Atalanta is preparing to challenge Parma in a match that promises to be decisive for the league table. Coach Gian Piero Sarri, who has to manage a team in the midst of an injury emergency, has outlined a probable 4‑2‑3‑1 formation. Goalkeeper Carnesecchi is confirmed, while the four-man defense sees Obric and Scalvini in the center, with Zappacosta on the right and Bernasconi on the left. In midfield Sarri focuses on Ederson, Pasalic and the Elmas-DeKetelaere combination, with Zalewski favored over Rowe. The attack is entrusted to Krstovic, the only confirmed striker.
On the Parma front, the squad presents some changes compared to the last match. Goalkeeper Corvi will take his place again, while Diego Carlos will be the right-hand man supporting Troilo. On the left, the coach left the role between Ndiaye and Drobnic open, with the former potentially receiving his first chance in the league. Captain Delprato will change position, moving to the right lane to increase containment, while Valeri will be his linemate on the left. In central defense, Bernabé will be supported by Keita and the insertions of Fabbian. The attack remains stable with Touré and Romero as the cornerstones.
Both teams find themselves in pressure situations: Atalanta tries to consolidate their position in the standings, while Parma must avoid falling into a risk zone. Sarri will have to deal with a lack of players as Parma look to exploit their defensive solidity to create opportunities in attack. The match promises to be a balanced match, with the possibility of a result that could significantly influence the ranking of the two teams.
