Atalanta will still be fuming after their controversial Champions League defeat to Real Madrid and aim to take it out on Sampdoria. Read our reasons for Sampdoria vs Atalanta prediction and betting tips.
Samp is coming off a 1-0 loss to Lazio and must reshuffle without suspended Andre Silva in midfield, but that should give Mikkel Damsgaard a chance to shine. Ernesto Torregrossa is also expected to miss out. Claudio Ranieri acknowledged Sampdoria could’ve done better in a 1-0 defeat to Lazio, 'but it certainly wasn’t a relaxed game' for the hosts either. Luis Alberto scored the only goal of the game after 24 minutes at the Stadio Olimpico. “We were missing the final ball to send the players clear on goal. We provided a lot of smoke and not enough fire,” Ranieri told the media. “I cannot ask for much more from the lads, we leave the field with our heads held high against an excellent Lazio side, and that is what’s important for me. I think it was a very balanced game throughout, then Lazio broke the deadlock on our error, as we cleared it backward rather than putting it out for a throw-in. In the final 10 minutes of the first half, we pushed hard and created quite a lot of pressure. I don’t recall a Pepe Reina save, but it certainly wasn’t a relaxed afternoon for Lazio. They indeed had a lot of counter-attacks, but they were almost all offside anyway. Perhaps the only one that didn't saw Omar Colley intercept from Vedat Muriqi. We didn’t make enough crosses to the near post, there was only one really that found Fabio Quagliarella, and I don’t think it was a penalty. I didn’t see it properly.”
Ranieri was asked about his irritation at criticism for his Sampdoria squad. “I just thought it a bit unfair that some people always want to stand out and go against the grain, asking for who knows what from lads who are fighting hard and keeping us mid-table, when Samp was in the danger zone for three-quarters of last season. We’ve had some good performances, some that weren’t great, but we’re hardly alone in that.”
Sampdoria (4-4-2): Audero; Bereszynski, Yoshida, Tonelli, Augello; Candreva, Thorsby, Ekdal, Jankto; Damsgaard, Keita
Suspended: Silva
Injured: Torregrossa
La Dea earned commiserations from football fans all over the world following Remo Freuler’s very harsh red card just 17 minutes into the game and narrow late 1-0 defeat. That performance will only have fired them up even more ahead of this trip to Marassi, but a thigh issue will probably rule out Duvan Zapata. Gian Piero Gasperini felt the referee ‘ruined the game’ with that early red card. ‘We might’ve lost to Real Madrid anyway, but at least we would’ve been allowed to play.’ Inevitably, the coach was furious with the German referee for punishing Remo Freuler with a straight red card just 17 minutes in, judging Ferland Mendy’s run to be a clear scoring opportunity when he had knocked it sideways and seemed to be going for the cross. La Dea held out brilliantly for most of the match, capitulating only to a Mendy curler at the 86th minute. “What remains is the bitterness that we couldn’t get to play the game we were waiting for,” the coach told media. “Aside from the result, the satisfaction was getting to play against Real Madrid in the Champions League. I don’t know what the result would’ve been, but the game was completely ruined by an incident that was judged excessively. Qualification puts us in a way in the best possible position, as we only have to win and can’t think of anything else! We had hoped for a different result and above all a different match. We were in the final minutes, we just had to bring the result home. Yet we conceded a goal with Mendy’s right foot, so that’s a bit weird, almost a fluke. It’s a pity. Considering how the game went, a 1-0 result isn’t even that bad, but we feel regret that we weren’t allowed to play.”
Josip Ilicic was introduced as a substitute, then hauled off again half-an-hour later. “There were only four minutes left, I intended to shore up the defense, but unfortunately we conceded a goal moments after the substitution.” To make matters worse, Duvan Zapata also limped off with a thigh problem after just 30 minutes. “I spoke to him, it doesn’t seem to be a strain, it’s more of a twinge around the quadricep. He was afraid of doing more damage. It’s unfortunate, as we had moved into a good position to deal with the situation. It would’ve been a very different game with 11 against 11. People talk about absentees, fine, but they still have immense quality in the squad,” ended Gasperini.
Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Gollini; Toloi, Romero, Palomino; Maehle, Freuler, Pessina, Gosens; Malinovskyi; Miranchuk, Muriel
Suspended: Djimsiti, Gasperini (coach)
Injured: Hateboer, Duvan Zapata

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.
