Atalanta
Arsenal
  • The hosts will be without injured trio Ben Godfrey, Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini, while Rafael Toloi remains a doubt.
  • Arsenal are set to remain without midfield duo Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard, though Declan Rice will return to the starting XI here after serving a suspension on Sunday.
  • Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus could be handed starts here.

Prediction

  • Last season's Europa League champions Atalanta embark on their Champions League campaign, heading into the competition after an indifferent start to the season in Serie A.
  • Gian Piero Gasperini's side have won two and lost two of their opening four matches.
  • Arsenal, meanwhile, will be hoping to go further than their quarter-final stage exit in this competition last term.
  • Mikel Arteta's side continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 1-0 victory over rivals Tottenham on Sunday.

  • Farteta got what he wanted, "great" 0-0

  • Arsenal at 60%

  • Ngl, didn't expect Arsenal to play for 1 point. It's good result in Bergamo, but you expect more of a team of this calibre..

  • ATALANTA Carnesecchi, Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac, Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri, De Ketelaere, Retegui, Lookman.

  • ARSENAL Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus.

  • There are 60-odd hours from the end of this match and the start of Sunday's huge game at Manchester City.

  • Arsenal should win this one.

  • @GoonerRSA their heart is more on EPL

  • Over 2.5 goals @ 1.88 Odds (Betfair).

  • Jag tror att det rätta sidan är 1x.

  • Both team to score for sure !!!!

  • Atalanta ML watch

  • Tough game for Arsenal with one eye on premier league. GG first half

  • Easy away win but not with a clean shit

  • @Itsislom What kind of it is a clean one?

  • yep. draw most likely. Farteta would like it too with boring play. 0-0 or 1-1 (more likely).

  • @koziol.mutant also Timber to get booked

  • Atalanta to score @1.45 seems decent. They kinda live for these types of matches regardless of league form, this will be much tougher for Arsenal than odds suggest IMO.

  • Over 2.5 goals Atalanta will be very attacking.

  • Atalanta have Won 6 of their last 7 home matches.

  • over 1.5 first half goals
