On Tuesday, starting with 20:45, the match Atalanta – Brescia will be played, from the round with number 33 in Serie A.
The band from Bergamo is going through an exceptional period. This comes after the draw obtained in Turin against the “Old Lady”, positioning itself on the 3rd place in the ranking of Italian football. The 67 points won by Atalanta place it at a single length behind those from Lazio. Taking into account the fact that Radu Stefan’s team is going through a nightmare period, being defeated in the last 3 stages, Atalanta has every reason to hope for the second place and, implicitly, for the best ranking in history. However, for this dream to come true, the number of wrong steps taken by Atalanta in recent rounds must be kept to a minimum. Especially in the context in which the opponents are as modest as possible.
On the other hand, Brescia is a doomed band. The small team scored only 21 points in the first 32 stages and is 9 points away from Genoa, the first team outside the “red zone” of relegation. With only 6 rounds before the end of the season, Brescia seems a doomed team on the road to Serie B. This idea is also supported by the extremely modest game that the “white-blues” play. In addition, the Italian press is of the opinion that Brescia – and not Spal (last ranked), is the weakest team in Serie A. Starting from these aspects, there is no doubt that Atalanta is considered the clear favorite of the dispute. We choose, however,
-Atalanta, undefeated in the official matches in January;
-Brescia, without away victory since December 2019;
-In the round, Atalanta won in Brescia 3-0.
Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Gollini – Caldara, Palomino, Toloi – Hateboer, De Roon, Pasalic, Castagne – Malinovskiy – Muriel, Zapata;
Brescia (4-3-1-2): Joronen – Sabelli, Chancellor, Papetti, Mateju – Tonali, Dessena, Ndoj – Spalek – Donnarumma, Torregrossa.
PREDICTION: Over 3,5 goals @ 1,72
