Prediction: 1-1
Arsenal
Atalanta and Arsenal take on each other at Gewiss Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. The Orobici aim to build on a hard-fought 3-2 win over Fiorentina and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach in their Champions League opener. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be former Premier League ace Ademola Lookman, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while both Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini are sidelined with injuries.
The Gunners, on the other hand, did well to beat Tottenham in the North London derby, with defender Gabriel scoring the only goal of the match. As Mikel Arteta can count on key attackers for Thursday’s showdown, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Declan Rice is back from the Premier League ban, while the likes of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Odeegard, Mikel Merino, and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain in the recovery room. Summer signing Ricardo Calafiori is a major doubt.
