Atalanta started winning streak of eight matches at the beginning of October. After that they have won three games and lost three. They have taken 1 out of 15 points from teams ahead of them in the table. This scout report will provide a tactical analysis of Atalantas most recent matches. It will also look at changes made to Gian Piero Gasperini’s tactical approach.

Gasperini's team plays 3-4-3, 3.4.1-2 and 3 -4 -2-1 formations. The formation is the core of Gasperini’s philosophy. Other formations have been used situationally in different matches.

Atalanta's defensive performance has been poor. Atalantas produced three more non-penalty shots than their opponents, but their quality was poor, with their average shot being three yards further away and producing 2.5 times less xG and 3 times more xGoT.

Atalanta has won the possession battle in three of its fifteen matches this season. Since Sassuolo, Atalantas has had at least 47% possession in each match. The team has been playing with a high-intensity and aggressive pressing style. They have been using a 5-3-2 formation with wingbacks. They haven't been used in a specific defensive shape. At alantans are on pace to concede 54 goals this year. If this trend continues, they will be eliminated from the Champions League. It is important to correct the wrongs of the last matches.

Atalanta haven't scored more than two goals since Torino at the beginning of August. Palomino's goal against Inter was shot from less than 10 yards away. Atalantas' tactical approach is focused on attacking and defending. Rasmus Hojlund has had an energetic start to his career in Bergamo. The Danish teenager has missed some good chances. The team's average possession is 53.9%. It has never been the highest in Serie A, but it has always been towards the top end of the table. It's always kept the ball more and scored the most.

Atalanta's defensive shape sets up their counterattacking strategy. Joakim Maehle is the main catalyst for progress for the team. He was the most influential player in the game against Inter. He covered Edin Dzeko for Inter's second goal. Atalantas are attacking the space with direct play rather than combination play. They are currently in Serie A. Their form is declining. The team is not as good as in previous seasons.

Atalanta's current form is unimpressive, but they have started the season well. In the last two matches of the new year, Atalantas came back with 4 out of 6 possible points.
