Atalanta had a great last season on all fronts and are trying to preserve these traditions in the new season, while Gianpiero Gasperini’s team is in fourth place in the table. In six rounds, the Bergamaski scored 12 points and are only four points behind the leader of Milan, but being four opponents from below, including Inter, they have one point less. With the start of the group stage of the Champions League, Atalanta slowed down in Serie A. In the fourth round, they suffered a crushing defeat 1:4 to Napoli. A week later, another setback happened. Sampdoria won in Bergamo with a score of 3:1 absolutely in the game. The unsuccessful streak was interrupted in the last round. Atalanta beat Crotone with a score of 2:1. In the Champions League, they managed to start with a big 4:0 victory over Midtjylland, but so far this is the only victory in three rounds. A draw 2:2 with Ajax, Atalanta in the last match was defeated at home by Liverpool. Five goals flew into the gates of Marco Sportiello, nothing could be answered.
Having secured a 2:0 win over West Brom in the last round, Fulham left the relegation zone and are no longer the worst team in the championship on paper. The Summer Residents are ranked 17th, being ahead of Burnley, Sheffield United and West Bromwich. It should be admitted that Fulham played a little better with the arrival of October. If earlier Scott Parker’s wards were losing with a crushing score, then according to results of the last four fights, the statistics look better. Fulham lost to Wolverhampton (0:1) and Crystal Palace (1:2), drew with Sheffield United (1:1) and won against West Brom (2:0). All of the above rivals of the summer residents prefer a defensive style of play, which makes them at odds with West Ham. Three football players are not available to Scott Parker for this match: Abubakar Kamara, Kenny Tete and Terence Kongolo. The participation of Mario Lemina is questionable.
