Reason for Atalanta vs Sporting CP Predictions
Atalanta is having another solid season. In the Italian Serie A, they are 6th in the table with 20 points from 13 matches. Atalanta is four points behind the top four, so it is not far from the best Italian teams. However, Atalanta have won only two of their last six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they lost 2-1 to Napoli at home. Atalanta now turn their attention to the Europa League game where a win could guarantee them top spot in the group. Ademola Lookman enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems because he passes through the defense like a fast train. Teun Koopmeiners plays well in the middle of the park, and he does not allow the opponent much action. Atalanta have several problems in the squad right now. Lukas Vorlicky, Jose Palomino and El Bilal Toure are injured and will miss the game against Sporting CP. In the previous match against Napoli, Sead Kolasinac and Davide Zappacosta suffered injuries, but they could recover for Thursday.
Sporting CP can be satisfied with the 2023/24 season. They share first place in the Portuguese league with 28 points from 11 matches. Sporting CP have won five of their last six games. In the previous match, they won at home with 8-0 in the cup against Dumiense. The visitors are a team from the lower level of Portuguese football, so there was no match for one of the best teams in the country. Sporting CP have seven points from four matches played so they could move closer to the knockout stage if they win on Thursday night. Pedro Goncalves is a great player, many teams are interested in this guy, he has good dribbles, and his greatest virtue is speed. Marcus Edwards plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable. Sporting CP played against Dumiense in the previous game, so the head coach Ruben Amorim had a chance to give the opportunity to some players who didn’t play too much this season.
