Manchester United hosts Atalanta in round 3 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 20th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Manchester United started its performances in the Champions League group stage with a sensational away defeat to Young Boys (2-1). In the second round, the Red Devils proved themselves in the right by beating Villarreal at home (2-1). It is noteworthy that Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in both matches. The Portuguese has already scored 136 goals in 178 Champions League matches. Interesting fact: the Mancunians have never tied against their opponents in the last 16 Champions League matches (seven victories and nine defeats). The last four games at Old Trafford ended in three victories and one loss. It is noteworthy that they all pleased the fans with Over 2.5 goals scored.

Atalanta is currently the leader of the group standings. After two rounds, the team has four points. In the first home match, the Blue-Blacks tied against Villarreal away (2-2), and the second game ended in a minimal home victory over FC Young Boys (1-0). It is noteworthy that last season the representatives of Bergamo also had four points after two rounds of the Champions League group stage. As a result, Gasperini's charges advanced to the playoffs from the 2nd line. In the previous four games in the main European club tournament, the Goddess gained only one victory (with one defeat and two draws). If we look at away statistics, the previous seven games ended in five victories and one draw, and only one defeat was recorded.
Of course, Manchester United has a good chance of earning three points. All the same, the roster of the Red Devils is stronger than that of Atalanta. Moreover, they will play at their native Old Trafford. And don't forget about Ronaldo in the lineup. The presence of the Portuguese on the pitch guarantees his team one or two goals scored. At the same time, Atalanta has very decent away statistics in the Champions League. Beyond that, Gasperini is a much better mentor than Solskjaer. I'm looking forward to a productive match and recommend betting on Over 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
