Atalanta hosts Crotone in round 25 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 3rd at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)
Atalanta looked good in the match against Real Madrid even in the minority. It is still questionable how the match would have ended if the referee had not made the controversial decision to send Freuler off at the beginning. The Italians fought with dignity but eventually lost 0-1 due to Mendy's cool shot, which was delivered from a considerable distance after a corner. At the same time, even after such a defeat, the Goddess had enough strength to beat Sampdoria on the road. An important goal was scored by Ruslan Malinovsky, who was entrusted with a place in the first eleven. It was the Ukrainian who opened the scoring with a powerful shot at the end of the first half. And in the 70th minute, Gosens issued a landslide 2-0 victory, which allowed the Blue-Blacks to keep the chances for the top-4 of Serie A.

The Pythagoreans had already climbed into Serie A and failed to gain a foothold there for long. And now it seems that Crotone will leave it from the last place. The club already has six points less than Torino, which is on the saving 17th line. Moreover, almost two thirds of the championship have passed (24 rounds), and Giovanni Stroppa's charges have gained only 12 points. And they lost in the last six matches in a row. Last Sunday, Crotone did not succeed in opposing anything even against Cagliari, which also had not won for a long time. On February 28, the Islanders scored twice in the middle of the 2nd half and calmly kept that advantage even in the minority. What can we expect from an away match against one of the leaders of Serie A?
Atalanta lost to Crotone only once, and it happened in their first head-to-head match. Still, the Goddess may have trouble with this opponent. In 2018, for example, Palomino's goal brought a draw on the road in the 88th minute. In October, the Blue-Blacks won 2-1, playing 11vs10 for a long time. Crotone looks almost doomed. But Atalanta gained excellent momentum, so we will choose the option with its victory with a -2 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with -2.0 handicap
