Atalanta vs Sampdoria Match Preview

Atalanta will host against Sampdoria in the 27th round of the Italian Serie A.

Atalanta are in fifth position and have collected a total of 44 points. They beat Olympiakos on the road in their last game played which was in the Europa League by three goals to nil.

Atalanta will be without Demiral, Djimisiti, Miranchuk, Palomino and Zapata. Djimisiti and Demiral are suspended while the other three are injured. The big miss would be of Zapata as he is the top scorer for Atalanta in Serie A this season having scored nine goals.

Sampdoria are in the bottom six in the table and have collected 26 total points. They struggle a lot away from home. They have lost all their last four games played away from home.

Sampdoria will be without Bereszynki, Candreva and Gabbiadini. Gabbiadini is injured while the other two are suspended due to yellow cards. Giovinco and Sensi are doubtful.

Both last two head-to-head meetings between these sides ended in Atalanta winning. Atalanta know that any drop in points would take them too far from qualification to next season's Champions League and should be prepared very well for this game. I expect Atalanta to win this game quite easily.
