Week 20 brings us a match on Jan 28th where Atalanta and Sampdoria will play a match in Bergamo in a clash of the Serie A. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 1 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. 6th placed Atalanta is fresh off their 3-3 draw against Juventus. Ademola Lookman scored the first goal for Atalanta in the 4th minute, but Ángel Di María got the equalizer for Juventus in the 25th minute . Atalanta is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 19th placed Sampdoria, recorded a 0-1 loss against Udinese. Kingsley Ehizibue scored the first goal for Udinese in the 88th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Sampdoria couldn’t manage to score, and Udinese took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 8 of their last 10.
On the 13th of August, Sampdoria hosted Atalanta in their last match together. Atalanta won by a score of 2 to 0. Rafael Tolói struck first for Atalanta in the 26th minute on a feed from Mario Pašalić, then Ademola Lookman added another in the 4th minute of the second half’s stoppage time In the end, Sampdoria was frustrated by Atalanta’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Atalanta ended the match with the shutout victory.
Sampdoria hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Tommaso Augello and Manolo Gabbiadini, and they each have 1 goal. Atalanta is glad to have Ademola Lookman in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 6 goals.
