Atalanta vs Empoli Prediction & Betting Tips (22 December)

Atalanta still cannot count on important defender Scalvini and long-missing striker Scamacca. Matteo Retegui is the top scorer in the championship with 12 goals. The Italian international, however, started on the bench in the last two matches. It was the Nigerian Lookman (8 goals and 4 assists in SA) and the Belgian De Ketelaere (3 goals and 4 assists in SA) who made up the attacking duo and they both scored against AC Milan and Real Madrid. Atalanta has the best attack in the championship. Empoli still cannot count on potential starters Ebuehi (defender), Haas, Fazzini, Grassi and Zurkowski (midfielders) as well as replacements Brancolini and Sazonov.

During the last day, the important striker Pellegri (3 goals in SA) contracted a serious injury which should keep him away from the field all season. Finally, midfielder Henderson is suspended, and potentially starting right winger Solbakken is uncertain. We could thus find Colombo (3 goals in SA) in front, supported by Esposito (4 goals in SA) and Cacace (1 goal and 2 assists in SA). All three men scored against Hellas Verona.
