Atalanta vs Shakhtar Donetsk

Atalanta made a terrible start in the competition, losing on the first day of Group C in that of Zagreb. Gian Piero Gasperini’s line-up may have paid too much for the excitement and a historic debut in the Champions League. However, to justify the heavy 4-0 immediately two weeks ago at the Stadion Maksimir is too little. A challenge in which the orobici have understood little of us since the beginning, with a soft and distracted approach, it is enough to think that at the break Gomez and partners were already under 3-0.

On the other hand, even the Shakhtar Donetsk of Luis Castro arrives in that of Milan at zero quota and with a heavy passive of networks immediately. In fact, the home debut against Manchester City was to be forgotten and Karchiv’s 3-0 told of a one-way match and that the Citizens of Guardiola controlled at will for all 90 minutes. So the Ukrainians, who are now dominating their league as usual, will want to find redemption.

Atalanta vs Shakhtar Donetsk Picks

As for the prediction, Atalanta has the qualities to find the first historic points in the Champions League, even though it will have an experienced team in front of it and in any case used to playing these types of matches. However, we expect a match played openly and with lots of goals.
