Parma vs Atalanta Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Pre-season Friendlies 2024

Both teams are set to lock horns after three years in a club friendly.

The clubs went through different phases last season. Hosts Parma emerged as Serie B champions to gain promotion to Italy’s premier football league. At the same time, Atalanta fought hard to secure a fourth spot in Serie A. They also won their first European title by beating Bayern Leverkusen in the Europa League final.

Fabio Pecchia coached Parma Calcio played impressive football last season to enter the first division again. The side will take this fixture as a vital test. A match against the Serie A giants would help them analyse their capabilities & work accordingly. This will help them to maintain their spot in the upcoming season at Italy’s top division.

Atalanta BC ended their 61-year wait for a trophy last season when they finally clinched their maiden European silverware. La Dea didn’t win in their previous two fixtures. They will surely look to regain form against Parma. Later they face FC  St. Pauli before facing the mighty Real Madrid to clinch the coveted UEFA Super Cup.

Form

Atalanta (in all competitions): D-L-W-W-W

Players to Watch:

Dennis Man (Parma)

The 25-year-old Romanian winger is expected to start from the right. His pace, dribbling skills & goal-scoring capabilities were aptly used by Fabio Pecchia last season. With 11 goals in 32 Serie B appearances, he played a vital role in the club’s promotion to the top division.

Man will have to display his best game to penetrate Atalanta’s back-line. He also needs to take a few long-range shots to surprise the opponents.

Teun Koopmeiners (Atalanta)

The Atalanta BC No. 7 is popular among the fans for his playmaking skills & habit of scoring goals. Last season, he struck 12 goals in 34 Serie A games.

Koopmeiners partnering well with Ademola Lookman is a threat to any side in Italy. Besides creating chances, the 26-year-old will also look to strike at the correct moments to give his club the lead.
