Atalanta vs Rakow Czestochowa: Top free betting tips

Get ready for an intriguing UEFA Europa League clash as Atalanta returns to major European competition after a one-season absence. They take on the challenge of Polish champions Rakow Czestochowa, who are making their first group-stage appearance in a UEFA competition.

Total goals prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

The last three matches involving Atalanta have seen 11 goals, finishing with over 2.5 goals at each occasion. On the other hand, only one of Rakow's last five matches have seen this conclusion. With the Italians likely to dominate proceedings, we expect a goal fiesta at the Gewiss Stadium. Rakow can be taken to the cleaners by La Dea with at least three goals in the meeting.

Both teams to score prediction: Yes

With two wins and as many losses from their last four outings, Atalanta has shown their penchant for scoring as well as conceding. A similar case can be made for Rakow Czestochowa, who has two clean-sheet wins and blows exchanged in the other two. With both sides looking to start on the front foot, we expect blows exchanged in this meeting and both goalkeepers made to suffer.

Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Atalanta

La Dea have conceded four goals in their last four matches and will be concerned with their defensive prowess against Rakow. The Polish outfit have scored seven goals in their last four outings, while also winning four of their last seven European away trips. Atalanta are a different breed and should worsen their record in this duel. They have scored two goals on average in their last three outings and it should be the case this time around as well. Rakow's travelling record will be exhibited by getting on the scoreboard. A 2-1 result in favour of Atalanta is a likely conclusion to this duel.
