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.
Indeed, more people will choose Atalanta if the opponent is Empoli, because so far the quality of the Atalanta team is still much better than Empoli. And it is clear that in this match Atalanta will try to win so that they can still be on the track for points competition in the standings, because the teams that are in the top five standings at the moment are not that much of a difference in points, so if one of them loses, then an immediate change in position.
