Empoli will not be too burdensome for Atalanta even though the Atalanta players also do not underestimate the Empoli team, because this season there have been several examples where teams that are considered trivial have overwhelmed teams that are considered strong so that the results are unexpected. But in this case I am also more confident that Atalanta will get full points when competing at Empoli.
Empoli are not ahead in this match, although Atalanta can't underestimate them, Empoli are 12th in the standings collecting 11 points, this is enough to make Atalanta less troublesome against them, their last three records in previous matches are bad, lost two and won one.
Although Atalanta will travel to Empoli, it doesn't look like a difficult match for Atalanta to get full points.
Empoli are an inconsistent team in the last 5 matches they did not get positive results while Atalanta now they are 4th in the standings and last week they suffered a defeat against Lazio, I think against Empoli is the time for Atalanta to bounce back.
odds @1.74 for Atalanta's win in this match, I think it's very worth betting considering the strength of both teams I think the risk is small which is worth betting on Atalanta's win.
Regardless, Atalanta must put this to good use because with 1 draw and 1 loss it is clear that they are now thrown into 4th position and if you want to make a breakthrough then this is the right time.
Empoli at this time is a club that can still be said to be good for a mid-table team but in terms of quality it is clear Atalanta should be better but sometimes it is difficult to destroy Empoli's defense when they play at home because of course their supporters can be prisoners for their mental spirit.
