Atalanta vs Celtic prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - Oсtober 23, 2024
In the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, a match between Atalanta and Scottish club Celtic will take place. The game is scheduled for Wednesday, October 23, in Bergamo, with a kickoff time of 18:45 Central European Time. Experts from Dailysports have provided a prediction for this match.
Atalanta
Atalanta has had a good start in Europe's most prestigious club tournament. First, Gasperini's team drew with Arsenal, and then they confidently defeated Shakhtar Donetsk.
However, in Serie A, the Bergamo side has struggled, with several slip-ups and an unusually high number of goals conceded. After eight rounds, Atalanta sits in sixth place, six points behind league leaders Napoli.
Celtic
Celtic showed their quality in the first round by comfortably beating Slovak side Slovan at home. However, their previous match ended in a catastrophic failure, as the Scots were destroyed 1-7 in Dortmund.
On the domestic front, Celtic continues to dominate, although Aberdeen has been trying to challenge them, with the two teams playing out a draw last weekend.
Match Facts
- Atalanta has won three matches in a row.
- Celtic has scored in every game this season.
- Atalanta averages 2.5 goals per game at home, while Celtic averages 2.8 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Atalanta: Carnesecchi, Djimsiti, Kolasinac, Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta, Lookman, De Ketelaere, Retegui.
- Celtic: Schmeichel, Johnston, Trusty, Scales, Hatate, Engels, McGregor, Bernardo, Kyun, Maeda, Furuhashi.
Head-to-Head

Prediction
The home team is stronger than their opponent, and Celtic has significant defensive problems when facing stronger teams. My prediction is a victory for Atalanta with a -1 goal handicap.
