Atalanta look to qualify for the next round of the UEFA Champions League as they face a Club Brugge side who have the edge after the first leg.
Atalanta come into this game having drawn to Cagliari in their last outing. Gasperini’s side currently sit 3rd in the Serie A table with 51 points - having won 15 of their 25 matches this campaign.
Club Brugge also failed to pick up a victory in their latest contest. Brugge would have to rely on a 91st minute equaliser from Tzolis having been 2-0 down to STVV before Vanaken pulled one back. Club Brugge currently sit 2nd in the Belgian Pro League table with 52 points - winning 15 of their 26 matches.
Mateo Retegui will be one to watch for this fixture. The Atalanta striker is the top goalscorer in Serie A with 20 goals in 23 appearances.
Atalanta’s talisman has also scored three goals in nine Champions League matches this season.
Atalanta Predicted Line-up: Patricio, Posch, Hien, Djimsiti, Bellanova, Ederson, De Roon, Ruggeri, De Ketelaere, Pasalic, Retegui
Atalanta missed out on an automatic qualification place in the Champions League by a single point, finishing the group stage campaign in 9th position with 15 points.
Atalanta will be without Giorgio Scalvini, Odilon Kossounou, Gianluca Scamacca, Ademola Lookman, Sead Kolasinac and Daniel Maldini for the fixture through injury.
Club Brugge Predicted Line-up: Mignolet, Seys, Mechele, Ordonez, De Cuyper, Jashari, Onyedika, Talbi, Vanaken, Tzolis, Jutgla
Club Brugge qualified for the play-off stages of the Champions League, thanks to their superior goal differential over Dinamo Zagreb. The Belgium club finished in 24th position with 11 points but had a goal difference of -4 compared to Zagreb’s -7.
Bjorn Meijer is expected to be the only player missing for Club Brugge due to injury.
This will be just the second meeting between the two sides. Club Brugge’s 2-1 victory on the 12th February 2025 is the only competitive fixture involving both clubs.
Our team of professional experts have decided that the best tip for this fixture is Atalanta to win. Odds on Betfred of 8/15 mean a bet of £10 has a potential return of £15.33.
