Parma 0-0 Atalanta
first half

Atalanta is playing an away match against parma. Atalanta failed to win their first match against Pisa. The match ended in a 1 - 1 draw. We did not see Atalanta play well in the first half against Parma today . The team couldn't make any particularly strong attacks. If Atalanta performs the same in the second half, they will fail to win this match too.

Losing Gasperini and Atalanta quickly had consequences with two draws in first two matches in Serie A. I believe that their problems will be revealed more in coming matches and they will struggle to play well in Serie A this season. No more Scudetto race with Napoli and Inter Milan while Atalanta will have to satisfy with their race for a position in top four. Even this lower competitive race, they will not easily finish this season within top four and as another opposite result, AS Roma got maximum 6 points after two matches and are in top range of Serie A.

We saw a very good performance from Atalanta in the previous season. Atalanta managed to occupy the third place in the table at the end of the season. The team was able to qualify for the Champions league. So that we expected to see a stronger performance from Atalanta this season.

But Atalanta's performance is fragile. The team has shared points in the first two matches. In the first match, they drew the match 1 - 1 with a new team like Pisa. In today's match, they also finished the match 1 - 1 with parma. Atalanta's overall gameplay was weak. They lost point because of their weak attack. And if the team continues such a performance , then we will not see the team in the top four of the table this season.

Their success in almost a last decade has great contribution from Gasperini who left Atalanta in this summer. It's worse for Atalanta when Gasperini joined a direct competitor in a same league, AS Roma. This means Gasperini can help AS Roma to beat Atalanta in top four race and it increases challenge for Atalanta to maintain a position in top four. If they fail to achieve it, their club revenue in the near future will be affected and their club development will be in big troubles too.
