predicted lineups and where to watch in Italy, the UK, and the US

The Champions League goes on. For Atalanta, the priority is to mathematically secure qualification for the playoffs, while still aiming to break into the top 8. The sting of Retegui’s missed chance against Real Madrid has had time to settle, but there’s also a strong desire for redemption following the recent league defeat to Napoli. The path ahead is clear, and it begins with the match against Sturm Graz. Here’s all the information about the game.

Probable line ups

ATALANTA (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi; Kolasinac, Hien, Scalvini; Ruggeri, Ederson, De Roon, Zappacosta; De Keteleare; Lookman, Retegui. Coach Gasperini

STURM GRAZ (4-3-1-2): Khudiakov; Lavalée, Wuthrich, Geyrhofer, Johnston; Yalcouye, Stankovic, Chukwuani; Kiteishvili; Boving, Biereth. Coach Säumel.

To qualify Currently, Atalanta has 11 points in the standings, 4 more than PSG and Stuttgart, who today would be the first excluded from the next phase. It could reach the playoffs even losing the last two. However, these are not the calculations Gasperini’s team should make, given that Sturm Graz has lost five out of six matches in the Champions League this season. On the last day, the Dea will visit Barcelona, which will most likely already be qualified among the top eight.

To join them, the Nerazzurri must obtain at least two points today from a group that includes Arsenal, Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Inter, Brest, and Lille. The odds Atalanta could break a five-match (in all competitions) winless streak. The Nerazzurri are considered favorites according to the main betting sites: the win is priced at 1.20 for Newtin, Sisal, and Betway. Much higher is the draw (7.25 for Snai and 7.50 for Sisal and Netbet), which still pays half of the loss (13.00 for bet365, 14.00 for Goldbet, and 17.00 for WilliamHill). As for goals, the over 2.5 is worth 1.40 for Netwin, Sisal, and Leovegas.

This consideration stems from the two goals scored by Atalanta in four of the six Champions League games and the goal conceded by Sturm in five of the six matches. Among the scorers, note the odds for Retegui (1.78 for Betway, 1.80 for bet365, and 1.90 for Netwin), two goals against Young Boys, and Lookman (1.75 for WilliamHill, 1.95 for bet365, and 2.25 for Netbet), with three goals to his credit.
