Atlanta has now lost 3 consecutive Serie A games that's means they have lost a total of 9 points in the process in just these three games. Atlanta were supposed to be following Napoli bumper to bumper and maybe over take them in the process but after their last three games it's no longer a reality as Napoli is now above them with 3 points and might extend it to 9 points if they win against Bologna tomorrow.
These results can cause Atalanta to qualify for the Champions League. How can a club that has been in top form now lose steam toward the end of the season? At this time, clubs are putting more effort into ensuring that they finish well. If they are now careful Bologna will soon overtake them and their ability to feature in the big European competition. Gian Piero Gasperini was the toast of Seria A when he won the Europa League, but this is not the case currently.
If Atalanta can continue like this, they may not qualify for the Champions League next season. The point gap between them, Bologna, and Juventus is just two points. If they fail to win their next match and Bologna is able to win, Bologna will be ahead of Atalanta and probably even Juventus will be above them.I don't know what is wrong with Atalanta recently. They've lost three matches in a row, and that is really bad for them at this point in the season. Before those losses, I was thinking that maybe if Inter Milan messed up, Atalanta could seize the opportunity from Napoli. But now, I don't think they can do anything to climb up the table even if Inter Milan messes up again.All Atalanta needs to focus on now is qualifying for next season's Champions League, because their chances have seriously reduce.
