Prediction: 3-1
Celtic
Atalanta will look to extend their winning run to four games in all competitions when they take on Celtic in the Champions League round 3. The Orobici faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Venezia and they are seen as hot favourites to win Wednesday’s clash as well. As Atalanta have found their form of late, home win should definitely be considered. The Europa League winners will be without Brescianni, Kossounou, Scalvini, Scamacca, and Toloi in this Champions League game.
The Hoops, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Aberdeen at the weekend. Considering that Celtic experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 7-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund in their last Champions League game, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. It has to be noted that the two sides meet for the first time in the elite competition. Defenders Greg Taylor and Cameron Carter-Vickers should be the only absentees in the away team.

Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
