Atalanta Preview and News
Since the departure of Gian Piero Gasperini to Roma, Atalanta are struggling – some people expected it to happen. Gasperini’s influence to the team was incredible, so we can say La Dea are still adapting to his absence.
Atalanta are currently 10th in the Serie A standings, and that’s not what they aimed for at this phase of the season. The team’s average performance led to the sacking of the head coach, Ivan Juric. His replacement Raffaele Paladino now has the responsibility to move La Dea closer to the top.
In their last game, Atalanta hosted Inter Milan but was outperformed, losing 0-1. La Dea are currently without their Nigerian star Ademola Lookman, who is playing at the African Cup of Nations.
AS Roma Preview and News
Under Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma are dreaming of their first Serie A title since 2001. The Wolves are currently 4th in the standings, but just three points behind the leader AC Milan. This gives Roma some hope of beating the competition this season.
The Wolves won their last game in the Serie A against Genoa at home, 3-1. Gasperini’s boys decided everything after just 30 minutes of playing. Soule, Kone and Ferguson did the job for the hosts. It was a merciless performance by the capital giants.
Evan Ferguson was the man of the match against Genoa. The Irish international not only scored a goal for Roma, but also provided one assist. Ferguson now has two Serie A goals since the beginning of the campaign.
