Atalanta will host two time defending Champions of Premier League Manchester City in their next Champions League match. Manchester City will come into this match, having lost only a couple of matches in the season so far.

Atalanta vs Manchester City, UEFA Champions League 2019-20: Match Preview

Atalanta had managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in history on the back of their third place finish in Serie A ahead of the reputed Milan and Rome based teams.

The Gian Piero Gasperini managed side had even ended the campaign as the top scorer ahead of even the eventual champions Juventus and runners up Napoli as they netted 77 goals in the season.

It is fair to say that Giamperini’s side will not be looking forward to the match against a threatening Manchester side after having outplayed 5-1 in their last Champions League game.

On the other hand, Manchester City have bounced back from their 2-0 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers. They have won their next five games on the trot. As far as their Champions League record is concerned, they have lost all their three matches so far and find themselves at the top of the points tally.

Interestingly, Manchester City can very well take a seven point lead at the top of the table and even confirm their qualification for the knock out stages. For that, they would need to beat Atalanta and Shakhtar Donetsk and Dinamo Zagreb will have to produce a draw.
