U23s, Saturday homecoming v Virtus Verona
15:00 CET kick-off in Caravaggio
On Saturday February 8 Atalanta U23s will be back in Caravaggio as the Nerazzurri play host to Virtus Verona in a 15:00 CET kick-off for the Serie C NOW MD26.
A "Thrilla in Verona", the reverse fixture saw Atalanta U23s battle back to secure a 2-1 win, even with a man down, thanks to goals from Navarro and Alessio.
Here are the match highlights.
The Serie C NOW Group A MD7 saw Atalanta Under-23s walk off the Gavagnin-Nocini stadium with the full three points after sewing up a breathtaking 1-2 win, made even more oustanding considering that coach Modesto's lads were one-man-down for the whole second half.
HOW THE TEAMS FARED IN THE LATEST ROUND
Despite facing their second consecutive faux pas as Pergolettese ran 3-1 winners in Crema, coach Modesto's side is still holding their ground in 4th place with 40 points.
On the other hand, Virtus Verona come into the match riding a wave of two straight wins, the latest being over league leaders Padova, who had been the only unbeaten team across all three Serie C groups. The Rossoblù have picked up 33 points and currently sit in 11th place on the table.
THE REFEREE
Mr. Gianmarco Vailati from the Crema AIA section will officiate the match. His assistants will be Nirintsalama T. Andriambelo from Roma 1 and Francesco Raccanello from Viterbo, while the fourth official will be Lorenzo Moretti from Cesena.
WHERE TO WATCH
Atalanta U23s v Virtus Verona will be both aired live on Sky Sport's TV channels and streamed online via Now TV and Sky Go.
