Atalanta Team News
The team from Bergamo in next match in the Italian Cup welcomes Spezia in a great mood after a sensational victory in the last round at their stadium against Salernitana by as much as 8:2. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team became the first Serie A team that has scored eight goals in a single Serie A match since Inter beat Padua in 1996.
Atalanta started well this year after the break. In addition to the triumph against Salernitana, they beat Bologna 1-2 and drew 2-2 with the next opponent in the cup, Spezia. After 18 rounds, the team from Bergamo is in 6th position in the table with 34 points, the same as fifth-placed Lazio and seventh-placed Roma.
Atalanta scored 14 goals in the previous four matches, but despite this, they face a tough match in the cup on Thursday against Spezia. So we can expect an interesting duel with goals on both sides.
Spezia Team News
On the other hand, things are getting better for Spezia as the season progresses. After losing 7 away matches in the championship, where they failed to score a single goal in 6 of those 7 matches, Luca Gotti’s team achieved two triumphs in the last two away matches.
They are currently on a streak of 5 league games without defeat. Since the duel with Milan at the beginning of November, Spezia has recorded 3 draws (against Udinese, Atalanta and Lecce) and 2 away wins at Verona before the break and against Torino in the last round.
Despite the good results, due to the bad start of the season, Spezia still has to fight seriously to avoid the relegation zone. They are currently in 15th place on the table in the Serie A, and have 9 points more than the place that brings relegation.

Injuries and suspensions

Atalanta vs Spezia Prediction
In the previous four meetings between these two teams, Atalanta was better three times, and one meeting, the last one, two weeks ago, ended in a draw. In each of those games we saw a lot of goals, and goals were scored on both sides, so we expect the same on Thursday at the Gewiss Stadium.
We are probably waiting for an interesting duel between Atalanta and Spezia, where the team from Bergamo, as a better rival, should confirm this in front of their fans and ensure passage to the next stage of the Italian Cup competition.
