Most of the attention in midweek will be on Napoli but these Atalanta vs. Spezia predictions are for a game that could impact both ends of the table.
Atalanta vs. Spezia odds
1 – Atalanta to win – 4/11
2 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 4/6
3 – Both teams to score – 19/20
4 – Duván Zapata to score at anytime – 11/10
5 – Atalanta to win 3-1 – 10/1
After a poor run of form in February and March, Atalanta have now started to put together a few good games. Gian Piero Gasperini will be hoping that those results will be enough to qualify for Europe once again – and three points from this one will be expected.
The draw away at Fiorentina and the impressive win against Roma showed that La Dea are still able to compete against some of the other challengers. But there is a real race for the top seven places now, as the season begins to draw to a close.
A bright spot for the Bergamo club is that Duván Zapata seems to be injury-free now after a frustrating season. He could well be the one who finds the net for the home side on Wednesday, in a game that Atalanta should win quite comfortably.
Spezia will be up for the fight though. Leonardo Semplici has had some success steadying the ship at the club. But he will know that his side need victories, rather than draws, to ensure that they are still in Serie A next season.
A draw last weekend away at bottom-placed Sampdoria was not good enough for a team fighting for their top-flight lives. But if M’Bala Nzola is still missing through injury, the visitors could be in for a tough evening.
Spezia have hardly been prolific with their goal-scoring this season, but Atalanta have conceded a few in recent weeks. Semplici’s side may not come away with the points but they could be backed to at least find the net on Wednesday.

Atalanta team news
Gian Piero Gasperini is still dealing with a long injury list but should be able to depend on the players that have been starting in the last few games. Ademola Lookman remains an absentee though, so Duván Zapata should get the nod up front.
Spezia team news
Leonardo Semplici continues to look to get the most out of a limited squad to keep Spezia up. If M’Bala Nzola doesn’t recover from his knock in time, he could give Eldor Shomurodov another chance to lead the line.
