Atalanta

Sunday's 3-0 loss at Cagliari marked Atalanta\00B4s second straight defeat following their 1-0 setback against Livorno. The outcome saw the Bergamaschi drop to 16th in the standings. Atalanta know they face a mighty challenge when they host Juventus on Saturday but coach Antonio Conte remains optimistic his team can turn things around. "We didn't get over excited when we had a run of five positive results before just as we are not down now," said Conte. "We had problems back then and we still have them but we must resolve them. I have to do without several key players through injury and we know our task is difficult."
