Atalanta are one of the best football clubs in Italy, they have a lot of high class players in their squad. Last season La Dea placed 7th in the Serie A with 60 points to their credit after 38 matches. Their offensive line looked more than convincing and scored 57 goals. The defense was pretty solid too and conceded only 39 goals. Last three matches for Atalanta ended with an 8-0 win over Sarajevo, a 2-2 draw against the same Sarajevo and a 3-0 win over Virtus Bergamo.
Atalanta were able to beat Hapoel Haifa with a 3-1 score in 2015. La Dea are the favourites in the lead-up to the upcoming match too, their class is just higher and they are not going to give any chance to the Israeli.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win.
