Atalanta’s likely signing of Giacomo Raspadori strengthens an already potent attack and could make them firm favorites in upcoming matches. Punters may consider backing Atalanta to win or over 2.5 goals, and Raspadori as an anytime scorer or to record a goal involvement, given the club’s recent form and increased squad depth.
Atalanta close in on Giacomo Raspadori to complete attacking rebuild

Coach hails Raspadori’s arrival
Raffaele Palladino reaction
Coach Raffaele Palladino welcomed Raspadori, calling him “a strong player who has completed the attacking department.” Palladino added that the signing has raised Atalanta’s level and fits the club’s ambitious profile. He stressed the importance of competition in training and said the squad is ready to seize opportunities.
Squad balance and tactical impact
More options up front
Raspadori’s arrival gives Palladino greater flexibility alongside players such as Samardzic, De Ketelaere, Maldini, Lookman and Krstovic. Increased rotation options allow Atalanta to manage workload, change attacking patterns and present different threats through the centre and wide areas.
Form guide and immediate fixtures
Atalanta have won four of their last five Serie A matches and travel to face struggling Pisa tomorrow. Palladino urged consistency, noting the team must build on recent momentum and aim for more points than in the first half of the season.
Betting implications and market outlook
How Raspadori affects wagering
Raspadori’s arrival and Atalanta’s strong run should nudge market confidence toward home wins and higher-scoring lines. Practical angles: back Atalanta to win or the match to finish over 2.5 goals; consider Raspadori for anytime scorer or to register a goal involvement;Asian handicap backing for Atalanta (-0.5 or -1) looks sensible against lower-table opponents. Monitor starting lineup confirmation before placing match-specific bets.
