Atalanta vs Sampdoria Prediction & Betting tips
Atalanta suffered a painful defeat last weekend but resumed good form in the Champions League. This weekend, Sampdoria comes to visit, beating it 2-0 last July thanks to late hits by Rafael Toloi and Luis Muriel.
Atalanta:
Atalanta won the first three league matches of the new season, scoring a total of thirteen goals, continuing the good line of last season. That the formation of Gian Piero Gasperini could also have an off-day was shown last weekend, when Atalanta was 4-0 behind when he visited Napoli. Atalanta’s defense struggled with unleashed Hirving Lozano and record-breaking Victor Osimhen, who scored three goals. Jose Palomino in particular fell through the ice, the 30-year-old Argentinian did not win a single duel and was already replaced at half-time. In addition, Josip Ilicic played again for the first time since March after being absent due to mental problems, but he did not come close to his old level yet.
For the midweek match against Midtjylland in the Champions League, Palomino was not surprisingly passed by Gasperini and Ilicic also got no starting place. The Danes didn’t stand a chance against the visitors from Bergamo, in the first half La Dea already fired twelve shots, seven of which on target. The three leading men – Duvan Zapata, Papu Gomez and Luis Muriel – all managed to score before half time, after which acquisition Aleksey Miranchuk was allowed to make his debut and scored the 0-4 just before time.
Sampdoria:
Claudio Ranieri managed to get Sampdoria out of the relegation zone last season and seems to have the right formation again. After a very difficult start to the competition in which, among other things, a 2-0 lead was given up against Benevento, La Samp managed to win the last two matches. Away at Fiorentina, substitute Valerio Verre took care of the late 1-2 with a masterly lob, last weekend Sampdoria decided the game much earlier when Lazio came to visit. In the first half, Sampdoria was on shot and Fabio Quagliarella and defender Tomasso Augello ensured the 2-0 halftime score. Even after the break, the home team was the parent, which was underlined with the 3-0 purchase from Mikkel Damsgaard. The Genuesen fired no less than eight times at goal while they only allowed Lazio one shot in the entire match.
