Team News

Shakhtar
Atalanta
  • Danylo Sikan is a doubt for Shakhtar, and may be replaced by Lassina Traore up front against Atalanta.
  • Ben Godfrey, Rafael Toloi, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca all miss out in midweek.
  • Isak Hien and Marco Brescianini are both doubts for the visitors.

Prediction

  • Shakhtar are now unbeaten in four in all competitions following their 1-1 draw at Veres Rivne at the weekend. This game will be played at the Veltins-Arena in Germany.
  • Atalanta have made a dire start to the campaign, winning only one of their last six matches in all competitions. They drew their opening Champions League game 0-0 with Arsenal, which is a commendable result given the calibre of opposition.
  • While Shakhtar cannot call upon home advantage, they have the European experience to claim victory against this inconsistent Atalanta side on Wednesday.

  • Atalanta Win

  • Lookman TSA +170

  • Atalanta win

  • Atalanta by slaughter

  • @pibedebarrio Was thinking The same, I would be surprised if Shakhtar puts up much of a fight tbh, I think the gulf in class is pretty big here

  • Don't be so certain about that guys, Atalanta actuallyhas not played well this season and Shaktar had a 0-0 draw with another Italian side Bologna in their first CL game. Atalanta lost to bottom side Como and drew 1-1 with Bologna We are thinking of this as the Atalanta side of last season, but so far this season they have not looked very good. They may win, but it won't be as easy as we would think.

  • @Macfan Agree! I would let this one slip when it comes to picking a bet

  • @Macfan Nice analysis dude

  • @Macfan You have read my mind!

  • @Macfan Prob will stick with Goal Scorers for this match

  • @Macfan Bologna are pretty bad themselves since they lost half their Squad in the off season. Good points for sure though, Atalanta have been Inconsistent but should still be able to win here imo.

  • @KingKeno Atalanta sucks this season: they lost key players through transfers and injury (Scamacca) and Ademola Lookman himself started to believe that he is a great player, following his lucky 3 International goals in one game. Basically, there is no goal scorer on the Atalanta team!

  • @Zoltan Retegui can score goals bro
