Atalanta vs Arsenal: UEFA Champions League Phase Prediction Match Details
Defending Europa League champions Atalanta will begin their journey in the new phase of the Champions League as they host Arsenal at the Gewiss Stadium. Can the Gasperini’s men build on their impressive run in the Europa League last season?
Atalanta Preview & Form
Defending Europa League champions Atalanta have been in a mixed run of form, having suffered two consecutive defeats and won twice in the league. However, La Dea, in their last league match, came from behind twice to defeat Fiorentina 3-2 on their home soil, which will boost their confidence entering into their first Champions League match. So far, Atalanta have produced at least three goals in each of their last four matches.
Atalanta will look to kick-start their European campaign with a positive start as they are returning to the Champions League for the first time since the 2021/22 season. Gasperini’s men had already suffered defeat in the Super Cup earlier in the season, as they were easily beaten by Real Madrid, with the match ending 2-0.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal will begin their second consecutive UEFA Champions League campaign with a four-match unbeaten record. The Gunners have secured three wins and a draw since the start of the new season in the Premier League, with their last match ending in a 1-0 win in the North London Derby. The victory, which will boost their confidence entering the Champions League, will ensure their 10-match unbeaten record in a row continues.
Mikel Arteta will hope his side can improve their performance in Europe this season, having reached the quarterfinal in the last edition. Although last season, they have only won one of their last six away games, recording one draw while losing four.
