Atalanta set to boost European hopes against Sampdoria
Atalanta will host Sampdoria on Tuesday evening at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia, as both teams look to enhance their European hopes.
The home side are now in contention for a top-six finish this season, as they are just three points behind AC Milan, who occupy the last European spot in Serie A.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side are on a decent run in the Italian top-flight, as they have won three of their last four league outings. The Bergamo outfit has also suffered just one defeat in their last eight games in Serie A. Last time out Gasperini’s side recorded a 2-0 win over Udinese.
The home side are three games unbeaten on home soil in Serie A, having recorded two wins and a draw. Their recent home games in Serie A have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four league games in the Italian top-flight.
Sampdoria have plummeted down the Serie A table in recent weeks after a strong start to their league campaign. The Genoa-based outfit has now lost four of their last five games in Serie A, including last time out when they lost 2-1 at Chievo.
The visitor’s recent games in Serie A have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last four away games in the Italian top-flight.
Marco Giampaolo’s side has a poor away record in the Italian top-flight, winning just one of their last eight games on their travels in Serie A. They have also lost five of their last six games on their travels in the Italian top-flight.
Samp will take some comfort in the fact that they have won four of their last seven meetings with Atalanta in all competitions.
Forebet predicts that Atalanta’s decent run will continue with the team from Bergamo recording a victory in a low scoring encounter.
