Serie A: Atlanta vs Sampdoria
At 3:50 a.m. Beijing time on March 1, 2022, the last match of the 27th round of the Serie A, Atalanta will face Sampdoria at home. Atalanta has performed decently this season, ranking 5th in the league with 44 points after 25 league rounds, and in the case of 2 games in the absence of games, there is a 6-point gap with Juventus in front of them, and there is still a chance to compete for the top 4. From the data point of view, Atalanta scored 46 goals in 25 league rounds, conceded 30 goals, and the offensive and defensive performance was acceptable. In terms of lineup, the team currently has a lot of injuries, has reached 8 people, including the main strikers Muriel and Palomino and others.
In the Europa League, the team eliminated the Greek Super League team Olympiacos and successfully qualified for the round of 16, but unfortunately, this was achieved at the expense of the league results; looking back at the situation in The Serie A at Atlanta, the team has not won five consecutive league games, including the embarrassing record of losing at home to relegation team Cagliari. In addition, Atalanta's home record this season is indeed terrible, with 12 league home games, 3 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, and its home field ranks 4th.
Sampdoria has been in the middle and lower reaches of the league in recent seasons, and this season's performance has not been ideal, after 26 rounds of league, it has achieved 7 wins, 5 draws and 14 losses, ranking 15th in the league with 26 points, currently only 4 points higher than the relegation zone, and the team has shown a relegation crisis. In terms of lineup, Sampdoria's current injury list has reached 7 people, including the main players Sebastian Jovinko, Stefano Sensi and Yaschilderson.
Sampdoria's recent performances have been very jumpy, the team last round of the league home against Empoli, 42% of the possession, 8 shots on goal and 3 shots on target, with Quagliarella's two goals, the final victory was 2-0. However, it is worth noting that although Sampdoria returned to the winning track, the team's recent away results have been very bad, and it has lost 4 consecutive away games, which shows that the trend of the team's "home and strong away" is very obvious.
In terms of past encounters between the two teams, Atalanta has won 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats in the last 10 matches against Sampdoria, and the past performance is not ideal. In recent times, Atalanta's recent two-sided battle has seen the main players have been physically limited, while Sampdoria is very jumpy but has shown relegation pressure. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, it is still obvious to give the home team obvious support, and with the current strength and state comparison between the two sides, it is not difficult for Atalanta to score 3 points in this battle.
