Football: Italy Serie A
4th March 2018 – Kickoff 14:00
Introduction:
After losing to Juventus in the midweek Coppa Italia, Atalanta will look to bounce back when they welcome the visit of Sampdoria who are above them in the standings and chasing a Europa League spot.
Atalanta
They have been kncoked out of the Coppa Italia as well as the Europa League in the past week but they played well despite losing those games. Against Borussia Dortmund, they were unlucky and they could have won the game and the same was the case against Juventus in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday. Had they taken their chances they could have reached the final but as they wasted their chances they paid the price for it.
They are at least six points behind the sixth spot which is currently held by Sampdoria. They still have a game in hand after their game against Juventus was called off due to snow. However they have not won in five matches in all competitions and now they will face an opponent that have lost just once in seven Serie A games.
Sampdoria
They are still holding on to sixth spot coming into this match and they find the likes of AC Milan just behind them. Sampdoria are in sixth place thanks to a better head to head record and if they fail to win this match they could drop down the standings, considering Milan are playing so well at the moment.
Sampdoria do have the distinction of having thefourth best goal scoring record having scored 46 goals in 26 games. They will look to the likes of Quagliarella and Duvan Zapata to get the goals for them in this match.
