Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Young Boys will try to put an end to their four-game losing run in the Champions League when they face Atalanta at their Stadion Wankdorf on Tuesday. The Swiss side have been struggling in the elite competition this term and they face yet another uphill task against the high-flying Italians. In their last meeting in the Champions League the two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw, but Atalanta are seen as hot favourites to win this clash. The likes of Conte, Chaiwa, Camara, Janko, Pfeiffer, and Zoukrou are injured for the home side.
The Orobici, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Stuttgart. As Atalanta have a nice chance to climb to top eight in the standings, we are tempted to put our money on Gian Piero Gasperini’s troops. Serbia international Lazar Samardzic is pushing for a start, while the likes of Godfrey, Kolasinac, Scamacca, and Zappacosta remain on the sidelines with injuries for the away team.
