The French champion never ceases to amaze football fans with his illogical results. If in the Champions League “Paris Saint-Germain” managed to take the first position, which brought the team to rival Barcelona in the playoffs, then in the French championship intrigue ripens for the first time in recent years. For 16 rounds of the current championship of Ligue1, PSG recorded 10 victories and two draws, which brought them 32 points and the third position. In December the capital club managed to lose to Lyon (0:1), beat Montpellier (3:1) and Lorient (2:0). Last Sunday the away team shared the tournament points with Lille (0:0). Bernat, Florenzi, Neymar, Sarabia, Danilo, Icardi, Kurzawa and Kimpembe, who are suspended, will not be able to enter the field today.
Atalanta started the season poorly, but there is a very specific explanation for this. The team of Gianpiero Gasperini devoted a lot of effort in the Champions League, having managed to secure a ticket to the playoffs at the end of the group stage. In Serie A the Bergamasks are still only seventh, but at the same time they are quite capable of making their way into the top four. They are three points behind Roma. We managed to create such a handicap due to the victory over the wolves in a face-to-face meeting in the last round. Having lost 0:1 in the first half, Atalanta pulled themselves together and scored four goals against Roma in the second half, extending the unbeaten streak to three matches.
