Atalanta and Valencia will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Champions League 8th Finals battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!
The hosts Atalanta saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Serie A. This match was also played here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Valencia have had more rest.
Valencia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Atalanta form and stats
Atalanta was eliminated in the play-offs last season in the Europa League. København was too strong.The story so far in the Serie A for Atalanta at their home stadium (Stadio Giuseppe Meazza) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Atalanta has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.
Atalanta's last game was hosting Roma and winning 2-1. In the match before that, Atalanta hosted Genoa and drew the Serie A game 2-2.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of G. Gasperini when Mario Pašalić scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Atalanta matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from two games).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sassuolo are coming to town in four days.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Valencia when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing zero times, drawing zero and winning two games.
