It has not been two easy weeks for Atalanta, with the elimination from first the Europa League first and then the Coppa Italia. The goal is to pick themselves up, and there would be no better game to do it: the direct confrontation with Sampdoria. They are six points up on Gian Piero Gasperini's side, who want to achieve qualification for Europa League for the second consecutive year. A possible dream: "For us now begins a new season", said the coach at the press conference.
In the meantime Toloi and Petagna are back, so no one is absent for Gasperini who can now count on the full squad. Among the members who will resume their place is Etrit Berisha; in front of him the likely Caldara, Masiello and Toloi; on the wings Spinazzola and Hateboer; Freuler and de Roon in the middle with Cristante; Ilicic and Gomez in front. Here is the probable formation:
Atalanta (3-4-3): Berisha; Toloi, Caldara, Masiello; Hateboer, de Roon, Freuler, Spinazzola; Ilicic, Petagna, Gomez
