Newcastle United are back in action with another set of matches this week as they take on Atalanta at St. James' Park on Friday. Both teams have improved in recent weeks and will want to win this game.
Newcastle United vs Atalanta Preview
Atalanta finished in eighth place in the Serie A standings last season and have struggled to meet expectations over the past year. The away side eased past Como by a 4-0 margin last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, secured an 11th-place finish in the Premier League table last season and have stepped up to the plate over the course of their transition. The Magpies slumped to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Benfica in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
