Prediction: 2-1
Atalanta
Thursday’s football game at ArcelorMittal Park pits together Rakow and Atalanta, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Rakow desperately needed a win against Sturm Graz and they managed to get one, with the team keeping their Conference League hopes alive, but they need to grab something from the last group game as well. The good news for the hosts is that defender Bogdan Racovitan is back from suspension.
The Orobici, on the other hand, have already clinched top position in Group D. As Gian Piero Gasperini is likely to mix the squad against Rakow, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts, who are desperate to make it to the Conference League knockout stages. All Muriel, Miranchuk, and Holm are pushing for a start, while the likes of Scamacca, Toloi, Palomino, and Toure should miss out with injuries, speaking of the Serie A outfit.
