Atalanta U20 desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 18 at 1:00 PM in the Campionato Primavera 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Empoli U20 come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Atalanta U20 travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Empoli U20 won their last outing, while Atalanta U20 suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

In 2 previous meetings, Empoli U20 lead 0–2 with 0 draws. Their last encounter ended in Atalanta U20 won 1–0.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Empoli U20 clear favorites, but Atalanta U20 have shown they can grind out results. Expect Empoli U20 to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
