Atalanta – Arsenal Preview

Atalanta hosts Arsenal at the Gewiss Stadium in a match from the first week of the league stage of the Champions League. This promises to be a pretty good match to see. Let’s preview it in our best soccer predictions today. Are you ready?

Winners of Europa League, Atalanta approach this season as a team that won an European trophy in the previous campaign. Through the years Gian Piero Gasperini built a pure football machine – it’s always a pleasure to watch La Dea play. Now they dream of their big Champions League breakthrough as well.

The Italian international Mateo Retegui is on fire since joining the club in the summer. The former Genoa striker has scored four goals in four matches played in the Serie A this season. It seems that Retegui is now one of the new leaders in Atalanta’s team. But keep an eye on Ademola Lookman as well – the Nigerian star proved his worth during the Europa League final last season.

Arsenal’s goal in the Champions League could be only one – reaching the final. The Gunners still haven’t won the competition in their history, but Mikel Arteta could be the right man to lead them to it. Arsenal are playing better and better under the guidance of the Spanish manager.

Arsenal will travel to Italy in a fine mood after beating Tottenham Hotspur in the big derby of Northern London. Gabriel Magalhaes’ goal in the second half was enough for Arsenal to take the win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Meanwhile the new signing Raheem Sterling made his official debut for the Gunners.

Arsenal’s problems are related to the injury of the team captain Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian midfielder didn’t play against Tottenham. He was replaced by Jorginho in the line-up.

That’s the best soccer predictions today for the Champions League fixture between Atalanta and Arsenal in Bergamo on Thursday. Good luck!
