The club from Bergamo started very confidently in the group stage of the Champions League. In the first round Atalanta played on the road in Denmark, where their rival was the local champion Midtjylland. It was defeated with a score of 4:0. Such a start adds optimism to fans, because last season the Bergamans started the tournament with three consecutive defeats. They lost to Dynamo Zagreb (0:4), Shakhtar (1:2) and Manchester City (1:3). The victory in the match against Midtjylland left its mark on the game of Gian Piero Gasperini’s players in the last round of the championship. The coach of the team carried out a rotation, releasing far from the main line-up, which was used by Sampdoria, having won with a score of 3:1. It should be noted that Gasperini does not change his style. The team’s game is focused on attack, which gives results. Atalanta have already played six matches this season, with at least three goals scored in each. Moreover, the Bergamans differed at least four times. There are personnel losses in the team, but it is difficult to call them so serious. For various reasons, Pierluigi Gollini, Mattia Caldara, Marco Carnesecchi, Cristiano Piccini will miss the game.
Even after losing their last two games on the spin, Delhi Capitals are still in with a shout at the IPL title. This comes to show what position of command they had been, prior to this decline in form. In their previous game, they surprisingly fell to defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders – losing by 59 runs. Shikhar Dhawan has been in inspired form this season, having scored 100 runs on two occasions. He will be hoping to complement Ajinkya Rahane to give his side a brilliant start to this upcoming match. Their middle order has got to be the best in the league – Iyer and Rishab Pant partnering expertly in that position. The likes of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje also deserve praise for their magnificent bowling displays so far. SRH must be shivering at the prospect of coming up against this duo. As for the rest of the bowling unit, they will need to rediscover their mojo to pinch out a result against DC. More today cricket prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
