After the international break, some teams are looking slower, some of them recharge in the meanwhile and use a pause well. Atalanta usually does well after the pauses and forced breaks from league football. The last time when this situation happened, was in last month - we had the same pause in October because of the international team's break - and back then, Atalanta won 4-1 on the road vs Empoli in the first game after the break was done. Ok, it was an easy opponent, but the situation is the same today: Atalanta have once again an "easy" opponent to play against, Spezia.

The last official game for these two teams was on 6 November, when Atalanta won over Cagliari 2-1 away from home, while Spezia triumphed over Torino 1-0 at home field. It's hard to believe, but Atalanta still doesn't have a handicap win (win by 2 or more goals difference) at home field against Serie A teams in this season. It's hard to imagine but those are statistics saying, and this will be soon changed, most likely today. The ideal moment for Atalanta to score a couple of goals and win big as they like, as they used to do in previous years under the great coach Gasperini. An audience of 15000 fans will be admitted to the match what is 75% of the stadium capacity. The good news for Gasperini is that his striker Zapata is on fire. Spezia will be battling against relegation this season no doubt, they are promoted team from Serie B last year but did manage to stay in the first season, but still, they aren't showing enough stability in away games, especially in the recent period: Spezia lost 4 out of 5 last Serie A away games while conceding 16 goals in this period! (vs Lazio 1-6, vs Verona 0-4...). Also, Spezia are traveling without regular defender Dimitris Nikolau who is suspended for this game.

So far, Atalanta hosted Spezia once in Serie A and they triumphed 3-1. Moreover, in the total history, in their mutual games in lower levels back in the old times, Spezia never won against Atalanta, making 2 draws and losing 5 games - scoring 5 while conceding 20. Today is totally clear what team is on a higher level. Atalanta is the cream of European football nowadays and there are enough reasons to see the Atalanta big victory today, most likely with a 3-0 result.

在国际比赛休息之后，一些球队看起来速度变慢了，而一些球队则在此期间进行补充，并很好地利用了暂停。亚特兰大队通常在联赛暂停和被迫中断后表现良好。上一次出现这种情况是在上个月——由于国家队的休息，我们在10月份也出现了同样的暂停——那时，亚特兰大在休息结束后的第一场比赛中以4-1战胜了恩波利。好吧，这是一个容易对付的对手，但今天的情况也一样:亚特兰大又有了一个“容易对付的”对手，斯佩齐亚。

这两支球队的最后一场正式比赛是在11月6日，亚特兰大客场2-1战胜卡利亚里，而斯佩齐亚在主场1-0战胜都灵。令人难以置信的是，在本赛季的意甲联赛中，亚特兰大队还没有在主场取得过一场差点胜利(两球以上的差距)。很难想象，但这些数据表明，这将很快改变，最有可能在今天。对于亚特兰大队来说，这是一个理想的时刻，他们可以进几个球，随心所欲地赢得胜利，就像他们在伟大的教练加斯佩里尼(Gasperini)的前几年所做的那样。15000名观众将被允许观看比赛，这是体育场容量的75%。对加斯佩里尼来说，好消息是他的前锋萨帕塔已经着火了。斯佩齐亚将在降级区边缘苦苦挣扎毫无疑问,本赛季他们是提升团队去年从乙级联赛,但设法留在第一季,但是,他们没有表现出足够的稳定性在客场比赛,特别是在最近时期:斯培西亚失去了4 5最后意甲联赛客场比赛虽然承认16的目标在这个时期!(对拉齐奥1-6，对维罗纳0-4…)同时，斯皮齐亚的常规防守球员尼古劳也将缺阵，尼古劳将在本场比赛中停赛。

到目前为止，亚特兰大在意甲对阵斯皮齐亚的比赛中以3-1获胜。此外，纵观历史，在他们过去的低级别比赛中，斯佩齐亚从来没有赢过亚特兰大，2平5负，丢20球进5球。今天的比赛完全清楚了哪支球队处于更高的水平。亚特兰大现在是欧洲足球的精华，今天有足够的理由看到亚特兰大的胜利。

预测比分3:0。
