It's going to be a busy end to the season for Atalanta. Thursday saw them come from behind to beat Fiorentina 2-1 in the Italian Cup semi-final to win the tie 5-4 on aggregate. They face Lazio in the final but before that continue their bid to qualify for the Champions League. With five games remaining, they are in fifth place and only behind AC Milan on the head-to-head record between the two teams.WhIle Milan have a tricky away game at Torino this weekend, Atalana host relegation-threatened Udinese. They are unbeaten in their last ten league and cup games and at home have won four of their last five matches. The reverse fixture against Udinese took place in December with Atalanta getting a 3-1 away win.

Udinese are a place and four points above the relegation zone. They have one point from their last three league games with defeats at Roma and Lazio. They needed an own-goal ten minutes from time to grab a home point against Sassuolo in their last league fixture. Only one of their last five league games have been won but it was an important victory as they beat Empoli who are the team one place below them in the table. Their away league record is appalling with only one win (at bottom of the table Chievo) and just eight points earned all season. They have gone 13 away league games without a win getting just four points from those matches. A bet on Atalanta to win is the suggested bet.
