Spezia take on the visitors Atalanta in the round 16 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 4th at Stadio Alberto Picco (La Spezia).
Spice gradually slipped into a struggle for survival. The Eagles are a rather curious project. They have a title in the asset, but at the same time they made her debut in Serie A in 2020. However, that trophy is not taken into account by many, because the 1st place was taken in the 1943/1944 draw, when in wartime there was an unusual composition of participants. Twice in a row, with different mentors, the newcomer managed to "survive" in Calcio. Now, under Luca Gotti, the autumn segment was definitely no better: only 3 wins and 13 points in 15 matches, and only due to the presence of a trio of outsiders it turns out to go to the 17th, “saving” place. Three wins and one defeat for Spezia in four friendly matches before the resumption of the season in Serie A. It is worth noting that at home, Spezia took only one point in the last two rounds of the championship, losing to Fiorentina and drawing 1:1 with Udinese.

Atalanta raises a lot of concerns again. The Goddess under Gasperini accustomed to constant success. Of course, on such a triumphant field, the outcome of 2021/2022 was a real failure. 59 points in 38 matches did not even allow them to go to the European Cups - this is for those who got used to it and accustomed the fans to a permanent stay in the Champions League (even to the playoffs there)! Of course, it was necessary to demonstrate progress, desire and ability to win back positions. But after a 10-match streak without defeat (7 wins and 3 draws), there was first defeat against Lazio, and then, after a 2-0 on the Empoli field, they were left without points for 3 rounds in a row. And not only with Napoli and Inter, but also with Lecce. A respite should do good - if Gian Piero has not lost his flair.
The debuting Spezia was able to defend a draw with the grand. But then Atalanta won all 3 head-to-head fights in a row. Atalanta is the favorite of the upcoming game, according to the bookmakers. The success of the Bergamo’s side is estimated at 1.73 against 4.18 for a draw and 4.78 for the success of Spice. The Goddess is simply obliged to actively return to the battle. We recommend betting on what visitors will win.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win.
