Atalanta continues the battle for a place in the Champions League and will seek a mandatory victory against Empoli, who are facing serious difficulties. Gian Piero Gasperini's team has not lost in their last four matches, with the last round ending in a 0-0 draw with Cagliari. Their away performance is impressive - 10 consecutive matches without a loss and a total of 27 points won in 13 visits.
Empoli is in a serious crisisThe hosts are just one point above the relegation zone and have failed to win any of their last 10 matches. In the last round, they were crushed 0-3 by Udinese, and as hosts, they have only one victory in 12 games. Given their problems in attack and inconsistent defense, it will be difficult for them against a classy opponent like Atalanta.
Bet on Atalanta's victoryThe guests are in better form and have already beaten Empoli 3-2 this season. History is also on Atalanta's side - they have won the last five matches against this opponent. Considering the poor form of the hosts, I am betting on another success for the Bergamo team.
