Atalanta hosts Spezia in round 27 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, March 12th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo)
The club from Bergamo occupies an intermediate 5th line in the standings of the Italian championship, having 49 points each in its assets. 13 points separate Atalanta from the leading Inter. Gasperini's charges are unlikely to claim the champion’s title, but they are quite capable of fighting for the top three. Gasperini managed to build a unique tactical model of the game, which started working three seasons ago and has allowed the team to become one of the flagships of national football. The team from Bergamo has such perfect players as Zapata, Gosens, Toloi, Gollini, and Muriel.

Spezia, which is a modest newcomer to the elite, managed to play several quality matches and score 26 points in the championship. This allows Vincenzo Italiano's wards to occupy 15th place in the standings and claim to retain their place in the elite. Spezia shows good performance (33 goals scored in 25 rounds) but sags in the reliability of defensive work. The club actively worked in the transfer market to improve the talent pool for participation in the elite of national football. The management managed to make several defining acquisitions (Nzola, Pobega, Farias, and Zoet).
The hosts will have the initiative and regularly create dangerous attempts in the opponents’ penalty area by putting pressure on the central axis. The visitors are hardly ready for this level of opposition. Atalanta is able not only to add three points to its asset but to get a significant advantage in the score. We think the hosts will win with a difference of at least two goals.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with -1.5 handicap
