Atalanta is currently in 2nd place in the standings, they are only ahead in goal productivity, because in terms of points they have the same points as 3 other teams. This week they will visit Parma's headquarters, on paper this should be an easy game for them because they get an opponent who is not considered strong in Serie A. Their statistics this season are not so good, so this is a good opportunity for them to get 3 points in this match. Although Parma will play at home, this is not a guarantee that they will be able to show their best game. And I'm sure they will also come down with a deeper strategy and only rely on Atalanta's mistakes. So Atalanta must also minimize these mistakes.
Atlanta is doing good work with consistency under Gasperini most chances we will have them into top ranks for long time because their quality and performance both are on good level not only int Serie A they are also having good performance in Champions League where they have no lost and chances are high for them to stay into top 8 teams for direct qualification into next round.
Their next game against Parma surely going to be won for them as in last few visits they never lost against them after this game we have few challenging games for them as they will visit Young Boys, Roma and then hosting AC Milan are surely challenging time for them, they needed to be play with their aggressive approach which will help them for keeping them at the top spots.
