Atalanta possible 11:
Musso, Toloi, Scalvini, de Roon, Zappacosta, Koopmeiners, Freuler, Pezzella, Pasalic, Malinovsky and Boga
Sampdoria possible 11:
Falcone, Murru, Colley, Yoshida, Conti, Thorsby, Ekdal, Rincon, Sabiri, Quagliarella and Caputo
Prediction: Atalanta 2-1 Sampdoria
We expect the hosts to edge this one even though they are facing a number of challenges in their squad.
The visitors can be hopeful of gaining a result at Gewiss but their form hasn’t shown potential and Atalanta should have enough in the bank for three points.
Players to watch out for: Malinovsky, Pasalic, Quagliarella and Ekdal.
