Command Analysis
Atalanta
ItalyCurrent form
Atalanta performed quite well on all fronts last season – they coped with their main task in Serie A and finished in the Champions League zone, played in the final of the Italian Cup, and won the Europa League. At the start of the new season, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team had to face personnel losses – some key players left, there were many injured.
At the start of the Champions League, https://www.atalanta.it/>Atalanta was an obvious contender for a playoff spot – the “goddess” could hardly count on a place in the TOP-8, but it should not have been difficult for them to get into the playoffs. Having drawn a goalless draw with Arsenal in the first round, Atalanta left no chance for Donetsk Shakhtar in the next match – a 3:0 victory allowed them to rise to 11th place in the table.
In Serie A, Atalanta played a very weak start to the season, which is not surprising given the serious personnel losses and the large number of newcomers. However, in the last matches, the "goddess" stepped up and won two games in a row, confidently beating Genoa (5:1) and Venice (2:0). Thanks to these six points, they managed to rise to sixth place in the table and are only one point behind the Champions League zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Scalvini, Toloi, Cossunu, Scamacca, Kolasinac and Brescianini are injured.
Interesting trends for betting

Tentative line-up : Carnesecchi - De Ron, Hin, Djimsiti - Bellanova, Ederson, Pasalic, Zappacosta - Lukman, de Ketelare, Retegui.
Celtic
ScotlandCurrent form
Celtic certainly couldn't set themselves the task of getting into the top eight - in terms of player selection, the Celts can't even come close to competing with obvious candidates for a place in the TOP-8, and it will be difficult to even fight for a place among the best 24 teams. However, the first matches showed that Brendan Rodgers' team is not yet able to jump above their heads, but there is still a lot of time ahead.
In the first round, https://www.celticfc.net/>Celtic met Slovan from Bratislava and was considered the clear favorite of the match. In this confrontation, everything was decided in 56 minutes, during which the Celts managed to score three goals. The match ended with a 5:1 victory for the Scottish champions on their home field. However, in the next round, Celtic was routed by Borussia Dortmund with a score of 1:7 and ended up in 20th place in the table.
In the Scottish Championship, Celtic has started quite well overall and so far justifies its status as the main favourite in the fight for the championship title. With 22 points after eight rounds, the Celts are leading the table, but at the same time, they are only ahead of second-placed Aberdeen by additional indicators, with whom they drew 2:2 at home in the last round. Rangers are already six points behind.
Disqualifications and injuries
Taylor and Carter-Vickers are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Celtic have only won one of their last three matches
- Celtic have conceded in their last three matches
- Celtic have scored in all 12 games this season
Tentative line-up : Schmeichel - Johnston, Trusty, Scales, Valle - Engels, McGregor, Hatate - Kühn, Furuhashi, Maeda.

2.15Tip and bets
Atalanta is the undisputed favorite of the match - the "goddess" has seriously improved in the quality of football and results recently, and has a solid advantage in class over the opponent. Celtic makes many mistakes in defense and regularly fails in confrontations with more prestigious opponents, the match against Borussia clearly demonstrates this, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) for Atalanta . This bet is offered with odds of 1.69
Bet on total
Atalanta plays attacking football and has been scoring a lot of goals lately – the last three opponents of the “goddess” have conceded 10 goals. It is obvious that Celtic, who have scored eight goals in the previous two Champions League matches, will not remain dry in Bergamo, but at the same time the “Celts” play openly and also score regularly, the visitors are quite capable of finding their moment and realizing it.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.71
Bet on the difference in the score
Atalanta will certainly be looking to justify their status as favourites today and secure a confident win in an attempt to advance to the top eight. It is obvious that Celtic have little chance of getting points – the Celts have been making a lot of mistakes in defence lately, and they are significantly inferior to their opponents in class. Atalanta are unlikely to have problems with winning and the hosts are unlikely to be satisfied with a minimal advantage.
The bet is Atalanta to win by two goals. This bet is offered for 4.40
