Atalanta is fifth with 49 points. There is only one point to the fourth place and in this regard, the main struggle is still ahead. As for the battle for the championship, this season is a daunting task for Atalanta. They should focus on real goals, especially since the club from Bergamo has been performing at a good level lately. In the confrontation with Sampdoria there was a victory (2:0). Noteworthy is the defeat of Crotone (5:1). It is clear that this is a passing opponent. However, Atalanta does not stop and always plays to the end. Note that one of the goals was scored by Oleksiy Miranchuk. But nothing could be done against Inter (0:1). Antonio Conte’s wards were locked up, it was simply impossible to crack such an over-saturated defense. Atalanta plays especially well at the home stadium. In 13 matches 35 goals were scored. However, there were many conceded, which equals to 19.
