Competition: Italy Serie A
Date: Sun 31.March
Match begins: 10:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Ennio Tardini

This could be an interesting match as Parma have their presumed home advantage while Atalanta are ahead in the Serie A table with their 12 point advantage.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
