Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Atalanta, 2nd position with 20 points and a positive goal difference of +9
Udinese, 3rd position with 19 points and a positive goal difference of +9

Udinese with the big challenge to climb to the leadership but they need to win  the Serie A Week 9 game against Atalanta on Sunday 9 October 2022 at the Dacia Arena in Udine, Italy.  A success in this match would bring Atalanta to 23 points, a result that in their history in Serie A they have never achieved before the 13th game played in a single season. On the other hand, a Udinese victory would bring the Friulians to 22 points, a level they have never reached in the top flight before the 11th match of the season.

Coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s 300th bench with Atalanta considering all competitions; since his debut with the Bergamo team in the 2016/17 season, only three coaches have collected more games as coaches with a single team in the five major European leagues: Pep Guardiola with Man City (363), Jürgen Klopp with Liverpool (339) and Diego Simeone with Atletico Madrid (326).

Atalanta opened the score in the 36th minute. Ademola Lookman defeated Udinese goalkeeper from very close range with a right-footed shot to the top right corner. The assist is by Luis Muriel.

✅   Stats before the game:  Atalanta is unbeaten in nine games against Udinese in Serie A (7W, 2D) and in its history has recorded a series of 10 consecutive matches without defeat only against four opponents in the competition: Triestina (in 1948), Lazio (in 1972 and in 1992), Cesena (in 2015) and Sassuolo (in 2021).   Udinese have won all of their last six league games and only once in their history have they achieved more successes in a row in Serie A: eight between April and May 2013, with Francesco Guidolin at the helm.
