The Goddess have lost two of their last three home matches in Serie A, while the other game ended in a win at their home ground, Gewiss Stadium.
 
"This is always a tough venue for us, Empoli are a very attack-minded side who create chances,” Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini said after their win over Empoli.
 
"It was a good game, there could’ve been more goals at both ends, but these are three very important points. We are in the Champions League too, Duvan Zapata arrived late from South America, so it was important for him to get a goal. 
 
"Muriel played really well in the first half, he’s coming back from an injury and unfortunately I had already used up a slot with Rafael Toloi’s injury, so preferred to make the change at half-time rather than wait.”

Meanwhile, Udinese were frustrated by Bologna at home in their previous league game which ended in a 1-1 draw and it was played on October 17.
 
The draw extended Little Zebras' winless run to five matches in this competition having registered two successive draws and three consecutive defeats. 
 
Udinese are also winless in their last two away matches in Serie A having recorded one draw and one defeat as the visitors.
 
The last meeting between Atalanta and Udinese in the league was on 3 April 2021. 
 
Atalanta secured a narrow 3-2 victory over Udinese in an encounter that was played at the Gewiss Stadium.
