Prediction

  • Atalanta remain at the top of the Serie A table after an improved second half and Gian Piero Gasperini's impactful subs saw them find a narrow win against Cagliari, who were denied a goal and perhaps a point at least by an excellent performance from Marco Carnesecchi, who pulled off eight saves.
  • Empoli are coming off a 1-0 loss to Torino as they remain in 10th place.
  • Empoli have been a tricky opponent for the Atalanta in recent seasons and will be hard to break down, but the Bergamaschi have a lot of quality this season and have improved in their game management against weaker teams.
  • Atalanta have fast starts at home and an early goal could make things easier for them to handle, but they'll also need to be focused in defence having kept just one clean sheet in their last five matches at home.
