Atalanta vs Dinamo Zagreb Match Preview

After a losing streak in 3 games at the beginning, Atalanta managed to get their first points in the Champions League group stage, against Manchester City. Their opponent was the best team in the field, however, the Italian team managed to get a draw. Given that Manchester City will top this group, Atalanta can still make it through, since if they get two victories they will reach 7 points, which will probably lead to the second position and consequently to the knockout stage of the competition. Atalanta's striker Zapata will not be available tonight due to injury.

A comfortable victory at the premiere of the competition for today's rivals with a total score of 4-0 and the two draws with Shakhtar Donetsk place Dynamo Zagreb 3rd in this group with 5 points, as well as the team from Ukraine. They want to take at least a win in their two remaining games to continue in the European competitions after the winter. The central defender Moro is suspended, while Kulenovic, Leskovic will not be available due to injuries.

If Atalanta gets a positive result tonight, they will keep their hopes for qualification, even for the Europa League. On the other hand, Dinamo Zagreb needs a single point to secure the 3rd place, and if they get a win in Italy, they can finish even 2nd. Atalanta will play aggressive, since they need to score goals for the victory to stay alive in the competition, competing against a team which have already scored 9 goals so far. Over 2,5 goals to be scored is my call in this one.
