The team ends the year with 41 points from 18 matches.
Atalanta is dreaming big. Even after drawing 1-1 with Lazio last Saturday, the 29th, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team finished the first half of the 2024/25 season at the top of the Italian Serie A. Check out the top football scores on live sport scores.
Napoli’s victory over Venezia in the same round left both teams tied at the top with 41 points, but Atalanta has the edge in goal difference: 23 to 15. Right behind them is reigning champions Inter Milan, with 40 points and a game in hand.
Current Europa League champions, Atalanta has had a strong season so far and has high expectations. The team has never won the Italian Championship, and their only major domestic trophy was the Coppa Italia in 1962/63. In addition to the Cup, the Bergamo club has achieved success in Italy’s lower divisions, with one Serie C title in the 1981-82 season and five Serie B titles (1939/40, 1958/59, 1983/84, 2005/06, and 2010/11).
There’s still a long way to go for the title, but there’s reason to dream. In 18 matches, Gasperini’s team has won 13, drawn 2, and lost only 3. Additionally, they have the second-best attack in the competition with 43 goals – two fewer than Inter Milan – and have conceded only 20. The best defense belongs to second-place Napoli, with just 12 goals conceded.
After the year-end break, Atalanta resumes its title chase on January 11th, when they visit Udinese in the 20th round of Serie A. Before that, La Dea will face Bologna in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. BBscore football, your reliable destination for match outcomes.
