Atalanta to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(45.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Atalanta because they create more big chances (15) and touches in the opposition box (222) than Union SG, with a superior xG (15.22 vs 10.59). Union SG have conceded 17 goals in 7 games and look vulnerable against sides with attacking quality.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Union SG\u2019s leaky defence (17 conceded) and both teams’ ability to create chances. Atalanta average over 15 shots per game, while Union SG are efficient with 45.2% shot accuracy. A high-scoring tie is likely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
