Competition: Champions League
Market: Atalanta win
Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport
With it all coming down to their final Group F meeting, Atalanta will welcome a struggling Villarreal to the Gewiss Stadium on Wednesday night.
Starting with the hosts, picking up some perfect momentum over the weekend with an action-packed 3-2 win against Napoli on the road, Atalanta should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Continuing to impress on either side of November’s international break, Head Coach Gian Piero Gasperini will be smelling the chance to enjoy a famous night at the Gewiss Stadium here. Knowing that a victory on Wednesday night would book their spot in the knockout stage of this year’s Champions League, La Dea are enjoying an extended 10-match unbeaten run across all formats, a run that stems all the way back to October 20th. Really finding their feet in the final third, Atalanta have won each of their last three Serie A contests on the spin, including a 1-0 victory away at Juventus last month.
As for the visitors, while the mood in Atalanta’s camp will be at a red-hot high, the same cannot be said for a struggling Villarreal side. Although the Spanish outfit might open their trip to the Gewiss Stadium holding a one-point buffer over Wednesday’s hosts, they are in the midst of a real struggle. Last seen over the weekend getting hit with a deserved 1-0 loss against Sevilla, Unai Emery’s men have now lost three of their last four matchups across all formats. With their only victory from their last five attempts coming against lower league Victoria CF on Copa del Rey duties last month, the former Arsenal boss will know that his side face a stern test here. With just a pair of away victories to their name since opening the 2021/22 campaign, we’re backing a home victory for La Dea in midweek.
