Roberto D'Aversa's team have fallen behind in the league and have only earned two points in the last ten rounds, so it was pretty much inevitable that they'd drop in the standings. Today Empoli, in 17th place, is just one point ahead of the relegation zone.
Looking ahead to the match with Atalanta, the Blues have failed their last three games, including two where they conceded plenty of goals. In the previous round, Tuscany couldn't get a result against Udinese (0:3), and they also lost 2:0 at home to Milan and 1:4 to Juventus in Turin.
Atalanta
Bergamasca's last match was on Tuesday when they played Brugge at home. Atalanta lost the first away match to the Belgians 1:2, so at home, they had to go out and play for a win. But from the get-go, things went wrong for Gian Piero Gasperini's team. They conceded the first goal in the third minute, the second in the 27th minute and the third at the end of the first half. During the second half, Bergamo only scored once, meaning they were eliminated from the Champions League at the round of 16.In the Italian championship, Atalanta hosted Cagliari and also failed to succeed. Bergamasca was so focused on the Champions League that they played a pretty poor game, which ended in a 0:0 draw. At the same time, their opponents lost, so Atalanta is still in third place in the Serie A standings, only five points behind the top. So, Bergamascs is still in with a chance of winning the championship.

Expert Betting Tips
After being knocked out of the Champions League, Atalanta will be gunning for a solid win in this game. Their opponents are pretty average, so Gian Piero Gasperini's team should be able to secure a victory. Empoli lost eight of their last 10 matches and didn't win a single time. They're definitely not going to be a match for a strong team like Atalanta, who are also feeling the pressure. We're going to bet on the away team to win this one. Empoli has been leaking a lot of goals recently.
