Midtjylland vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting tips
After the success of last season, Atalanta will start a new adventure in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. The Italians board a plane to Denmark, where Champions League debutant Midtjylland is waiting in the MCH Arena.
FC Midtjylland:
Midtjylland is one of the four debutants this season in the main tournament of the Champions League. The Danish champion naturally hopes to be able to stunt just like upcoming opponent Atalanta, who managed to push through to the quarterfinals during her debut in the European champions ball last season.
In any case, it may be called a small miracle that Midtjylland managed to reach the group stage of the Champions League this season. Brian Priske’s team had to survive no less than three preliminary rounds, but Ludogorets, Young Boys and Slavia Prague were all in control. In the Danish Superliga, De Wolven are also doing well with ten points from five rounds of play. English chairman Matthew Benham made his fortune betting on football, so it is not surprising that the Danes mainly do their scouting policy on the basis of the Moneyball principle. The Midtjylland selection does have some rough diamonds in its ranks that we will hear a lot about in the future. Brazil’s number ten Evander, in particular, is someone to keep an eye on.
Atalanta:
Atalanta was of course the modern football fairy tale of the previous edition of the Champions League. The Italians managed to set the European ball of millions on fire with memorable victories over Shakhtar Donetsk. Hans Hateboer and associates were also close to a stunt against Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals, but two late goals against Mario Pasalic’s opening goal undone.
This season, Atalanta hopes to match or perhaps even surpass last season’s Champions League performance. Success coach Gian Piero Gasperini has managed to keep almost all of his key players, and even strengthened his team with Cristiano Piccini (Valencia) and Sam Lammers (PSV), among others. With three victories in a row, La Dea started the Serie A excellently, but last weekend the blue-blacks lost no less than 4-1 at Napoli. “This was a wake up call,” Gasperini said afterwards. ‘Everything went wrong today. We have to learn from this, I am curious how we will recover. ‘ In any case, the Atalanta players have their feet on the ground again.
