Match Stats

Atalanta enters the Champions League as the reigning UEFA Europa League champions. Throughout the tournament, they stunned Liverpool and went on to defeat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the final. Even without their Europa League triumph, Atalanta secured their Champions League spot by finishing fourth in Serie A, despite a rough first half of the season.

In the early stages of the new season, Gian Piero Gasperini's men have collected just 6 points from 4 matches. They convincingly beat Lecce 4-0 and edged Fiorentina 3-2, but suffered defeats against Torino (1-2) and Inter (0-4), a less-than-ideal start for the Nerazzurri.Arsenal narrowly missed out on the Premier League title last season, finishing just two points behind Manchester City, despite leading for most of the campaign. Late-season slip-ups proved costly. In the Champions League, the Gunners reached the quarterfinals, where they were eliminated by Bayern Munich – a 0-1 away loss followed by a 2-2 draw at home.

In their first four Premier League matches this season, Mikel Arteta’s side has once again shown title ambitions, with victories over Wolves (2-0), Aston Villa (2-0), and a hard-fought 1-0 win against Tottenham last weekend. Their only stumble was a 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Prediction:  Atalanta WIN
