On January 19, Atleti Azzurri d'Italia Stadium (Bergamo) will host the 1/8 final match of the Coppa Italia, in which Atalanta will compete with Spezia. The battle will start at 15:00 CET.

Atalanta

The club, being under the rule of Gian Piero Gasperini, was able to break into the group of giants of Italian football. Taking into the account the reaching of the Coppa Italia finals, the matches in the Champions League play-offs and a series of bronze medals in the Calcio, the 8th place, taken in the season 2021/2022, was certainly a failure. Nowadays, “the Goddess” has to prove that it, having stumbled, can return to the former level. Still, after a good beginning of the season, the club from Bergamo had been noticeably blown away by the pause. After the higher mentioned pause the team could have got a new defeat, but losing during the match against Spezia with a 0-2 score, it was able to come back and, as a result, to achieve a draw. Finally, Bologna was beaten on its own field – but that also happened in a strong-willed style, because the guests were the first to concede. Then, the team found the courage in the game with Salernitana – it was defeated with a unique-for-football 8-2 score.

Spezia

The team once, during the Second World War, became even the champion of the country – but, to tell the truth, that was an unofficial draw. In fact, the club made its debut in the Serie A in the season 2020/2021. Leaving the newcomer in the elite division, the creator of this success, Vincenzo Italiano, went to Fiorentina. Thiago Motta, who replaced the previous coach, got a decent result, having achieved the 16th place. One way or another, the Italian Brazilian was replaced last summer by Luca Gotti. Under his rule the achievements were nearly the same – modest, but, that is more important, without fatal failures. In winter, starting with the higher mentioned 2-2 score against Atalanta; “the Little Eagles” were satisfied with a goalless draw with Lecce that is the newcomer of the division. Defeating Torino in the away match, the team won by means of a single goal made after the penalty spot.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Before the mentioned 2-2 draw, which was played on January 4, Atalanta had got 3 wins in a row.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe that “the Bergamascs” will not allow misfires for the second time in a row. Let’s agree with this statement and assume that the team from Bergamo will win in a home match with “a -1 goal handicap” (odd: 1.615).
