Atalanta's inability to score keeps costing them precious points, and visiting AS Roma won't make things easy on them on Monday. jasonuk17's soccer betting selections see La Dea failing to get their offense going once more.
It’s been a rough few months for. The Bergamo-based outfit started the campaign on fire, going unbeaten in their first 10 Serie A matches. After a run of defeats leading up to the World Cup, they came back and pulled off another six-match unbeaten run.
But following a 1-0 Coppa Italia defeat at Inter in late January, things have fallen apart. The loss was the first of six over their last 11 in all competitions, with just three wins in that time frame. Two of those came away from home, as they’ve taken just one victory in their last four matches in front of their fans. And a key reason for that slip is that their goals have dried up.
Atalanta have been held scoreless six times in that span. That includes twice at home; a scoreless draw with Udinese, and a 2-0 defeat to Bologna in their last home fixture. They scored just once against a mid-table Fiorentina side a week ago, on their only effort on goal.put three past that same Udinese side last weekend, and have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three Serie A fixtures.
Mourinho has his side set up to be pragmatic as always, and their 26 goals conceded are the fourth-fewest behind only Napoli, Lazio, and Juventus. Atalanta have scored a total of six goals over their last seven matches, three of which came against a Cremonese side with the worst defensive record in the league.
Roma are getting +260 at DraftKings to keep a clean sheet. The implied odds of 27.8% are far too low for me to pass up, given Atalanta’s issues with scoring and Roma’s outstanding defensive acumen of late. Throw in the fact that Mourinho’s side gets an extra day of rest with this match taking place on a Monday, and I am a huge fan of the value with this prop.
