Atalanta, having faced challenges in both the Serie A and the UEFA Champions League, is now focusing on the Coppa Italia semifinal. The team's recent performances in prominent leagues have pushed them to shift their strategy and priorities. On the other hand, Bayern Munich’s impressive scoring ability makes them a strong contender for a home win in a handicap match. The recommendation for bettors would be to consider Bayern's current form when making predictions. As Atalanta redirects its efforts towards the upcoming Italian cup match, their ability to turn recent setbacks into a successful campaign remains to be seen.

Bayern Munich won the first tie 6-1 (Getty)

Bayern Munich looked merciless last week in Bergamo where they could have scored more than six goals. Atalanta are in poor form across competitions, so another one-sided clash is expected. 

Key Stats  


  • Bayern Munich have won 6 of their last 7 home matches. 
  • Bayern Munich beat Atalanta 6-1 earlier this week. 
  • Atalanta have lost 2 of their last 4 away matches. 

Second Head to Head Clash 


Last week’s clash in Bergamo was the first head to head encounter between these sides. 

Bavarians Looked Intimidating in Italy 


Bayern Munich humiliated Atalanta in last week’s first leg, winning 6-1 in Bergamo while missing at least three more colossal chances to make the victory even more convincing. Michael Olise was named man of the match, scoring twice while also registering an assist. 

Their winning streak in Bundesliga snapped last weekend though at Bayer Leverkusen 1-1. After conceding early, Nicolas Jackson was sent off just before the break but the Bavarians still found an equalizer through Luis Diaz. 

Vincent Kompany’s side still has a huge 11-point lead over Borussia Dortmund in the title race with just eight rounds left to be played. 

La Dea Struggling in March 


Atalanta have hit a rough patch recently, failing to secure a single victory in their last five appearances across competitions. 

La Dea started March with a 2-1 loss to Sassuolo in Serie A, followed by two high-scoring 2-2 draws against Lazio (Coppa Italia) and Udinese. 

After last week’s 6-1 loss to Bayern Munich, they stepped up a bit and won a point against the Serie A table leaders Inter Milan 1-1 at Guiseppe Meazza, Nikola Krstovic scoring a late equalizer. 

Predicted Lineups & Team News 


Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1) Leonard Prescott; Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Konrad Laimer; Leon Goretzka, Aleksandar Pavlovic; Lennart Karl, Serge Gnabry, Luis Diaz; Nicolas Jackson 

Bayern’s goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig are injured. Hiroki Ito and Alphonso Davies are also recovering from injuries, while Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich are suspended. 

Atalanta (3-4-2-1) Marco Carnesecchi; Giorgio Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti, Sead Kolasinac; Davide Zappacosta, Marten de Roon, Mario Pasalic, Lorenzo Bernasconi; Charles De Ketelaere, Nicola Zalewski; Nikola Krstovic 

Giacomo Raspadori is the only injured player for La Dea, while Yunus Musah is suspended. 

Verdict

Atalanta’s focus shifts to the upcoming Coppa Italia semifinal after unsuccessful Serie A and UCL runs. Bayern Munich’s scoring potential is absurdly high, so a home win in handicap is the best bet.
