They took just four out of nine possible points in the previous three Serie A rounds to drop to the fourth place in the ladder.
To make things worse for Gianpiero Gasperini, he will be without his main striker Luis Muriel in this game as the Colombian forward got sent off in the mentioned loss to Lazio.
Atalanta will try and bounce back in the first game of Sunday’s Serie A schedule as they travel to Stadio Carlo Castellani to take on Empoli in Gameweek No 12.
Empoli also have a win, a draw, and a loss in the previous three league rounds. However, they will come into this off the back of a tough 4-0 loss at Juventus nine days ago.
On the other side, it is worth noting that Paolo Zanetti’s men have only lost four matches since the beginning of the season and they will surely be a tough nut to crack for the out-of-form Atalanta side here.
Empoli vs Atalanta Prediction
Empoli have allowed three goals to AC Milan and four goals to Juventus in the recent defeats. However, they also shipped no more than eight goals in total in the remaining nine league games this term.
Since Atalanta offered nothing offensively last weekend against Lazio and since the visitors will also be without their main striker on Sunday, we are very much tempted to back Empoli to keep a clean sheet at the 5.50 odds. You can also try your luck with the goalless draw as the correct score punt at the 13.00 odds.
