The Champions League is just beginning
The teams met in the previous round where Man City won 5-1. Atalanta doesn't seem to have much of a chance to continue in the European competition this season, while City will be one of the favorites to win the CL. The match will take place in Milan, at the San Siro stadium, not in Bergamo, so the home advantage factor is reduced here. Atalanta is not in the best form at the moment, having lost at home to Cagliari over the weekend, and they have conceded the most goals in the CL among all teams. City has had some problems this season, but a positive result was usually achieved, winning 9 of the last 10 matches.
Today, Atalanta will still be without their best striker Zapata, while City will miss Foden, Laporte, Rodri, Sane, Silva, and Zinchenko. City's injury list is quite long, and it's worth mentioning that they have a match against Liverpool over the weekend, so some players might be rested. However, City has one of the deepest squads among all European teams, so we are confident that we will see capable players in this match as well. The offered odds suggest taking a win for the visitors. Pep's men should dominate the match and score goals again; we wouldn't be surprised if Atalanta also scores, but in the end, we see a City victory. Good luck.
