In the last round of the Champions League, Atalanta showed good football against Manchester United. However, the difference in the classes of performers affected. As a result, Gasperini's charges were defeated with a score of 3-2. If the Black and Blues expect to advance to the playoffs of the tournament, they need to earn three points in the upcoming match. After three rounds, Atalanta has four points and is in the third place in the standings. In the last five matches in the Champions League, the Goddess gained only victory and one draw and suffered three defeats. Even the last home results (in the Champions League leave much to be desired: one victory, two draws, and two losses.

Manchester United is in first place in the group standings, largely due to the effect of Cristiano Ronaldo. In the last two matches, it was the Portuguese who brought victories to the Red Devils with his goals. In general, he has already scored three goals in all three games in the Champions League. In the last 17 matches in this tournament, the Mancunians did not share points with their opponents. In the previous three away games, Solskjaer's charges suffered three defeats. I'm not sure that the team is now capable of breaking this streak. And the opponent will probably be against it. There is a possibility that in case of defeat, the club's management may decide to dismiss Solskjaer.
Bookmakers don’t single out a clear favorite in this pair. Perhaps, I will not undertake to bet on the winner either. Yes, the visitors seem to be of a higher class. However, the Italians have an advantage in the form of the home pitch. We all know how Serie A representatives play at home in the Champions League. And we also know that the British have problems in away games very often. The Red Devils will be satisfied with a draw because they will remain in the first place. But the hosts need to win. In this case, they will rise to the 1st line, and their further fate will be in their own hands. I think Atalanta will manage to score more than once.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to score over 1.5 goals
