Their last three previous match records were the same with a loss, win and draw, and for their last three head to head records they were also at least equal to Empoli winning, Atalanta winning and then drawing.
With a record like this of course Empoli can't be underestimated at all and their head to head record is at least a draw for them to dominate, but what's interesting about their head to head is to get the win by way of an away match.
If this trend can still happen again in this match, then of course Atalanta will win because considering their performance so far, of course Atalanta do have a better chance to win.
But even though Empoli can play well I'm sure Empoli still can't beat Atalanta this season, but Empoli can still target for a draw because Atalanta will also certainly still strengthen its current position because Atalanta lost by Lazio in the previous match.
In their last three matches, Empoli lost against Juventus, drew against Torino and won against Monza. While Atalanta have experienced the same thing in their last three matches, but are superior in goal productivity so far.
However, when viewed from the standings, Atalanta is very superior, and this match will feel quite important for Atalanta, considering the temporary standings are tightly guarded by Roma, Udinese and Inter.
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.
This match is very important to maintain the temporary standings for Atalanta, the defeat against Lazio is an evaluation point, considering Atalanta need a win in the next match, otherwise the top four standings will be displaced by Roma, Udinese and Inter. And honestly I prefer Atalanta in this match, even though they will travel to Empoli.
