La probabile formazione di Gasperini nella sfida di questa sera contro il Torino: i bergamaschi ritrovano Hien in campionato
A very important challenge will be staged in Bergamo this evening. Gasperini’s Atalanta, fresh from an excellent game against Barcelona, will face a Torino side that, with the change of module, seems to have found its square and has not lost in 5 consecutive games. Gasperini, on the other hand, will not change module, relying as usual on his classic 3-man defense. The Bergamasks will therefore probably take the field with a 3-4-3 with an extraordinary Carnesecchi (eighth for clean sheet in Serie A and sixth for saves) defending the goal. In front of him should play Hien, Djimsiti and Kolasinac. The only doubt is between Kolasinac and Zappacosta. Obviously in this case Zappacosta would play outside and as an arm would act Ruggeri. It hurts in this department the loss of Scalvini who after his shoulder injury against Barcelona will have to have surgery. For him the season is over.
Centrocampo a quattro: ballottaggio tra due ex granata
On the left flank, barring any resounding surprises, Ruggeri should play. On the right there is an ongoing ballot between two former Torino players: Bellanova and Zappacosta. The former has a clear advantage for now given also the amazing season he is having (so far 7 assists in 21 Serie A appearances). The two inside midfielders, on the other hand, will almost certainly be De Roon and Ederson, with the Brazilian just back from a great goal against Barcelona in the Champions League.
In attacco ballottaggio tra Pasalic e Samardzic
In the offensive trident, of course, the central point can only be Mateo Retegui. The Italo-Argentine bomber is already at a quota of 16 goals and 3 assists in this championship and will surely provide more than a few headaches for the Granata defense. Slightly further back than him will play De Ketelaere, who has already scored 5 goals and provided 5 assists for his teammates in this championship. Alongside the Belgian is an ongoing ballot between Samardzic and Pasalic, with the former slightly ahead of the latter despite the latter’s goal against Barcelona. Zaniolo is not summoned, in his place Gianluca Scamacca returns to the squad.
