Atalanta vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
The time is running out for Atalanta. After three games they are still at zero points and in the next three games points will have to be taken to survive. What it looks like now will be difficult enough to reach third place at all. It is terrible that two weeks after the heavy defeat against Manchester City, the English national champion comes to visit.
Atalanta:
Gian Piero Gasperini has a changeable first seasonal part. The club now occupies fifth place in the Serie A and that is a position that Atalanta can look at positively. The number of losses remains scarce and the performance is above expectations. La Dea, for example, has already had some highlights. A few weeks ago they won 7-1 vs. Udinese and in addition it won five of the eleven games in the competition. In the away games, the team is still undefeated. Only in the Champions League are the results very disappointing. The first half of the group phase is now halfway and the counter is still at zero points. Atalanta lost 4-0 to Dinamo Zagreb, in Italy they lost 1-2 to Shakhtar and Manchester City was 5-1 too strong. No results to write home about.
At the Gewiss Stadium it went wrong again Sunday afternoon for the team from Bergamo. In the first half, attacker Josip Ilicic picked up a stupid red card for the kick-off. The club then followed the facts and lost 0-2 to Cagliari. With that defeat, Cagliari is tied in points and Atalanta dropped from third to fifth place.
Manchester City:
The English champion of England has had a very strong season despite two mistakes. The club wins many competitions, but it is no longer the numbers that we are used to from the Citizens. The Pep Guardiola team lost to Norwich and Wolves at home. As a result, it is now six points behind league-leader Liverpool. This weekend Manchester City must visit Liverpool at Anfield. To limit the damage, there is some chance that Manchester City will play with a few B players. Yet Guardiola’s team on paper is at least as strong as Atalanta. With Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Joao Cancelo, they have substitutes who still have enough quality to make a difference.
After the 9-0 defeat against Leicester City, Southampton ended up in the relegation zone, but a week later, Manchester City-out was on the program. For the Citizens an excellent opportunity to regain confidence against a low flyer. Yet Manchester City had a lot of trouble with the Saints. They even fell behind. Only in the 70th minute did Manchester City equalize thanks to a goal from Sergio Agüero. In the 86th minute, Kyle Walker proved his worth when he made the winning. Manchester City crawled through the eye of the needle, but it didn’t make any sense in terms of points.
