Champions League

Currently, Atalanta has not scored a victory in their three recent games at home. While Club Brugge might not have the greatest defensive record and have only kept one clean sheet during their last matches, they have scored seven goals in a row. On average, Atalanta scores 1.6 goals in home games, and Brugge scores 1.6 goals in their away matches. During the first leg, Brugge won 2 - 1.

Atalanta

Atalanta, after being knocked out in Coppa Italia, thrashed Verona 5-0 in the Serie A, courtesy of Retegui’s astounding 4 goals which made him the top scorer in the league.

Unfortunately for Gasperini’s men, they lost the first match against Brugge and could not win against Cagliari at home. Although they lost narrowly in Belgium, Atalanta is still the favorite to qualify for the Round of 16.

Brugge

On the other hand, Club Brugge, in their last group stage match of the Champions league, came close to causing an upset against Manchester City but eventually lost 1-3. The Belgian side finished at the unfortunate 24th position in the table, just above Dinamo Zagreb due to some tie-breaker criteria.

Holding on to a controversial decision, Brugge defeated Atalanta in the opening round due to a penalty, but later on failed to win against Sint-Truiden which put them 8 points behind the leaders Genk in the Belgian Pro League.

Prediction

To ensure chances of advancement, Atalanta will have to fight for the victory. I hope to see Club Brugge play tactically and fiercely in order to move on to the next round.
