Atalanta have not been nearly as confident. After 28 rounds of the Italian Championship, the Bergamo side have earned 46 points, which currently puts them in 7th place overall. They are now 5 points behind the top four. In the national cup, Atalanta also made it to the semifinals, drawing 2-2 with Lazio in the first leg of that stage.
