Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is approaching the upcoming match in a good mood, as it has managed to reach the Champions League playoffs for the second year in a row. In the decisive match for the second place in the group, the Bergamaski beat Ajax to a minimum (1:0) and sent the Dutch champion to the Europa League. Already on Monday Atalanta will recognize their opponent in the 1/8 finals of the most prestigious European Cup, but for now they can concentrate on the championship. In Serie A the team from Bergamo is not doing well. In the first 10 rounds Gasperini’s wards scored only 14 points and took only ninth place. There are only six points to the third position, but if results do not improve in the near future, then the task of reaching the Champions League will be extremely difficult. In the last four matches of the championship Atalanta did not win. After suffering coronavirus, Ukrainian midfielder Ruslan Malinovsky returned to training in the general group. He was already in the application for the match with Ajax. Perhaps, in the next fight he will receive playing time, but if this happens, then, most likely, not from first minutes.
One-time BBL champions, Melbourne Renegades began the league campaign in spectacular fashion, emerging victorious in their previous game against Perth Scorchers. With less than a 24-hour window before this fixture, MR must show resilience to deliver a strong showing here. Jash Lalor and Kane Richardson having a field day, they picked up three wickets each as the Renegades strolled to success to rise to second place on the log. Interestingly, MR hit their target even with 21 balls to spare. In fact, the game already looked to be heading in MRs favor right from start as the opening pair of Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh did a number on the opposition early on, scoring a combined 70 runs. That said, Marsh was the better of the two batsmen. More predictions for today’s cricket match can be obtained from the link provided.
