Questions Of The Day
Who could score for Atalanta against Sporting?
In the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Ademola Lookman was starring for Nigeria’s national football team.
Particularly in their knockout run, it was the Lookman show. In the last two games, only one man has found the back of the net for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side. That man is Ademola Lookman.
Why back Atalanta to book their Europa League quarter-finals tickets?
Atalanta has outdone their hosts in terms of European form, with their undefeated display in topping Group D winning four in six games, meaning they’ve lost just two of their 20 Europa League games winning 12 in the process.
