Atalanta flew into fourth place with their third consecutive victory and host a Crotone side making their debut under new coach Serse Cosmi. Read our reasons for Atalanta vs Crotone prediction and betting tips.
Even without Duvan Zapata and Hans Hateboer, La Dea are still going strong and swept Sampdoria aside 2-0 at the weekend. Gian Piero Gasperini admitted Atalanta suffered against Sampdoria and jokes saying the players are so in sync the coach ‘could be useless.’ La Dea sits third in the Serie A table with Juventus after a 2-0 away win at Sampdoria, but the Old Lady has one game in hand. “It wasn’t an easy game. We suffered in the first part, but we created some good opportunities. We improved throughout the game and we did well once we scored the opener,” Gasperini told media after the Marassi clash. “Serie A is a balanced league and it’s always difficult to face these kinds of teams. These games are complicated and it happens not to win all of them. It’s a problem we share with other clubs,” the coach added. You can’t dominate for 90 minutes, but we played a very nice game and we deserved to win.”
Josip Ilicic came off the bench in the second half, but this time Gasperini was happy with his approach. ''Ilicic did well. He even played as a center forward. I am always happy with him, but he can’t play every game. It’s crucial that he feels well.” Robin Gosens scored Atalanta’s second and is now the best goalscoring defender in Europe’s top five leagues. “Full-backs are essential for us. They can be an added value in both phases. Gosens is extraordinary for the way he finalizes the action. Maehle had scored his first goal too, but it was ruled out for offside. He has a good personality and he can find the net in the future.” Gasperini was serving a one-match ban and followed the game from the stands. “You are far from the pitch. You’d like your indications to arrive immediately. We are so in sync players may not need me anymore.”
Atalanta (3-4-3): Gollini; Toloi, Romero, Djimsiti; Maehle, Freuler, Pessina, Gosens; Malinovskyi, Muriel, Pasalic
Suspended: De Roon
Injured: Hateboer, Sutalo, Lammers
Crotone finally sacked coach Giovanni Stroppa after six consecutive defeats in which they scored just two goals. A change of tactics is expected under Cosmi, moving to four at the back and a trequartista role for Junior Messias. Crotone has announced Serse Cosmi as their new coach until the end of the season. The former Perugia tactician replaces Giovanni Stroppa who managed 12 points in 24 games with the newly promoted Serie A side. The Sharks sit at the bottom of the table. “I have good feelings. I am proud to take this responsibility. My staff and I are happy to live this journey. We know the situation, but we have the enthusiasm, and Crotone is an important club. I am thrilled, I missed Serie A,” Cosmi said. “I am grateful to the president and to those who wanted me to become the new coach of this team.” Cosmi's first game in charge of Crotone is an away clash against Atalanta on Wednesday.
In the last round, Cagliari achieved the ideal start under new coach Leonardo Semplici, as Leonardo Pavoletti scored and then won a penalty in this six-pointer relegation battle with Crotone. The Sardinians had not managed a Serie A victory since November 7 and it looked tough for them at the Stadio Scida with a poor first half. However, Pavoletti rose to nod in a Charalampos Lykogiannis cross floated to the back post, then was nudged from behind by Lisandro Magallan for a penalty, converted by Joao Pedro. Charalampos received his second yellow card, but Adam Ounas saw his curler thump the woodwork, and Alessio Cragno made a late save on Pedro Pereira’s free-kick.
Crotone (4-3-1-2): Cordaz; Pereira, Golemic, Magallan, Reca; Molina, Cigarini, Vulic; Messias; Ounas, Di Carmine
Suspended: None
Injured: Djidji, Benali

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
