If there is one team who does not mind playing away in Italy it is Atalanta, who have lost 2 of their last 35 away matches. On 2019 at Bologna, and a year later in Napoli last October!

Atalanta are one of the five top teams who are basically equal in class both in the actual table, but especially in the underlying numbers measuring performances. They have 43 points which is more or less corrrect, the hosts today Sampdoria have gained 30 points but they have been lucky at both ends of the pitch, and they could be several positions lower, even in the relegation fight with the likes of Torino and Benevento!

Naturally xG is never the whole truth, they have quality attacking players in Balde and Candreva, but I have my doubts if their defense can keep Atalanta far enough from danger zones as it is the department that has been the luckiest so far. Sampdoria have conceded 34 goals, there have been chances for more than 40 but it is no wonder the player who constantly gets best marks from the matches is their keeper Emil Auder.

The recent Serie A matches show that Sampdoria really are just one average team. They can win or lose anywhere, but get badly outplayed by the best sides, altough they have won Atalanta away this season.

I have discussed Atalanta several times this season again, last time ahead of their unfortunate loss v Real Madrid where they got a harsh red card early to destroy their game, and also one of top strikers Duvan Zapata injured and is out today. However they played most of the match 10 v 11 without people noticing it, they did not have many problems and were unlucky to lose with the late goal.

There are weaker performances also in their run, then there are the brilliant ones where Atalanta just keep on attacking and scoring.

Atalanta have scored 53 goals so far, only 7 of them are from set pieces! I like to rely on teams that can create chances on their own, not needing referees help or a free-kick specialist to offer them goals.

Not many absentees today and Atalanta would do some rotating anyway. Expected lineups from local media below.

1-3

如果有一支球队不介意在意大利客场作战，那就是亚特兰大，他们在最近的35场客场比赛中只输了2场：2019年在博洛尼亚，一年后的去年10月在那不勒斯!

亚特兰大是五支在实际积分表中同级别的顶尖球队之一，尤其是在衡量表现的基础数据上。他们得到了43分，这差不多是正确的，今天的东道主桑普多利亚得到了30分，但他们在球场的两边都很幸运，他们可能会比都灵和贝内文托低几个位置，即使是在保级大战中!

当然，xG并不是全部的事实，他们在Balde和Candreva有高质量的进攻球员，但是我怀疑他们的防守是否能让亚特兰大远离危险区域，因为这是目前为止最幸运的部门。桑普多利亚已经丢了34个球，有超过40个进球机会，但毫无疑问，在比赛中得分最高的球员是他们的门将埃米尔·奥德。

最近的意甲比赛表明桑普多利亚只是一支普通的球队。他们可以在任何地方赢或输，但会被最好的球队严重击败，尽管他们本赛季在客场赢得了亚特兰大。

这个赛季我已经讨论过亚特兰大好几次了，上一次是在他们不幸输给皇家马德里之前，他们在比赛中早早地得到了一张严厉的红牌，破坏了他们的比赛，而且其中一位顶级前锋杜万·萨帕塔受伤了，今天缺席了比赛。然而他们在10比11的大部分比赛中都没有被人们注意到，他们并没有太多的问题，只是不幸的输掉了最后的进球。

在他们的比赛中也有一些较弱的表现，但也有一些出色的表现，亚特兰大一直在进攻和得分。

亚特兰大到目前为止已经进了53个球，其中只有7个来自定位球!我喜欢依靠那些能够自己创造机会的球队，而不需要裁判的帮助或任意球专家为他们提供进球。

今天缺席的人不多，亚特兰大也会轮换上场。

预测比分1:3。
