Atalanta vs Club Brugge Preview and Team News
Atalanta Team News
There will be huge pressure on the reigning Europa League champions on Tuesday, as they look to reverse the result of the first leg against Club Brugge in Belgium. It was a below-par effort by the Serie A club last week, as they recorded an xG of just 1.26 from their 46.1% of the possession in the 2-1 defeat.
Ademola Lookman will be back in contention to start after missing out on the first leg, while Sead Kolašinac is also pushing for a start. However, Atalanta’s attacking options remain limited, as Gianluca Scamacca, Daniel Maldini, and El Bilal Touré are all ruled out for this second leg.
Atalanta predicted lineup vs Club Brugge (3-4-2-1): Patricio; Djimsiti, Hien, Posch; Bellanova, Ederson, de Roon, Zappacosta; Pašalić; De Ketelaere; Lookman.
Club Brugge Team News
Club Brugge completed the first half of a memorable run to the next round of the Champions League last week after recording a memorable 2-1 home success against Atalanta. They were great value for that win after recording an xG of 1.53 from their 53.9% share of the possession. Gustaf Nilsson scored a controversial penalty in the last seconds to secure a first-leg advantage.
A slightly more defensive approach is likely for the return leg this weekend. Therefore, a slight tweak in system could be likely on Tuesday, with a back five being a likely approach. That could see Hugo Siquet handed a start in the defensive line.
Club Brugge predicted lineup vs Atalanta (5-3-2): Mignolet; Seys, Siquet, Mechele, Ordóñez, De Cuyper; Onyedika, Jashari, Vanaken; Tzolis, Jutglà.

Atalanta vs Club Brugge Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams Not To Score
- Odds: 2.08 (22Bet)
Both teams not to score looks like an appealing betting angle this week. As well as having an excellent attacking record, Atalanta have conceded 22 goals from an xGA of 21.69 this season.
Meanwhile, they have conceded an average xGA of 1.01 in home matches this term and allowed an average of 1.33 goals per game.
Club Brugge have also failed to reach the same heights in front of goal on their travels, averaging 1.77 goals per game compared to a home average of 2.54 across all competitions.
Ademola Lookman could be the interesting scoring angle on his return. The forward has netted ten in 19 matches this season, accumulating an xG of 9.11 from an average of 3.47 shots per 90.
