Atalanta have lost 5 of their last 7 matches.
Arsenal have won 5 consecutive away fixtures.

Head to Head

This will be the first-ever meeting between Atalanta and Arsenal.

Atalanta Form

Atalanta had a strong 2023/24 season, lifting the Europa League title and finishing fourth in Serie A.

The positivity has dropped following a winless pre-season, including a 4-1 loss to Parma and a 3-0 defeat against St.Pauli. Atalanta have lost three of their five games this season against Real Madrid 2-0, Torino 2-1 and Inter Milan 4-0.

La Dea were on a two-match losing run before coming back twice to edge Fiorentina 3-2. Atalanta trailed 1-0, responded with 2.45 XG and Mateo Retegui, Charles De Ketelaere and Ademola Lookman struck.

Defenders Rafael Toloi and Ben Godfrey are doubtful.

Forward Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini are sidelined through injury.

Mateo Retegui is likely to start in attack having scored four Serie A goals already this season.

Arsenal Form

Arsenal have picked up where they left off in the 2023/24 campaign and are unbeaten in 10 competitive matches. The North Londoners have secured nine victories during this period and conceded just four goals.

Mikel Arteta’s outfit won their opening Premier League matches 2-0 against Wolves and at Aston Villa. Before the international break, they were held to a 1-1 draw against Brighton.

The Gunners showed their quality in an edgy 1-0 win at rivals Tottenham on Sunday. Arsenal soaked up the pressure and took one of their few chances through Gabriel Magalhães’ thumping second-half header.

Captain Martin Odegaard is injured and unavailable.

Defensive trio Kieran Tierney, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Oleksandr Zinchenko and midfielder Mikel Merino are out.

Midfielder Declan Rice is expected to return in midfield after missing the Spurs game due to suspension.

Verdict

Atalanta v Arsenal

Atalanta have defensive issues that Arsenal can exploit in the Champions League. The Gunners are a hard team to stop on current form and they can win again on the road.
