Fifth-placed Atalanta will look to confirm their Europa League spot when they host surprise package Monza who are tenth. This match at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo may be one of the closely watched final game of the campaign. The hosts can’t finish in the top-four after losing 3-2 to Inter Milan last Saturday. With only two points separating them from seventh-placed Juventus, a loss could be detrimental. Atalanta would be gunning a top-six finish to stay in the Europa League at the least. For that, they need to match or better Roma’s result against Spezia. La Dea will look for a win to calm their nerves but three losses from four matches suggest it won’t be straightforward. At least they are in a safe zone having won three of the last four home league games. A win will also give them a chance to do a season double, having won 2-0 in the reverse fixture.
Monza are the surprise package of the season in their debut Serie A campaign. They can still finish eighth with a win here and couple of favourable results elsewhere will achieve the same. Although the Biancorossi lost 1-0 to Lecce last time out, they went unbeaten in eight matches prior. Their recent away form suggests there won’t be any concerns being on the road. Monza have gone unbeaten across six away league matches, winning and drawing three each. That included a win at San Siro against Inter, so the visitors won’t be perturbed by this trip.
