Atalanta approaches this match having lost 0-1 to Lazio, marking their third defeat in this Serie A campaign. They typically adopt a traditional 3-4-3 formation, focusing on a fast-paced playing style while advancing primarily down the flanks. Juan Cuadrado, Ademola Lookman, and Mateo Retegui are crucial in creating opportunities in the opposition’s box. The team prefers to develop their attacks down the right side, utilising the pace and offensive runs of right-back Raoul Bellanova. They will be without Rafael Tolói, Marco L हितुए, Stefan Posch, Odilon Kossounou, Gianluca Scamacca, and Giorgio Scalvini due to injuries.
