Atalanta vs Arsenal Prediction, Betting Tips & 10/1 Bet Builder

Atalanta vs Arsenal preview and betting tips for Thursday’s Champions League opener from the Gewiss Stadium.

Marking their return from September’s international break with a stellar 1-0 victory away at arch-rivals Tottenham last weekend, Arsenal have come flying out of the traps since opening up the new campaign and they will be relishing a trip to Bergamo in midweek.

Making real history last season as they got their hands on a maiden European crown thanks to a stunning 3-0 romp against Bayer Leverkusen over in Dublin, Atalanta will certainly be excited by their return to Europe’s elite club competition on Thursday night.

 

Atalanta vs Arsenal Prediction

While Arsenal might have once again fallen short last season as they missed out on the chance to get their hands on a first Premier League title since 2004, the Gunners haven’t shown any signs of a hangover. Continuing to receive a string of plaudits from across the continent, Mikel Arteta’s young squad have collected 10 points from their first four top-flight appearances. Marking their return from September’s fortnight interval with a 1-0 victory away at bitter local rivals Tottenham, Thursday’s guests have gained a reputation for their success away from the Emirates. In fact, continuing on from last season, Arsenal have won five of their previous six showdowns outside of north London across all competitions.

Managing to make a welcomed return to winning ways last weekend as they claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory at home against Fiorentina, Atalanta will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, heading into September’s international break with a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Inter Milan, La Dea have shown some extended defensive issues. Including a 2-1 defeat against Torino last month, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have shipped eight goals in just their previous three Serie A appearances. Despite their remarkable Europa League success back in May, Atalanta should be bracing themselves for a heavyweight examination on Thursday night.
