Stats
- Atalanta have won 3 of their last 5 matches (Champions League).
- Atalanta have seen over 3.5 goals in their last 2 matches (Champions League).
- Sturm Graz have lost 7 of their last 8 matches (Champions League).
H2H
This is going to be the third head to head meeting between these two sides.
The first h2h was in October 2023, the game ending in a 2-2 draw, while Atalanta won 1-0 two weeks later.
Form
Atalanta’s form has declined across competitions in the last couple of weeks, currently on a five-game winless run.
After wrapping up the previous year with a 1-1 draw against Lazio, La Dea were beaten in their January premiere by Inter Milan 2-0 in the Italian Super Cup.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side then drawn two Serie A games in a row, 0-0 against Udinese and 1-1 against Juventus.
Last weekend, they suffered a 3-2 home loss to Napoli and will have rough time returning into the title race. Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman were the scorers.
Sturm Graz’s chances of reaching the UCL playoffs are minimal, currently sitting in 29th place with just three points from six matches (one win and five defeats).
They had a solid appearance in mid-December in France, scoring twice against Lille but eventually losing the match 3-2.
The Blackies are leading the title race in Bundesliga, sitting at top of the table with 36 points after 16 rounds, three points above Austria Wien.
Team News
Juan Cuadrado (hamstring injury), Gianluca Scamacca (ACL knee injury) and Odilon Kossounou (groin injury) are sidelined for Atalanta.
Defender Alexander Borkovic is the only name on Sturm’s injury list.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Atalanta: Carnesecchi, Hien, Djimsiti, Kolasinac, Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta, De Ketelaere, Retegui, Lookman
Sturm Graz: Scherpen, Geyrhofer, Aiwu, Wuthrich, Lavalee, Chukwuani, Yalcouye, Stankovic, Boving, Kiteishvili, Jatta
Verdict
Atalanta’s last two games in the Champions League had a total of 12 goals. Sturm Graz have to be aggressive and aim for victory to stay in the playoffs race, which should lead this clash into a high-scoring affair. Home win & over 3.5 goals is the best bet.
