🗞️ Team News: Atalanta

Emil Holm (Calf problems) and Rafael Tolói (Overstretching) will be missing for Atalanta gaffer Gian Gasperini.

It seems likely that La Dea may well employ a 3-4-1-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Marco Carnesecchi, Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, Sead Kolasinac, Hans Hateboer, Mario Pasalic, Ederson José, Mitchel Bakker, Charles De Ketelaere, Ademola Lookman and El Bilal Touré.

ℹ️ Team News: Empoli

We reckon that Azzurri will likely elect for a 3-4-2-1 system by sending out Elia Caprile, Bartosz Bereszynski, S. Walukiewicz, Sebastiano Luperto, E. Quartsin Gyasi, Alberto Grassi, Youssef Maleh, Giuseppe Pezzella, Szymon Zurkowski, Nicolò Cambiaghi and Mbaye Niang.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Atalanta look likely to fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they meet Empoli, who might well find it difficult scoring.

We’re therefore anticipating a comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Atalanta at the conclusion of the game.
