As we gear up for **Monday night football**, excitement is in the air! We’re focusing on two thrilling *Serie A* clashes as well as a pivotal showdown in the Championship. With Venezia hosting Fiorentina at **5:30 PM** and Atalanta taking on Roma at **7:45 PM**, there’s no shortage of action. Plus, we’ll see Sheffield United trying to secure a playoff spot against Bristol City in a tense Championship encounter. Buckle up as we dive into our top betting insights!
Venezia vs Fiorentina
Kick-off: 5:30 PM | Location: Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, Venezia | TV: OneFootball
Betting Tip: Albert Gudmundsson to have 1+ shots on target
Fiorentina’s star player, Moise Kean, is likely to miss this match following an injury sustained in their recent *Conference League* game. His absence means we can expect **Albert Gudmundsson** to step up as the main threat. While Gudmundsson has not been as prolific as Kean, he has scored six goals in the league and averages 1.1 shots per game. Given Venezia’s need to chase points for safety, expect plenty of chances to be created.
Betting Tip: The Match Will End in a Draw
Venezia finds themselves three points adrift from safety, and while they’ve shown signs of life—only losing one of their last five—the visitor’s recent struggles in away matches could level the playing field. Both sides have been inconsistent; Fiorentina’s away record includes just one win in their last five matches, making the **draw offer great value** for this encounter.
Atalanta vs Roma
Kick-off: 7:45 PM | Location: Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo | TV: OneFootball
Betting Tip: Mateo Retegui to have 1+ shots on target
Both sides come into this match with solid form, particularly Atalanta who are on a winning streak. The key player for them has been **Mateo Retegui**, who boasts an impressive tally of 24 goals this season and an average of 2.8 shots per game. Expect him to find opportunities to test the Roma defense.
Betting Tip: Artem Dovbyk to have 1+ shots on target
Roma are currently chasing a Champions League spot, and under the guidance of **Claudio Ranieri**, they’ve remarkably gone 18 Serie A games without defeat. However, their disappointing record in Bergamo raises concerns. Yet, Ukrainian striker **Artem Dovbyk**, with 12 goals to his name, should be pivotal in creating scoring chances against an Atalanta side that has shown vulnerability.
Sheffield United vs Bristol City
Kick-off: 8 PM | Location: Bramall Lane, Sheffield | TV: Sky Sports Main Event/Football
Betting Tip: Both Teams to Score – Yes
With a commanding **3-0 aggregate lead**, Sheffield United is in a strong position to secure a playoff place. They’ve demonstrated their attacking prowess at home, scoring seven goals in their last five matches. In contrast, Bristol City has struggled toward the season’s end, conceding 12 goals in their last four fixtures. Despite their defensive lapses, Sheffield’s shaky clean sheet record—only two in their last ten home matches—suggests both teams are likely to find the net.
