Football Match Preview: Atalanta vs Arsenal - Analysis & Insights
Arsenal get their UEFA Champions League campaigns underway this week as they travel to Bergamo Italy to take on Atalanta.
Atalanta have started this season off their usual standards. Currently they have picked up 6 points in the opening 4 games but annoyingly for them have collected a 0 goal difference. They will need to turn their season around if they are to climb the table.
Arsenal on the other hand have picked up where they left off in the Premier League currently sitting 2nd place having not lost any of their opening 4 matches. 3 wins and 1 draw mean they have picked up 10 points however they will be impressed by the fact they have conceded just 1 goal so far this year.
This match is set to be the first time these two sides have faced each other in a competitive matchup.
However both teams have rich histories against opposition from the opposing countries.
How will this game end up?
Atalanta -
Mateo Retegui - 4 Goals Marco Brescianini - 2 Goals Charles De Ketelaere - 1 Goal Ademola Lookman - 1 Goal
Arsenal -
Kai Havertz - 2 Goals Gabriel - 1 Goal Thomas Partey - 1 Goal Bukayo Saka - 1 Goal Leandro Trossard - 1 Goal
Atalanta - Marco Carnesecchi, Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, Sead Kolasinac, Raoul Bellanova, Ederson, Marten De Roon, Matteo Ruggeri, Charles De Ketelaere, Ademola Lookman, Mateo Retegui
Arsenal - David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice, Thomas Partey, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martineeli, Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling
Alongside William Saliba in the Arsenal defence Gabriel can often go under the radar however he is so often key for Arsenal.
He has been a part of an Arsenal side that have conceded just once this season as well as popping up with goals when he is needed - including against Spurs this previous weekend.
Often a key player for them expect a good display from Gabriel here.
This is probably the biggest match on Thursday 19th September in the UEFA Champions League. And you can check out all of the action live on TNT Sports 1 with kick off at 20:00 pm.
