Atalanta hosts Valencia in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 19th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)
Atalanta miraculously made it to the Champions League playoffs, risking to fly past the European Cup spring at all. Let me remind you that the Goddess earned only one point in four rounds. But then the Italian team managed to beat Dinamo Zagreb (2-0) on its pitch and defeated Shakhtar Donetsk (3-0) in a decisive match in Kharkiv. The only problem is that the men of Gian Piero Gasperini have to play at San Siro and not in their native Athleti Azzurri d'Italia because it does not meet the requirements.

Valencia also reached the 1/8 finals with help of luck. Truth be told, the situation of the Bats was much easier since they could move to the Europa League in case of not beating Ajax in the last round (1-0). Thanks to that victory, the Bats not only won their quartet but also left the Dutch club behind the Champions League. By the way, being in the “death group”, the Spaniards never lost on the road, having beaten Chelsea and Ajax and shared points with Lille. It will be interesting to watch the team of Albert Celades, which is in a small game crisis.
Although it is a very important match, I doubt that Atalanta will play carefully, as it simply does not know how to do it, especially if the opponent is at that level. The same can be said about Valencia because it is advisable for them to score a goal on the road. And both teams can’t boast of good defense, conceding an average of 1.3 and 1.4 goals per game in the national championship. In any case, whoever scores first, one of the teams will open, which will allow the other to give preference to counterattacks. But I can hardly believe that the teams will score a few goals, so I advise you to bet on the proposed outcome.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
