preference to the Gunners, who have an advantage in class and are in excellent shape. At the same time, it will be difficult to beat Atalanta without scoring, the “goddess” scores regularly at home.
The bet is Arsenal win and both teams to score. This bet is offered at 3.55
