just read a preview which said the several analysts like the writer himself think Atalanta is one of the top teams in Europe, but the football analysts do not think alike. I am not sure I would call anyone a specialist or analyst who fails to see Atalanta’s class!

-2.5 is a massive handicap and Atalanta are about the only team that I can think of comfortably covering it, and despite Crotone finally panicked and fired their coach Strappa I see no light in the tunnel for them. The new coach Serse Cosmi is a really surprising name, mostly done his career in lower leagues, and usually not much even 20 games per contract! What he wants is fighters, and if the case of Crotone was lack of fighting spirit he might be useful. Unfortunately they lack quality.

Atalanta naturally were also in the CL last week and were stolen a good game by referee' s decision to give an early red card. In Serie A they have recently played like this:

-2是一个很深的让步，而亚特兰大是我能想到的唯一一支可以轻松赢下让步的球队，尽管克罗托内最终解雇了他们的教练斯特拉帕，但我看不到他们的希望。选择塞尔斯·科斯米（Serse Cosmi）真是令人惊讶，他的职业生涯大多是在低级联赛中完成的，每份合同通常连20场比赛都很难维持！他想要的是斗志，如果克罗托内案缺乏战斗精神，他可能会很有用。不幸的是，他们缺乏实力。

上周，亚特兰大踢了欧冠的比赛，由于裁判的一张红牌，他们没有完成出色的比赛。在意甲，他们最近的表现是这样的：

Only once in this run they have won this handicap, but the schedule has not been easy.

Crotone are last in the table and deservedly so. They are however only 8 points to go from safety and it could be done with a sudden turn of results and performances. Unfortunately I can not see it happening, and the other teams in relegation zone have been rather good in comparison to Crotone.

在这场比赛中，他们只赢了一次指数，但是赛程安排并不容易。

克罗托内排在基本法点击，理应如此。但是，距离安全区只有8分，可以通过及时的改变不幸的是，单卧不认为这种情况会发生，降级区的其他球队与克罗托内相比还不错。

They have lost last 6 games, did not deserve to win Benevento either. In fact they have lost clearly the xG-performance data in their last 13 games. Especially worried in their case I am of their performances vs top teams like Atalanta. All season they have lost 7 games by at least 3 goals, 7 goals by 2 and 4 of the losses by one single goal. Now they face they most talented and attacking team of them all. In the first encounter at home Crotone lost 1-2, but the xG was telling already then in October and was about 0.5 - 3.5.

As Atalanta have a very strong in-depth squad they would do some rotation anyway, now midfielders De Roon and Hateboer are out and Zupata probably rested from the attack. Crotone also have relatively competitive side at disposal as only defender Djidi and attacking midfielder Benali are missed.

In a nutshell this is partly a questionmark as Cosmi will for sure bring some extra energy and try to cause some sort of chaos. Atalanta on the other hand are the best team to handle early storms and all kinds of peculiarities, so if they are on their normal playing foot I seem them scoring +4 goals and beating the handicap, but naturally if you have -2 at asian handicap available it would be a lot more likable!

5-1

他们输掉了最后6场比赛，也没有赢得与贝内文托的比赛。实际上，他们在最近的13场比赛中显然都没有在预期进球数据中取胜。对于他们的情况，我比较担心他们对像亚特兰大这样的顶级球队的表现。整个赛季，他们7场比赛输了3球，7场比赛输了2球，4场比赛输了一个球。现在他们面对着意甲最有才华和攻击性的团队。在主场的第一次交手，克罗托内1-2输球，但当时的预期进球大约是0.5-3.5。

由于亚特兰大队有很强的深度阵容，他们还是会做一些轮换，中场球员德鲁恩和哈特伯尔无法出战，祖帕塔可能会继续休息。克罗托内也有一些阵容的问题，后卫迪吉迪和进攻中场贝纳利缺席。

简而言之，这场比赛可能存在一定的变数，因为Cosmi肯定会带来一些额外的能量并尝试给亚特兰大制造一些威胁。另一方面，亚特兰大是最好的进攻球队，因此如果他们像往常一样比赛，我认为他们可以打进4个球以上，竞彩-2更加安全！

比分参考5-1
