Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta
Match Time & Date:
28/02/2022
20:45
Prediction: 1-1
Sampdoria
Atalanta will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Fiorentina when they face Sampdoria in the closing match of day 27. The Orobici are eager to stay in the Champions League race, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against La Samp. Both Djimsiti and Demiral are banned for the match, while Muriel Palomino, Ilicic, Zapata, and Muriel remain on the sidelines. Since key attackers are injured for Atalanta, we do not believe that home win should be considered.
The visitors, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Milan, with the team beating Empoli 2-0 in front of home fans. Even though Sampdoria struggle on the travels, we predict that they will hold the Orobici to a draw in Bergamo. The likes of Candreva and Bereszynski miss out through suspension, while Giovinco, Askildsen, Damsgaard, and Gabbiadini are sidelined with injuries.

Duvan Zapata was born in Cali, Colombia on 1 April, 1991. The 186-cm-tall attacker started his youth career at America de Cali, playing for the club between 2004 and 2008.
