Atalanta and Parma Starting XIs Announced

Atalanta sit 11th in Serie A with 11 points. The home side have not won at home since beating Venezia on 12 October. After drawing 4-4 with Frosinone in their last home match, Atalanta lost 2-2 away to Fiorentina on Thursday, with Charles De Ketelaere and Nicola Zalewski scoring in that match.

Maurizio Sarri warned his players not to underestimate Parma. The head coach highlighted the opponent's deep defensive structure and the danger they pose on the counterattack.

Parma are in the bottom three of the table with 5 points. Alberto Gilardino has been looking for his first win since taking over from Carlos Cuesta at the end of September. Parma drew 0-0 with Udinese on Wednesday, earning a point from the match after three consecutive defeats. Bernabé's penalty in that match was saved.

Due to injuries, Sarri has named only 19 players in his squad. Gianluca Gaetano and Thomas Kristensen, who were injured in Florence, have reported that they will return after the international break. Bellanova, Scamacca, Raspadori, Kolašinac, Kessié, Hien, Kossounou and Pompei are also not in the squad. For Parma, Bernabé will not play as he felt muscle trouble in his left leg during training on Sunday. Elphege, however, has returned to the squad after appendicitis surgery.
