4849
Atalanta and Spezia will face off on Thursday evening in a Serie A match at the Gewiss Stadium. This game is important for both teams as it could significantly impact their standings in the league.
La Dea have played themselves back into contention for a top-four finish this season with a good recent run of league form in Serie A.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s team have won four of their previous six league matches, including a 2-1 win at Torino last time out.
The stellar run has moved the Nerazzurri up to seventh place in the table and to within two points of Milan, Inter and Roma, who are the three teams directly above them in the Italian top-flight table.
Atalanta must improve their home form if they are to move back into those Champions League spots, as they have won just four of their previous seven games on home soil in Serie A.
Their recent home matches in the Italian top flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous nine games on home soil.
The visitors are only outside the relegation zone courtesy of a superior head-to-head record to 18th place Verona.
A run of six league matches without a win has done little to soothe the visitors' nerves.
During their last game in Serie A, Spezia suffered a 2-0 home defeat by Monza, which further increased the tension within the team.
The Monza game continued a recent run of low-scoring games in the Serie A, as five of their last six league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Spezia have been in poor form on their travels in the Italian top flight of late, having failed to win in six away games in the Italian top flight. However, four of their previous five games on their travels have produced draws.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that this game will produce a home victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost La Dea’s chances of a top-four finish this season.
