This season has been a highly entertaining one in Serie A. One of the most exciting teams to watch in the Italian top-flight has been Atalanta. Gian Piero Gasperini are the league’s top scorers and will look to add to their burgeoning goal tally when they host Sampdoria on Wednesday night.
The team from Bergamo goals look set to fire them to Champions League football once again for next season.
The home side are now 15 points clear of fifth-place Roma, and now only a point behind third-place Inter.
Atalanta enjoyed a rare low-scoring outing last time out, as they recorded a 1-0 win at Cagliari. The win made the home side ten games unbeaten in Serie A, having claimed nine wins in the process. It also saw the Nerazzurri fail to score two or more goals for the first time in ten league matches.
Unsurprisingly, Atalanta have been strong at the Gewiss Stadium of late in Serie A. The Nerazzurri are unbeaten in five league games, having won their last four games on home soil. The league's top goalscorers have also scored at least two goals in their five unbeaten matches on home soil in the Italian top-flight.
Back-to-back league wins against Lecce and SPAL have moved Sampdoria seven points clear of the relegation zone. They should be safe but will be looking to secure their safety as soon as possible.
The two straight league wins were needed, as they came on the back of three consecutive defeats in Serie A.
Samp have endured mixed fortunes on their travels in the Italian top-flight of late, having won just two of their last six away games.
Forebet predicts that Atalanta’s brilliant recent run of form will continue and they will get back to their prolific best in front of goal.
