NextGOAL tip: Atalanta -1 · 3 stars
Atalanta and Parma meet often enough to count as a familiar pairing, and the home side usually comes away with the result. This time, though, the two teams do not start from the same place, because Parma arrive in a state where finding the net is very difficult. Atalanta have just finished a league game with a 2-2 share of the points after an entertaining end-to-end match, while their season overall shows 16 scored and 17 conceded in 9 games. You can see the attack has something about it, but the defence gives opponents chances so often that they are constantly chasing to fix things. Parma, meanwhile, have just drawn 0-0 at home with their opponents and have scored only 5 goals in 9 league games. They are a team that can defend but barely put any pressure on the opposing back line. The game is likely to flow in one direction: Atalanta holding the ball and pushing forward, while Parma drop back to wait for counter-attacking moments and try to keep the score as stable as possible. If the home side start quickly and do not let the game drag on until half-time without a goal, this match looks likely to finish with a fairly clear margin.
