Atalanta vs Club Brugge

Atalanta are seeking their first win in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League as they welcome Club Brugge to Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday.

The visitors are aiming to build on a fine victory in their opening fixture, but are erratic on their travels. The Italians will be keen to make their home games count and should have the upper hand here.

Atalanta News

Atalanta endured a difficult start to their league phase campaign, falling to a 4-0 defeat at champions PSG. They struggled to cope with the quality of the Parisians and were second best throughout, finishing with just two attempts on target.

That has been the only defeat across all competitions this season for Atalanta, who played out a 1-1 draw at Juventus in an Italian Serie A fixture last Saturday. The Bergamo club claimed a 4-1 victory over Lecce in their previous home fixture, and manager Ivan Juric will be keen to replicate that performance.

Atalanta often look sharp in attack and have scored in five of their last six matches across all competitions. However, they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in five of those matches, while three of the last five fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Club Brugge News

Club Brugge were rampant in their opening League phase fixture, easing to a 4-1 home victory over Monaco. They had four different scorers, with Hans Vanaken and Nicolo Tresoldi among the goals.

That result is part of a solid run for Club Brugge, who are unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions and claimed a 2-1 victory at Standard Liege last weekend. However, there is room for improvement in their away form as they are winless in two of their last three matches on their travels.

Like the hosts, Club Brugge have no problems in attack and have scored in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in five of their last six matches, while three of their last four fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Both teams met twice in the knockout stage of last season’s Champions League, with Club Brugge doing the double. The Belgians claimed a 2-1 home victory before winning 3-1 in the second leg in Atalanta.

Verdict

Atalanta v Club Brugge

Atalanta and Club Brugge often adopt an open style, with both teams scoring in their last two meetings, which produced over 2.5 goals. Tuesday's clash is expected to serve up a similar outcome.

The Italians will be keen to get some revenge for last season’s defeats and have done some good work at home this term. They should get the better of Club Brugge, who are a bit erratic on their travels lately.
