Prediction: 2-2
Leipzig
A spot in the Champions League semis will be at stake when Atalanta and Leipzig face each other at Gewiss Stadium on Thursday evening. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Red Bull Arena a week ago, and yet another close encounter is on the cards in Bergamo. Atalanta aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Sassuolo, and, no doubt, Gianpiero Gasperini will opt to make changes to the starting XI.
De Roon is back from a domestic ban, while Luis Muriel is widely expected to start against Leipzig. The Red Bulls, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Hoffenheim. Leipzig and Atalanta seem to be evenly matched ahead of the second leg, and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Italy.
Highlighted Player (Duvan Zapata):
Duvan Zapata was born in Cali, Colombia on 1 April, 1991. The 186-cm-tall attacker started his youth career at America de Cali, playing for the club between 2004 and 2008. In 2008 he made his debut for the first team and three years later he scored his first hat-trick for the Colombian outfit, in a 3-2 win over Deportivo Pereira.
In 2011 he signed a loan deal with Estudiantes and he found the net for the Argentine team on his debut against Belgrano. After scoring 11 goals in 37 appearances for Estudiantes, the Colombian striker joined Napoli in 2013, but he failed to establish himself as a first-choice attacker.
On 22 July, 2015 Zapata joined fellow Serie A team Udinese on loan and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 24 league appearances for the Zebrette. Duvan Zapata has 5 caps for Colombia U20 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior side.
