Atalanta will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-2 home win against Fiorentina.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Fiorentina, who had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Gewiss Stadium.  

They have had a strong run of form at Gewiss Stadium recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.  

Mateo Retegui will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Atalanta.

Como will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Bologna, which ran out a 2-2 draw.  They came away from that fixture with a 44% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Bologna, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 4 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
