Serie A preview: Atalanta distracted by Europa League, Empoli snatching points for relegation

Atalanta, who play at home, have been in strong form this season, with a game in hand, five points behind Roma and still holding on to their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. And they beat Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia semi-finals to reach the final against Juventus. In the previous Europa League knockout round, Atalanta also defeated the Reds Liverpool to advance. Atalanta's performance in the third line is undoubted, but the recent dense competition has caused huge problems for the fitness of the Atalanta players, and Atalanta will participate in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final next week, the team will make some changes to the squad and will not go all out.

The away Empoli team has only 31 points, only three points ahead of the relegation zone team, and the relegation pressure is not small. Although Empoli have been weak at home and away this season, they have won just four games on the road so far, and the victory is a standard away football team. However, Empoli, who is fighting for relegation, wants to take advantage of the rotation of Atalanta's squad to grab points, and the desire to fight for relegation is strong, and Empoli defeated the defending champion Napoli 1-0 at home in the last round. This shows that Empoli still has a certain upset attribute at the end of the league.

In terms of head-to-head records, the last three meetings between the two sides, Atalanta, who are playing at home, have won all of them and crushed their opponents in an all-round way. However, Atalanta will have some reservations in the Europa League, plus Empoli will have to complete the task of relegation. Therefore, this game may as well be optimistic that the more eager visiting team Empoli can get out of the game.
