Atalanta wants to continue stringing together victories, Udinese is looking for a trip, also to find that rhythm from the beginning of the season. The Nerazzurri, fresh from five consecutive victories, have every intention of maintaining the pace and putting pressure on Napoli and Inter: in the event of a victory, the Bergamo players would be able to catch up with Conte’s men, awaiting the big match at San Siro. The Bianconeri, on the other hand, are coming off two consecutive defeats, three in the last five days: they need to make a change to return to the top of the table.
Some changes for the Nerazzurri, with Ederson starting from the bench. In place of the Brazilian Pasalic, with Samardzic, former player, who will place himself behind the two strikers Retegui and Lookman. The guests line up 3-5-2 with Thauvin and Davis completing the unit: Lovric, Karlstrom and Payero will take center stage.
