Command Analysis
Club Brugge
BelgiumCurrent form
Brugge was approaching the start of the Champions League as a clear contender for a place in the playoffs - the status of champion of Belgium, as well as solid experience in the international arena allowed them to set themselves such tasks. The black and blue started poorly, losing two of the three opening matches, but in the second round they took their points in the match against Sturm (1-0), which eventually turned out to be invaluable.
In total, Brugge has three wins – after the success in Austria, Nicky Heyen's team scored six points in home matches against Sporting (2:1) and Aston Villa (1:0). In the last round, the Black and Blue faced a motivated Manchester City away and, quite expectedly, lost 1-3, but managed to beat Dinamo Zagreb due to additional indicators and finished on the 24th line in the table.
In the Belgian championship, Brugge was considered the main contender for the championship title before the start of the season, but so far this status does not justify it. With 51 points in the asset, the "black and blue" occupy the second place in the table and are six points behind the leader Genk. In the last round, Brugge beat Oude Hewerle 1-0 at home, thus gaining their 15th championship victory.

Talby is injured.

Atalanta
ItalyCurrent form
Atalanta was approaching the start of the Champions League as a clear contender for a place in the top eight – the selection of players and the status of the Europa League winner obliged them to fight for a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals. Gian Piero Gasperini's team started more than successfully and suffered its first defeat only in the sixth round, losing 2:3 to Real Madrid at home, firmly established at that time in the top eight.
Having beaten Sturm 5-0 in the seventh round, Atalanta had excellent chances for a place in the top eight, but they were unlucky with the calendar – in the last round they had to play away against Barcelona. "Goddess" played a very strong match and pulled out a 2-2 draw against the Catalans, who were in excellent shape, but it wasn't enough – all the competitors won their matches and finished ninth in Bergamasque.
In Serie A, Atalanta played the first round at a very high level and even spent some time at the top of the table, but gradually slowed down. A number of mistakes led to the loss of leadership, and then to a fall from the second line, at the moment "goddess" is third in the table with 50 points, but at the same time only five points behind the leader "Napoli". Having beaten Verona 5-0 in the last round, Atalanta scored its 15th victory in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kossunu, Lukman, Kolasinac and Karnesekki are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Atalanta has suffered only one defeat in eight Champions League matches.
- Atalanta scored in six of the eight Champions League matches.
- Atalanta have conceded in four of their last five matches.
Approximate line–up: Patricio – Gimshiti, Hin, Posh – Cuadrado, Ederson, De Ron, Zappacosta - De Ketelare, Samardzic – Retegi.

1.45Tip and bets
"Brugge" has slowed down a bit lately, but the "black and blue" were in a crazy schedule and it's simply unrealistic to show the maximum in this mode. This season, the Belgian champion is almost perfect on his own field, he plays attacking football, scores regularly and does not lose in 15 matches in a row. Atalanta is not perfect in defense, they have to do without a main goalkeeper, and the guests are unlikely to stay dry. At the same time, the "goddess" is unstoppable in the attack, Mateo Retegui shows an incredible level, the guests are quite capable of responding.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The forecast is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.79
Betting on the outcome
"Brugge" is showing very decent results in its field this season, not losing in 15 consecutive matches, including in the Champions League - in home matches against Sporting, Juventus and Aston Villa, the black and blue scored seven points. Atalanta has been far from perfect lately and has a number of personnel problems – in this state it will be very difficult to interrupt such an impressive successful streak of the opponent, but the class and experience should be enough for the goddess to defend a draw.
The bet is a draw. Such a bet is offered for 3.65
Betting on corners
Brugge will probably try to play number one at home and spend a lot of time attacking, but Atalanta is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
