Atalanta v Celtic Preview

Atalanta’s Form

Atalanta are the exception and not the rule when it comes to the time span of their manager with Gian Piero Gasperini first being appointed in 2016 making him one of the longest-serving managers in professional football. That faith paid dividends last season when they won the Europa League, finished 4th in Serie A and were Coppa Italia runners-up. So far this season in the Serie A they currently occupy 6th following 13 points from their opening 8 games.

Atalanta opened their Champions League campaign with a respectable 0-0 draw at home against Arsenal. In their second round of fixtures, they maintained their unbeaten start to the competition with a 0-3 win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Their next few games present their best points chances as they will want to have points on the table before they play Real Madrid and Barcelona in 2/3 league phase games.

Atalanta are an interesting tactical side and well set up for a run to the knockout stages of this competition.

Celtic’s Form

Celtic came into the 24/25 season following another “double” winning the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup last season. In the Champions League, they were knocked out of the Group Stage which has become all too commonplace for the club in recent seasons. They currently lead the SPL following 22 points but only by a goal difference of +12 following Aberdeen’s strong start also.

Celtic opened their Champions League journey taking full advantage of the new format beating Slovan Bratislava 5-1. However, they got their seasonally dose of Champions League reality in the following matchday being even more comprehensively beaten coming in a 7-1 defeat against Dortmund. This is one of their “tougher” remaining games though so a positive result would put them in a strong qualifying position long-term.

It will take a huge performance for Celtic to get something here, but they’re better than that Dortmund scoreline would suggest.

Atalanta v Celtic Head-To-Head Results & Stats

This will be the first meeting between both sides.

Key Players To Watch

Ademola Lookman – Atalanta

The former Everton winger had a starring season with Atalanta in 23/24 scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists in 45 matches. The highlight of those goal contributions came with his hat trick in the Europa League Final. Lookman is a live wire in attack who can both finish, provide and work in the build-up phase.

This season he has 3 Goals and 3 Assists across 8 games in all competitions and for this game, he is priced at 9/2 for first goal scorer and 11/10 to score at any time.

Callum McGregor – Celtic

The Celtic Captain, Leader, Legend (31) is currently embarking on his 11th successive season at his boyhood club, and he shows no signs of stopping or his importance diminishing. An all-action midfielder who is an accurate passer, a strong dribbler, and an attacking threat.

McGregor has 4 goals and 1 assist across 11 matches in all competitions this season but finds himself a big price in the betting to score in this game with him 25/1 to score first and 9/1 to score anytime.

Atalanta v Celtic Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Atalanta 2-0 Celtic

Atalanta shocked many with their performances to win the Europa League last season, but they’re a side which is set up to consistently perform well in Europe arguably more so than their Serie A credentials.

Celtic started the season rampantly, but the wheels have fallen off a little bit in their last three games across all competitions. They’re capable of a result here though I’m not sure they do so.

Atlanta should be far too tactically disciplined and talented for Celtic on Wednesday.

Best Bet: Atalanta Win + Under 3.5 Goals @ 7/4
