Atalanta take on the visitors Frosinone in the round 20 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, January 15th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo).
Atalanta do not yet look like a real contender for a place in the top four. The Bergamo team is still trying to recover from the disappointing season before last. Back then, they not only dropped out of the familiar top-four quartet but also missed out on European competitions altogether. They couldn't fully reclaim their positions in the 2022/2023 season, but at least Gian Piero Gasperini and his team secured a spot in the Europa League, where the Italians easily advanced through the group stage. However, in Serie A, the Goddess seems to be stuck at the level of the second tier. They occasionally get close to the 4th place, as their competitors also lack stability, but then there is a setback. After defeating Milan and a 4-1 win against Sassuolo, they unexpectedly lost to Lecce. In the last round, despite quickly opening the scoring, they settled for a draw with Roma. However, in the cup, they managed to secure a 2-1 victory away against Rossoneri and advanced to the semifinals.

Frosinone are playing at this level for only the third time in their history. The previous attempts, including their debut in Serie A in 2015/2016 and their return a couple of years later, ended in ignominious and premature exits. But this time it seemed like everything would be different. Eusebio Di Francesco, who had faced several failures in a row, started a new coaching job with an unbeaten streak from the 2nd round. Matias Soule, formerly a reserve for Juventus, began scoring prolifically—currently, he has 8 goals. However, since October, the newcomer has been winning at home and losing away, and during winter, they earned only 1 point, thanks to a goalless draw with Torino amid 5 defeats, including four in a row. Nevertheless, they crushed Napoli away in the cup. However, they were later defeated by Juventus with the same score of 0-4.
The mentioned previous attempts by the yellow-blue team in Serie A resulted in a single draw against Atalanta with three losses. However, at the end of summer, the newcomer surprised Gasperini's team with a powerful start and eventually won 2-1. It's not guaranteed that the Goddess will replicate what Juventus did with the Canaries in the cup. However, on their home turf, they are obligated to win with a handicap of -1.0 goal.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with -1.0 handicap.
