Since the arrival of Rafaelle Palladino, Atalanta has shown a notable improvement in its performance. The hope of securing a place in the top four in Serie A has increased, although in recent rounds they have failed to beat strong teams such as Juventus (0-1) and Roma (1-1). With a gap of nine points from fourth place, their chances of reaching that goal are limited, making the Coppa Italia their main focus.

Recent performance

• Last 5 games: 2 draws, 2 losses, 1 win.
• Average goals scored: 1.2 per game.
• Average goals conceded: 1.0 per game.

Injuries and suspensions

Atalanta will be without Hincapié and Sulemana due to injuries, which could affect their defense. However, their offensive capabilities remain strong with key players available.

Betting trends

In four of their last five games, Atalanta have been offside more than their opponents, which may be a sign of their aggressive playing style. Furthermore, they have not lost in the first half in their last four games, which suggests good initial preparation.
