Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta will be aiming to move one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League when they take on Parma at Stadio Ennio Tardini on Matchday 35. The Orobici are on the right track to secure a top-four finish, but they can’t afford any complacency in the season finale. Atalanta goalkeeper Gollini, who was sent off in the 1-1 draw with Sassuolo, is banned for the match, but he should be the only absentee in the away side.
The Gli Emiliani, on the other hand, failed to secure the Serie A survival, meaning that they head into Sunday’s clash with the lack of motivation. Anyhow, Atalanta are more of a team than Parma, and we predict that the favourites are going to prove their worth on the field. Hernani is banned for the hosts, while Man, Burgman, Mihaila, Inglese, Zirkzee, Cyprien, Karamoh, Conti, Caviglia, and Iacoponi are all out of contention through injuries.
