Atalanta vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
Tuesday evening will undoubtedly be a feast for the Champions League, when Atalanta and Liverpool face two of the most attractive teams at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. The winner of this meeting can hardly miss a place in the last sixteen in the European championship ball.
Atalanta:
Atalanta was released last week with a fright. The Italians faced a 0-2 deficit at halftime against Ajax, but managed to pull a 2-2 draw out of the fire thanks to a double volley from Duvan Zapata. They previously won 0-4 at Midtjylland, so with four points from two group duels they are on course to hibernate in the Champions League, just like last year.
The comeback against Ajax has naturally given Atalanta a lot of confidence. La Dea has now been unbeaten for four European home games in a row, and also won 1-2 at Crotone last weekend in Serie A. “We are also going to grab points against Liverpool,” Swiss midfielder Remo Freuler said. Trainer Gian Piero Gasperini, however, is struggling with personnel problems. Marten de Roon and Robin Gosens are in the rag basket, while Rafael Toloi and Hans Hateboer are also big question marks for Tuesday evening.
Liverpool:
Liverpool seems to be sparing its strength for the knockout phase of the Champions League, but the English are already on six points after a happy victory at Ajax (0-1) and a mandatory victory over Midtjylland (2-0). If The Reds manage to tie Atalanta to the victory cart as well, they will have group profit as good as within.
When visiting Atalanta, Liverpool is of course also a favorite, although the English will have to watch out in Bergamo. In addition, trainer Jürgen Klopp will have to puzzle, because the visitors have to contend with a laundry list of absentees. Especially in the back the flush is thin, because besides Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Fabinho and Konstantinos Tsimikas are also not fit. Klopp will therefore likely call on young Rhys Williams at the heart of the defense. Last year he defended the colors of the little Kidderminster Harriers in the National League North, the sixth tier of the English football pyramid. That he is active in the Champions League with Liverpool this season can rightly be called a real boyhood dream.
