Will This Season See Atalanta Win Their First Serie A Title?


We haven't seen a three-way Serie A title contest in a long time. It appears that the Scudetto run-in this season will be extremely close.

As the calendar year finale approaches, the top three are separated by just three points. Many fans utilize online betting sites to assess the odds in what looks to be one of the most exciting title chases in recent Serie A history because of the extremely narrow margins at stake.

Atalanta and Napoli are still very much in the running for the title, together with the defending champions and clear favorites Inter. Gian Piero Gasperini's team could, in fact, conclude the year as the leaders. But in their final 2024 match, they have to defeat Lazio, another top-four challenger.

Napoli would be able to take the lead if Atalanta were to suffer a setback at Stadio San Siro. Antonio Conte's team is just two points behind La Dea going into their seemingly straightforward home matchup with relegation-threatened Venezia.

Third-place Inter has a game in hand over both teams above them, even though they are one point below Napoli. On Monday, Simone Inzaghi's team defeated Como, a newcomer, 2-0 at Giuseppe Meazz to record their fourth straight league victory.


Amazing Football

Atalanta's football, with all due respect to Inter, has been exceptional. With Ademola Lookman, Mateo Retegui, and Charles De Ketelaere playing at their best, Gasperini's team has become one of the most exciting in all of Europe, let alone Serie A.

Winning isn't everything. As evidenced by their most recent 3-2 victory over Empoli at home, Atalanta frequently packs a punch when they win. They scored another treble, including a brace from Lookman and Nicolò Zaniolo in the first half, despite losing Retegui to an injury in the first half.

With a late goal from De Ketelaere, Atalanta's league total this season now stands at a tie-high 42 goals. Additionally, 76% of Gasperini's free-firing team's Premier League games this season have seen them score two or more goals. They have accomplished this in 13 games, surpassing even their nearest rivals, Inter 2.

A Winning Attitude

The stunning UEFA Europa League victory from the previous season was the ideal illustration of Atalanta's newfound dominance. They had, however, faltered early in the season, dropping their first three league games.

Now, that is a faraway memory. Since a 1-1 tie at Bologna in late September, Gasperini's team has won 11 straight Serie A games. They have defeated powerhouses like Milan, Napoli, and Roma along the way, demonstrating a renewed capacity to perform well in crucial games—a significant improvement over previous seasons.


Their goals may go well beyond finishing in the top four if they can keep up this pace. With one of Italy's best football minds at the helm and this team full of confidence, there's no reason to believe differently.

At the moment, Gasperini is in a different league. His elite team is untouchable in domestic competition. As it stands, Atalanta has the potential to write yet another incredible chapter in European football this season.
