Liverpool vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting tips
A 5-0 away win in the Champions League is a real house number. Now the gap between the top clubs and the underdogs is sometimes enormous, but this 5-0 was not for Bayern anywhere in Israel or Cyprus, but for the Reds from Liverpool at Atalanta Bergamo, a top team in the Italian Serie A.
The Italians will be furious ahead of the second leg at Anfield as this first leg bust was one of the three worst defeats in their own European history. Reparation is on the program, only that it will certainly not be easy in Liverpool, because Jürgen Klopp’s team is once again one of the big favorites for the title this year.
The English champions have so far been harmless on the first three match days of the Champions League and are at the top of the table with nine points. With a win on Wednesday, the Reds are already safely qualified for the round of 16. Against this background, it is clear that the well-known bookmakers are predicting a home win in the match between Liverpool and Atalanta Bergamo.
In all likelihood, the Italians will fight for second place in this pool with Ajax Amsterdam. Midtjylland should have to settle for fourth place on his debut in the premier class. Back to the Reds. Liverpool will not want to miss the chance to spare players in the next two games after a win, so we tend to tip the English between Liverpool and Atalanta Bergamo.
Liverpool:
The LFC has been extremely shaken in the last few weeks. Numerous positive tests have also weakened the team, because regular injuries are currently a big problem. No wonder that Jürgen Klopp is currently railing against the television companies because the schedule is too tight. Rotation is currently hardly possible even for the Reds.
Nevertheless, it is relatively smooth in terms of sport. Liverpool have been undefeated for eight games and have won a lot. In the Premier League table, the defending champion is only in second place because of the worse goal difference behind Tottenham. That sounds like the odds of a home win in the match between Liverpool and Atalanta Bergamo are still the first choice.
Last weekend the Reds flexed their muscles again. Strongly weakened, Jürgen Klopp’s team took on Leicester in the top game. In the end, there was a clear 3-0 victory on the scoreboard. An own goal as well as goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino made for a success that was never in danger.
To make matters worse, Naby Keita was injured in this match and will probably be absent on Wednesday. But he is in well-known company, because Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mo Salah, who tested positive, will not be part of the party. There is also a question mark behind the suitability of Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara.
Atalanta Bergamo:
Despite a 0: 5 at home against Liverpool, the odds comparison of the betting base shows unexpectedly high odds on a home win for the Reds. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is looking for their form. In Serie A they are currently still in seventh place, but things have not been going well at Atalanta in the last few weeks.
In the last six games Bergamo could only record one victory. The hope now rests on the away strength in the premier class, because the Italians have won the last three guest games in the Champions League. Perhaps that is the reason why the quotes at the tested betting providers are as they are. Before the kick-off between Liverpool and Atalanta Bergamo, that does not change the forecast.
Last weekend, Atalanta was again unable to convince. The goal machinery of the Italians has clearly stalled in the last few weeks. There were phases when Gian Piero Gasperini’s team scored four to five goals week after week. On Saturday it was enough for Spezia Calcio only to a goalless draw.
In terms of personnel, the Italians are looking much better than their upcoming opponents. Of course there are also failures, but with Mattia Caldara, Fabio Depaoli and Marco Tumminello there are only three players on the injured list of the premier class. However, Ruslan Malinovskiy is still out because of a positive test. Hans Hateboer should be available again for this.
