Liverpool hosts Atalanta in round 4 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 25th at Anfield (Liverpool)
Now the Reds are forced to experiment with their squad. They simply do not have enough players, especially in the defensive line. The main pair of center backs (van Dijk and Gomez) will not help Liverpool for a long time. And this is far from the only problem for Jurgen Klopp. He needs to save the strength of regular players who remained in the ranks since no one has canceled the task of retaining the title in the English Premier League. The next match promises to be difficult there (a voyage to Brighton). Therefore, no one will be surprised if the German manager will field a bunch of reservists in the Wednesday match of the Champions League. Fortunately, Liverpool has already scored nine points, and a place in the playoffs will probably not go anywhere.

Under Gian Piero Gasperini, Atalanta has become a permanent member of the leading group in the Serie A standings. The Italians also showed decent results in the last Champions League. And if they could learn how to defend and kept their advantage in the match with PSG, they would have gone even further. But they managed to concede twice in the last minutes and left the tournament draw. Now the team of Miranchuk and Malinovsky is far from its best shape. And it was seen in the match with the modest Spezia, which ended in a goalless draw. Gasperini explained it by the fact that the players returned from their national teams just one day before the game. Nevertheless, his team won only twice in the last eight matches in all tournaments, including the Champions League, where they hammered Midtjylland away (0:4). After that, the results began to worsen. Losing with a 2-0 score after the first half, the Blue-Blacks managed to win back in the home match with Ajax (2:2), but Liverpool destroyed them in the next game in Bergamo (5-0).
Liverpool will have an experimental option of defense, but it can count on talented and scoring forwards. Atalanta became famous for its attacking style, and it may well show its best sides in the upcoming game. There is a reason to believe that we will see at least three goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
