Empoli vs Atalanta: Preview

Empoli were beaten 2-0 by Roma in their last game before the international break. Lorenzo Pellegrini and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both scored to hand Empoli their 4th loss of the season. Empoli failed to built from their wins against Cagliari and Bologna in their previous two games. Empoli have 3 wins and 4 losses in their seven games played so far.

Atalanta were beaten 3-2 by AC Milan in their last game. Gasperini’s men were far from their best on the night as Milan made a flying start scoring right from the kickoff through defender Davide Calabria. 21 year old midfielder Sandro Tonali doubled his side’s lead after he caught Freuler in possession before side footing it past the Atalanta goalkeeper Musso. Rafael Leao then scored in the 78th minute. However a late rally from the home side with Duvan Zapata and Mario Pasalic scoring in the dying moments of the game could not salvage even a point in the end.

Empoli vs Atalanta: Prediction

Roma were too strong for Empoli in their last game and losing 2-0 against a well rounded Jose Mourinho side definitely has some positives to take from. Atalanta on the other hand run into some good fixtures on paper after playing Inter and AC Milan in back to back games. Gasperini’s men will surely want to bounce back after their defeat in the last game and hence we predict a win for Atalanta as the win will be a much needed boost as they travel to England in the midweek to face Manchester United in their third group game of the Champions League.
