Atalanta vs Celtic Betting Tips: Atalanta Win / Over 2.5 Goals
Another entertaining Champions League contest can be expected on Wednesday as Atalanta takes on Celtic in Bergamo.
Both teams have enjoyed strong starts to their season with hosts Atalanta entering this game in the midst of a three-game winning streak. La Dea cruised to a 2:0 win at Venezia this weekend after a 5:1 thrashing of Genoa before the international break. Celtic, for their part, finally saw their 100% record in Scotland´s Premiership come to an end with a 2:2 draw against title-rivals Aberdeen.
Atalanta have enjoyed a strong start to their UCL campaign, picking up a point against Arsenal before an impressive 3:0 win in Germany against Shakhtar Donetsk.
High-scoring outcomes can usually be relied upon when Atalanta are in action, particularly in Bergamo. Gian Piero Gasperini´s men have seen at least three goals scored in six of their last seven home fixtures.
Celtic make the trip to Italy looking to improve on a disastrous outing in their most recent UCL contest. The Hoops suffered the joint-heaviest defeat in their Champions League history with a 7:1 defeat against Dortmund dampening the positivity amongst the Celtic faithful.
On the road, the Glasgow side have a truly miserable record in this competition, especially at the group/league stage. Celtic lost eight of their last nine away matches at this stage since 2017.
Like the hosts, we can usually be confident of goals when Celtic are in action. At least three were netted in 11 of their last 12 away fixtures.
Given the gulf in class, and both teams recent numbers, a high-scoring home win should prove the best bet in Bergamo on Wednesday.
Atalanta team news
Atalanta boss Gasperini is still unable to call on several players this week. Rafael Toloi, Marco Brescianini and Odilon Kossounou remain absent alongside long-term absentees Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini.
