Union Saint-Gilloise vs. Atalanta Predictions

Atalanta must win to give themselves a chance of automatic Champions League qualification, and they should fancy their chances in Belgium. An away win is my only choice on Wednesday.

Atalanta in Fine Form

Union Saint-Gilloise lost their last 3 home matches (Champions League)
Atalanta won 7 of their last 10 matches

USG Meet Atalanta for the First Time

Union Saint Gilloise and Atalanta will meet for the first time on Wednesday.

USG Stumble in Pro League

Union Saint-Gilloise face their final Champions League fixture after a disappointing goalless draw against OH Leuven in the Belgian Pro League last weekend.

David Hubert's side has been in solid form domestically, suffering just two defeats in 23 Pro League games this season. USG sit at the top of the Belgian top flight, one point clear of nearest rivals Sint Truidense.

An underwhelming Champions League campaign has seen the Belgians pick up just six points from seven games completed. Still in with a slim chance to secure a playoff spot, USG lost four of their last continental fixtures, while they have yet to pick up a point in three UCL games at Lotto Park this season.

Atalanta Blast Past Parma

Atalanta make the trip to Belgium with plenty of confidence after a dominant 4-0 win against Parma in Serie A last weekend. Two goals scored in both halves ensured an easy day at the office for Raffaele Palladino's side.

La Dea have been in largely excellent form in recent weeks, securing ten wins while losing just three of their last 14 games across all competitions. Domestically, Atalanta remain seventh in Serie A, five points behind sixth-placed Como.

More impressive in the Champions League, Atalanta claimed three successive victories before suffering a shock 3-2 defeat to Athletic Bilbao last week. Despite that setback, La Dea remain in contention for a top-eight finish, sitting 13th in the standings. Incredibly, the Italians sit level on 13 points with eight teams between sixth and 13th.

Predicted Lineups and Team News

Union Saint-Gilloise (4-3-3) Kjell Scherpen; Anan Khalaili, Kevin Mac Allister, Christian Burgess, Ross Sykes; Adem Zorgane, Kamiel Van De Perre, Anouar Ait El Hadj; Guilherme Smith, Sekou Keita, Raul Florucz.

USG head coach Hubert has a lengthy list of absentees this week. Mateo Biondic, Guillaume Francois, Marc Giger, Ivan Pavlic, Massire Sylla and Besfort Zeneli are unavailable, Promise David is suspended, while Kevin Rodriguez is rated doubtful.

Atalanta (3-4-2-1) Marco Carnesecchi; Odilon Kossounou, Berat Djimsiti, Sead Kolasinac; Davide Zappacosta, Marten De Roon, Ederson Jose, Lorenzo Bernasconi; Charles De Ketelaere, Nicola Zalewski; Gianluca Scamacca.

Atalanta boss Palladino has no new injury concerns this week. Raoul Bellanova is the only confirmed absentee for the Italian side.

Verdict

Union Saint Gilloise v Atalanta

Atalanta have the quality and the motivation to claim a vital away win in Wednesday's crucial UEFA Champions League contest. I'm backing the visitors to pick up the spoils at Lotto Park.
