They desperately need the points which lifted them from the ground and put SPAL No change them, but one swallow does not make a summer and there is a lot of hard work still to be done.
Atalanta is not the boring side to follow. One moment they were banging seven goals past Udinese at home, the next they lost 2-0 at home to 10-man Cagliari in their last league match. A 1-1 draw in the Champions League with Manchester City is a further testament to their quality. They are capable of great things, which they assert tally of 30 goals - the highest number of goals scored in the league. The 18 goals they have conceded though is level with bottom club SPAL.
Sampdoria have had the better of the last meeting between the sides, winning three of the last four meetings. Although one of the downsides is the latest and appropriate meeting last season that Atalanta won 2-1.
Sampdoria have only one win this season and that is a dangerous form of weak to bring to the game against one of the most attractive side Atalanta Serie chasing European qualification and every game they feature in tend to shout goals and this one is no different.
Atalanta two attacking Colombia noteworthy as an option scorer. Luis Muriel has eight goals and six Duvan Zapata (four in five games but doubt with injury) and both appeal as betting on their trip to Genova. Muriel is played goalscorer like when he gets a goal he is likely to get two or more.
Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 12 league games away them and it is possible to go one better.
