- Competition: Champions League
- Date: 02.10.2024
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CEST
- Venue: Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen)
Shakhtar Donetsk played heroically in the 1st round of the Champions League against one of the strongest teams in Italy, Bologna, and 0-0 is the reward for such a performance. In that match, they even missed a penalty at the very beginning of the match, and the opponent in the next round is again the Italian team, perhaps even more dangerous, Atalanta from Bergamo. In the meantime, Shakhtar played only 1-1 against Veres in the championship of Ukraine, but the motivation will be much more now.
Atalanta played in the previous round of Serie A against Bologna. Identical to the rival from Ukraine who played against this team, the result was a draw. Atalanta have only won twice during Serie A this season but there is no doubt that they are a very quality team capable of going far in the knockout stages of this competition. Proof of that is the draw against Arsenal in the 1st round of the Champions League. The club from London is one of the biggest favorites to go all the way
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Atalanta pick: ATALANTA TO WIN
Despite playing on a neutral ground, this time in Geselkirchen, Shakhtar is a tough nut to crack for any rival. They have several Brazilians who have raised the level of quality and Atalanta are in bad shape. Although all this is taken into account, again Atalanta have many more cards in the deck that they can draw. With some players, it's just waiting for the right moment to get out of bad form and start an upward trend. It won't be easy but Atalanta should win here with at least 1 goal difference
