Atalanta vs Midtjylland Prediction & Betting tips
In its own Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Atalanta will take on Midtjylland in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. The Italians are of course favorites against the still scoreless Danes, but have been struggling with their form in recent weeks.
Atalanta:
Atalanta did excellent business last week by stunting Liverpool with a 0-2 win. With a victory over Midtjylland, the Italians end up with ten points in group D of the Champions League, although the last group match against Ajax in Amsterdam will be decisive anyway.
Atalanta already won 0-4 at Midtjylland in October, and is therefore also the big favorite on Wednesday evening. Yet the men of trainer Gian Piero Gasperini have not been in as good shape in recent months as last season. The Bergamo club only managed to win one of its last five matches in all competitions, and let Hellas Verona eat the cheese of the bread last weekend with a 0-2 defeat. Gasperini complained afterwards about fatigue among his players, especially in the vanguard. The playing calendar is indeed killer, and with positive corona tests for Ruslan Malinovski and Aleksei Miranchuk, the options for rotation are limited. That now threatens to break up the Italian province club.
FC Midtjylland:
For the Danish Midtjylland, the remaining two group duels in the Champions League are purely dedicated to sporting honor. The Wolves are still on zero points after four defeats, and will therefore end up at the bottom of the league in this very tough group. That is no shame, but the Danes are of course very eager to get rid of that hateful zero. Of the four teams that will make their debut in the European championship ball this season, Midtjylland is the only club that did not score a single point.
Midtjylland always relies on her own strength, and will therefore not adapt to her opponent when visiting Atalanta. However, the visitors have to do without some important players. Defender Erik Sviatchenko has been suspended, while midfielders Evander and Jens-Lys Cajuste are in quarantine. Trainer Brian Priske will therefore have to do some puzzling, although his dangerous vanguard consisting of Anders Dreyer, Sory Kaba and Pione Sisto remains intact.
