Atalanta's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Atalanta collect 30 points from their 13 away matches in the Serie A. 9 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

Impressive finishing from Koopmeiners (2), Pašalić and Miranchuk secured the home win 4-0 against Sampdoria in their previous game. Midfield player Koopmeiners was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.4/10. Koopmeiners scored two goals, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
