Reason for Sporting CP vs Atalanta Predictions
Sporting CP has a great start to the new season. In the Europa League, they started with a 2-1 win against Sturm Graz. In the Portuguese league, Sporting CP has six wins and only one draw so far, they are one point ahead of Benfica. Last weekend Sporting CP won 3-2 away against SC Farense. In that match, the guests had as many as 66 possessions of the ball, and as many as 14 shots more, so in the end they deservedly won. Sporting CP have a great defense. They allowed only four goals in the last six matches. Hidemasa Morita plays great and does not allow the opponent to play in the middle of the field. Viktor Gyokeres is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, and he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance. Jerry St. Juste (Muscle Injury) and Sebastián Coates (Muscle Injury) will not be taking part in Sporting Lisbon coach Rúben Amorim.
Atalanta also had a successful first two months of the season. They started the Europa League with a 2-0 win against Rakow. In Serie A, Atalanta won 13 points from the first seven rounds. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is five points behind league leaders Inter. Atalanta are unbeaten in their last four matches. In the previous match, they played 0:0 at home with Juventus. The home team was significantly better, but they failed to convert chances into goals. 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. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup. Atalanta manager Gian Gasperini has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. El Bilal Touré (Hamstring Injury) and Gianluca Scamacca (Hamstring Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
