They have scored in every match this season and there remains huge noise around their star striker Dusan Vlahovic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Goals Galore in Bergamo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go for goals &#8211; at least four of them at odds of <code>17\/10<\/code> &#8211; when Atalanta welcome Milan to Bergamo.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atalanta&#8217;s chaotic 2-2 draw with Inter last week highlighted their strengths and weaknesses and Milan have been on target in all of their games this term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>*All odds correct at time of writing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serie A looked like being one of the most competitive leagues in Europe before a ball was kicked this season and it has certainly lived up to the case so far, with many teams believing there is a real chance of landing this season&#8217;s Scudetto.&nbsp; The outright market remains wide-open with six teams at 11\/1 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":39465,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[214],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-serie-a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28072"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28072\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40120,"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28072\/revisions\/40120"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mansionbet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
