Our prediction for the match Atalanta vs Arsenal
“The Bergamascs” have truly returned to the top of Italian football. However, they lost to Juventus again in the final of the Coppa Italia. At the same time, they managed to achieve success in the Serie A and, that is the most important, achieve an international triumph by winning the Europa League. “The Gunners”, having returned well to the Champions League that season (they won their group and played in the play-offs), were simultaneously fighting for the title in the Premier League. Still, the ream was a little short again: it fell a couple of points behind the favourites, Manchester City.
Arteta did not particularly ask to strengthen the squad. For a long time, there was only 1 newcomer, the versatile defender, Calafiori, but closer to the end of the “window” the club bought Merino and “took” in Sterling. As for the team from Bergamo, the changes are clearly greater. For instance, there happened the sale of Koopmeiners (although there are quite a few newcomers, from Retegui, who immediately began to score, to Rui Patricio).
It is reasonable to mention that the goals of the Italian Argentine did not particularly help “the Goddess”. The team lost to Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup – 0-2. As for the Serie A, the club, after winning over Lecce, lost to Torino and was defeated by Inter. Then, after the international break, it won with a 3-2 score in the game against Fiorentina, albeit with difficulty. “The Red and Whites”, having started with a 2-0 result in the struggles with Wolverhampton and Aston Villa, lost points with 10 men in the game against Brighton, allowing the opponent to level the score after the break. In September, in the crucial derby against Tottenham, the team managed to take a minimal victory – 1-0.
