Match preview
Matchday 10 ends in Bergamo, where a stretched Atalanta host a Parma side stuck in the bottom three. Sarri's team have gone four games without a win in all competitions since beating Pafos in the Conference League on October 15. Those games were a 3-2 defeat at AC Milan, a 2-0 loss at Ajax, a wild 4-4 home draw with Frosinone and a 2-2 draw at Fiorentina on Thursday. They are 13th on 11 points, and almost all of those points have come at home: three wins and a draw from five league games in Bergamo, and one point from four away. Parma come in under Alberto Gilardino after a goalless home draw with Udinese on Wednesday, which ended a run of three straight league defeats. They are 18th on five points and have scored only five league goals, the fewest in Serie A. Their defence has held up better than that suggests: they have conceded 15, fewer than Atalanta's 17. Sarri's message on Sunday was that his side must be shorter and more compact without the ball after conceding six times in two games.
