Gasperini: We’re confident of finishing on a high against Villarreal

Atalanta boss, Gian Piero Gasperini has revealed the confident level of his Atalanta side ahead of their decisive final Champions League group match at home against Villarreal.

La Dea have all to play for on Wednesday night, as Gasperini’s men must win against the Yellow Submarine to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.

Atalanta started Group F with a 2-2 draw with Villarreal in Spain and Gasperini expects another difficult task at the Gewiss Stadium.

“There’s confidence to hit the finish line. This is a strong team, they won the Europa League a few months ago,” Gasperini said at a press conference.

“They are going through some difficulties in the league, but this is another competition. We know what difficulties to expect.

“We arrive after a good run of results, but we must cancel out both defeats and wins, we restart from 0-0 and there’s only one useful result.

“We will play the decisive game at home, but we are not sure of qualifying. However, we are confident.”

A win for Atalanta will take them to the second position on the log with nine points, two points ahead of Villareal who will be dumped to the Europa league if they lose.
