Serie A | Atalanta v Como: Probable starting lineups

Start

Atalanta’s recent Champions League draw against Arsenal has left a bittersweet taste, but it has also energized the team for their upcoming Serie A match against Como. While transitioning from the international stage to facing a newly promoted team might be challenging, Como’s high ambitions and the derby atmosphere will help Gasperini’s men refocus. Fabregas, Como’s manager, has clarified that he won’t be playing on the backfoot, as his team seeks their first victory of the season in Bergamo.

Regarding team news, Fabregas has Dossena back for his 4-2-3-1 formation and is likely to stick with the lineup that nearly secured a win against Bologna. He’s expected to prefer Cutrone over Belotti, with Nico Paz and Strefezza in support.

Gasperini, on the other hand, is considering rotation with an eye on the upcoming Bologna match just five days after their Champions League fixture. This could see Brescianini, Samardzic, Pasalic, and Bellanova starting, with Rui Patricio potentially in goal. However, defensive options are limited due to injuries to Godfrey and Toloi.


Probable Atalanta lineup (3-4-1-2): Rui Patricio; Djimsiti, Hien, Kossounou; Bellanova, Pasalic, Brescianini, Zappacosta; Samardzic; De Ketelaere, Lookman. Manager: Gasperini.

Probable Como lineup (4-2-3-1): Audero; Iovine, Kempf, Dossena, Moreno; Perrone, Sergi Roberto; Strefezza, Paz, Fadera; Cutrone. Manager: Fabregas.
