Atalanta-Empoli is a match valid for the seventeenth day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 6 p.m.: odds, prediction, live TV and streaming.
Since October, the only teams that managed to stop Atalanta were Celtic and Real Madrid, but in the Champions League. As far as the league and Coppa Italia are concerned, however, Gian Piero Gasperini’s Nerazzurri have taken no prisoners: their last defeat came at the end of September, when Como surprisingly conquered the Gewiss Stadium (by the way, the only one to do so so far along with Real).
The Dea, which for the first time in its history at this time of the year can afford to watch everyone from a privileged position such as the first place in the standings, did not take the national cup under consideration either: Gasperini last Wednesday against Cesena, a team that plays in Serie B, fielded most of the starters, annihilating the Romagnoli 6-1.
Atalanta, in short, is really hungry and does not want to leave anything on the road, showing that it has now acquired a winning mentality in this respect as well. A week ago, on the other hand, it was Zaniolo – later reprimanded by the coach for his “exaggerated” exultation – who decided the complicated match with Cagliari, which ended 1-0 for the Bergamasks. Aiming to increase the gap against the pursuers, Dea will also try to get right Empoli, which arrives at the Gewiss Stadium without major problems in the standings. The Tuscans are tenth, with a reassuring +5 over the third-last, but they still cannot lower the bar of attention. In the last round, Roberto D’Aversa’s Azzurri cashed in their second defeat in three days, narrowly surrendering to Torino (0-1) and again revealing offensive problems: Empoli’s attack is the second least prolific in the tournament (barely 2 goals scored at home).
Atalanta-Empoli: the latest lineup news
Gasperini recovers Cuadrado, while getting Scalvini back will probably have to wait until the next match. Kossounou, Hien and Kolasinac will play in defense, while in midfield Pasalic will take the place of the disqualified de Roon. On the left lane Zappacosta will have to beat competition from Ruggeri. Ready Zaniolo and Samardzic from the bench.
Two important recoveries for D’Aversa, who in midfield will again be able to count on Henderson, returning from disqualification. Also in Bergamo will be the returning Fazzini, who will sit on the bench. In attack, Colombo will be supported by Esposito and Maleh.
