Only three days after Saturday’s match against LR Vicenza in Caravaggio, Atalanta U23s will be off to Zanica for a Tuesday night derby: for the midweek fixture of the Serie C NOW MD26 (Group A), coach Modesto’s lads will play AlbinoLeffe in an 18:30 CET kick-off on Wednesday 13 February. 

The reverse fixture, namely Atalanta Under-23s’ first historic “Bergamasco derby” played back on October 7, culminated in a 1-1 draw, with both goals scored in the latter part of the second half: while Modesto’s lads took the lead via Palestra, the visitors eventually equalised from the spot – click here for the official match report of the MD7 game and check the link below to rewind on the official highlights.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE REVERSE FIXTURE

LATEST RESULTS
Despite the Renate game in hand and their latest 1-2 setback against Vicenza, Atalanta Under-23s are now 5th on 38 points, tied with Pro Vercelli and Lumezzane, and namely 5 clear of 11th-placed Albinoleffe.
Oddly enough, not only did the Blucelesti come off worst from their latest fixture losing 2-1 away to Legnago, but also, just like coach Modesto’s side, managed to pull back a goal in full stoppage time.

REFEREE
Andrea Zoppi from the Florence AIA section will officiate the match. His assistants will be Cristian Robilotta from Sala Consilina and Filippo Pignatelli from Viareggio, while the fourth official will be Cosimo Papi from Prato.

WHERE TO WATCH
AlbinoLeffe v Atalanta U23s will be both aired live on Sky Sport’s TV channels and streamed online via Now TV and Sky Go.
