The Goddess left it late with a 1-0 win over Bologna just before the international break, courtesy of a goal from Moustapha Cisse (82') at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. Atalanta had been without a victory in two games before the win, LWLDW, and are now looking to pick up back-to-back victories. Sitting right above Roma [51 points] in 5th place based on goal difference, while having 51 points from 14W, 9D, and 6L, Atalanta are looking to put some points between themselves and the Little Cubs. Roma takes on Sampdoria in another Serie A fixture scheduled later in the day on Sunday. A victory for Atalanta could see that happen if Jose Mourinho’s side fails to defeat La Samp. Atalanta have won four of their last six league games against Napoli, including the two most recent, and are looking to add to their tally of victories. Gian Piero Gasperini came under fire following his side’s dip in form in recent weeks. On Sunday, he will have three points written across his mind when he lays out the 4—2—3—1 with Koopmeiners at the top of the shape. On availability, Duván Zapata remains doubtful with a groin injury alongside Rafael Tolói, while Davide Zappacosta rejoins the squad after missing out on the game against Bologna due to a suspension.

Atalanta picked Sampdoria apart in a 4-0 win on Monday at the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia. Atalanta, in 5th place, with 47 points from 13W, 8D, & 5L, would like to see the three-point gap over Roma remain in place at the end of the weekend at the very least. A win here would have those three points grow to six, while a defeat to the Magic One would see both sides level on points. Gian Piero Gasperini and the Nerazzurri could line up with the 4—2—3—1 formation against AS Roma, leaving Mario Pašalić, who was on target against La Samp, in attack in the absence of Duván Zapata (groin injury). Meanwhile, Rafael Toloi is suspended for this fixture against the Little Cubs.

Atalanta were held to a goalless draw against Lazio on Matchday 23 at the Stadio Olimpico. Despite several clear chances, both sides failed to find the back of the net after 90 minutes and had to share the spoils. Atalanta returns with two consecutive draws: LDWDD, and remains fourth with 43 points after 12W, 7D, and 3L. Gli Orobici made a bold statement with the recent acquisitions of Valentin Mihaila from Parma and Jeremie Boga from Sassuolo, both on loan and are looking to challenge for a top-three spot. After a goalless draw against the league champions, Inter, and then, Lazio, Atalanta could draw three Serie A matches in a row for the first time since May 2017. In the event of another goalless draw, it will be the first time ever in Italian top-flight football for the Bergamo-based side. Three at the back, in the shape of a 3—4—2—1 formation, with Luis Muriel in attack, is expected from Gian Piero Gasperini when they welcome the Sardinians to the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia.

A victory over the Eagles would see Atalanta close the gap on the top-three if Napoli slips up against relegation-embattled Salernitana at the weekend. Gian Piero Gasperini is well known for playing three at the back, in the shape of a 3—4—2—1 formation.

Atalanta are coming off the back of a 2-0 win over the Winged Lions after the Coppa Italia round-of-16 duel against Venezia earlier in the week. In her last Serie A episode, the Goddess visited her wrath upon the Little Zebras on Matchday 21, sweeping Udinese aside in a resounding 6-2 win at the Stadio Friuli. The avalanche of goals saw the likes of Atalanta's Mario Pasalic (17'), Muriel (22', 76'), and Ruslan Malinovskyi (43') pen their names on the score-sheet. A double, late in the second forty-five, featuring Joakim Maehle (89') and Matteo Pessina (90'+2) put the game well beyond Udinese, who had tried to inspire a miraculous comeback in the 88th minute after a goal from Beto. Having returned to winning ways after two games without a victory, WWLDW, fourth-placed Atalanta aim to put daylight between themselves and the Old Lady [38 points], sitting in fifth place. Having 41 points after 12W, 5D, and 3L, Gian Piero Gasperini would like to see his side pick up three additional points against the Serie A champions.

Despite several clear-cut chances, both sides failed to find the back of the net on either side of the forty-five. The draw leaves the Bergamo-based side with 2 points per game in the last five Serie A matches, WWWLD, and in 4th place, one point adrift of the top-three section. The Black and Blues have 38 points from 11W, 5D, & 3L. A win on Thursday could see the Goddess topple third-placed Napoli, who have a difficult fixture against Juventus later in the day. I Nerazzurri reiterated their intentions for a top-three finish, having wasted no time in strengthening their squad in the January transfer window following the acquisition of Sassuolo’s Jeremie Boga. Boga was pictured having his medical with Atalanta earlier this week, following a €22M-rated move as the club’s most expensive signing. An announcement over the acquisition of the 25-year-old Ivory Coast international is expected before the weekend. However, an appearance in the club’s colors remains far. A 3—4—2—1 formation with Duván Zapata at the top of the shape is expected from Gian Piero Gasperini for this fixture against Torino. Meanwhile, Remo Freuler is suspended for this fixture.

La Dea trails second-placed Milan [39 points] by two points, after picking up 37 points from 11W, 4D, and 2L. With Milan taking on Napoli [36 points] over the weekend in another difficult fixture, Atalanta could move into second place should they defeat the Little Cubs on Saturday. After being sunk in a 3-2 defeat to the Yellow Submarine in the UEFA Champions League, which saw the Black and Blues exit the star-studded arena of champions, Gian Piero Gasperini switched from the 3—4—1—2 formation to its variant, the 3—4—3, for the game against Verona.

Luis Muriel (88’) salvaged a late point for the Italians to keep their qualification hopes alive. Atalanta bagged a 3-2 win over Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo over the weekend. The famous win leaves the club unbeaten in five games across all competitions: WDWWW. Gian Piero Gasperini mirrored Napoli’s 3—4—3 formation for Saturday’s game against Gli Azzurri and beat Luciano Spalletti in his own attacking-minded game. Atalanta took 21 shots, with 7 of them on target, while converting 42% of their chances. After the impressive victory, Gasperini is expected to stick with the same formation and personnel for this game against Villarreal. Atalanta have no new injury worries, and if booked, Marten de Roon will miss the next game.
