Atalanta – Arsenal Predictions and Preview

  • On Sunday, Atalanta continued their impressive start to the Serie A season as they defeated Fiorentina 3-2, all goals coming in the first half. With four league matches this term, including two wins and two losses, they have been scoring an average of four goals per game, suggesting they could be an exciting team to watch in the UEFA Champions League this season.
  • After losing the UEFA Super Cup 2-0 to Real Madrid last month, La Dea will be eager to kickstart their European campaign as they return to the Champions League for the first time since 2021-22. This is their fourth time participating in the group or league phase of the UCL, and on each occasion they’ve faced English opponents (W1, D2, L3). Last season, they produced a memorable 3-1 aggregate win over Liverpool en route to UEL glory.
  • Arsenal will be well aware of the damage Atalanta can do, although they will travel high on confidence after beating Tottenham 1-0 in the North London derby on Sunday, despite missing key players due to injury and suspension. Declan Rice was one of those players, but he will be available for this one, which will make manager Mikel Arteta happier ahead of a big week in which they also take on Premier League champions Manchester City.
  • The Gunners have only won one of their last six UCL away games (D1, L4), but they’ve fared better in Italy of late, having won their last two European fixtures in the country ‘to nil’ against Napoli and AC Milan respectively. However, those matches were in the UEL knockout stages before Arteta took over.
  • Players to watch: Mateo Retegui has scored three times between the 20th minute and half-time for Atalanta this term, making him a dangerous threat early on. If there is to be a flurry of early goals, then Kai Havertz might be one to watch for Arsenal as both of his strikes this season came between the 20th and 40th minute.
  • Hot streak: Atalanta won the corner count in each of their last three fixtures; Arsenal lost it in each of their last three.
