Atalanta vs Spezia Prediction

Atalanta are currently seventh in the league, two points behind fourth-placed Inter Milan. They have won three of their last five league games, and attacker Ademola Lookman, formerly of Everton and RB Leipzig, has arguably been their best player this season.

The 25-year-old did not enjoy the best of spells in the Premier League with Everton and Leicester City, but the Nigeria international could potentially return to England, with Crystal Palace linked. Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners is in demand as well; the 25-year-old has been linked with Liverpool.

Spezia, on the other hand, are 17th in the league, with goal difference the only reason they are ahead of 18th-placed Hellas Verona. For them, Angola international M'Bala Nzola has been the star. The 27-year-old will be in demand come the summer transfer window, with West Ham United and Crystal Palace touted as potential destinations.

They sold Polish center-back Jakub Kiwior to Arsenal in January. Their current form of two losses and three draws in their last five league games does not inspire confidence.

Atalanta have enjoyed some good performances this season and they should be able to emerge victorious here.

Prediction: Atalanta 3-0 Spezia
