Atalanta are in great shape and the injury situation has gradually stabilized – today the Bergamaschi coach has options for rotation. Despite a number of possible substitutions, the “goddess” certainly has a huge advantage in class and will strive to achieve a confident victory on their home field – it is unlikely that Cesena has a chance to avoid a major defeat.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) for Atalanta . This bet is offered with odds of 1.71
Bet on total
Atalanta will undoubtedly be motivated and will strive to secure a place in the quarterfinals in regular time. Surely, from the first minutes, the "goddess" will put serious pressure on the not very stable defense of the "sea horses" and there is a high probability that they will be able to score goals in the first half. At the same time, Cesena has absolutely nothing to lose, the guests will certainly also take risks, an exchange of goals is very likely.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.09
Bet on corners
Atalanta are the favourites and will probably dominate for the entire 90 minutes – the home team should win confidently on corners.
