Atalanta travel to Benevento for a Serie A clash on Saturday. The visitors are beginning to recover from a shaky spell in which they looked a shadow of their usual free-scoring-selves. A run of three wins from 11 games in all competitions was followed up by their current unbeaten run of eight games, five of which were victories. The solid streak leaves them sixth in the table with 28 points from 15 games. Home side Benevento have also been in good form of late, only losing one of their last five matches. There was no shame in that loss either given that it came against AC Milan, the team with the longest unbeaten streak in Europe's top five leagues. Benevento are tenth with 21 points from 16 matches. While they failed to win six of their previous seven home matches, Benevento can take pride from valiant performances against tough opposition. These displays resulted in them taking points from sides like Juventus and Lazio. Their last four home matches featured fewer than three goals.

Atalanta did not have any trouble winning at Benevento on their last visit, a 3-0 cruise to three easy points. They also won their home game against Benevento during that 2017/18 campaign. Gian Gasperini's side has the kind of astonishing away record that would make them believe they could take three points from Hell itself. Atalanta are unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 away games in all competitions, beating Lazio, Liverpool and Ajax along the way. We suggest backing them to continue their run at Benevento.
