Atalanta played poorly in the starting segment of the championship, but gradually the team of Gianpiero Gasperini added in the quality of football. At the moment, the Bergamasks occupy the fourth line in the table with 61 points in the asset, lagging behind their today’s rival by one point. The leader of Inter has already gone 13 points ahead. Atalanta’s competitors include Napoli, Roma and Lazio. Each of them, to a ragged extent, claims a ticket to the Champions League. Only the eagles have six points less, but they have a match in reserve. In the second round Atalanta gained stability. In 2021 in Serie A the Bergamaski suffered only two defeats against Lazio (1:3) and Inter (0:1). In the last round Atalanta beat Fiorentina with a score 3:2 in a difficult match, extending the winning streak to four matches.
The Catalans certainly have not recovered from the defeat in El Classico in the last round of Primeira. This is a serious blow to self-esteem, although nothing catastrophic happened. Barcelona are still claiming the championship, ranking third in La Liga. They are lagging behind the leading Atletico 2 points and from the second Real they lag one point. The fight for the title is expected to be very hot. At the same time, Barca is obliged to win the Spanish Cup in order to please the fans with at least some trophy, if they fail to win the Primeira this season. So, what is the football predictions from the experts for today?
