Atalanta form and stats

The visitors are W7-D3-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. Atalanta has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

de Roon and Højlund scored in Atalanta's previous match, the home game against Empoli that ended 2-1. That win felt good as this club had gone four league rounds without victory. Højlund came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Empoli last time out, making the manager Gasperini feel like a tactical genius. Midfielder Ruggeri was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.43. Ruggeri served one assist, hit four key passes and had 54 successful passes (of 59 total).

Prior to that match, the Atalanta manager Gasperini faced defeat when travelling to Napoli and losing 0-2.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Atalanta have scored 20 goals in 14 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 15 goals have been conceded by Atalanta in these games.

Head 2 Head

Atalanta have avoided a loss in the last 4 fixtures (3-1-0) facing Cremonese.

The records show that this isn''t the first time these parties face each other this campaign, as the history books show this recent match: Atalanta - Cremonese 1-1.
