Atalanta vs Club Brugge Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts are at a one-goal disadvantage against Club Brugge.

Atalanta are all set to host Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 playoff second-leg game. Club Brugge have a clear advantage here as they won the first leg by a scoreline of 2-1. This will not keep them under much pressure even if it is a match with high stakes. The hosts are one-goal down and will be looking to make a comeback at home.

The last game was the first-ever meeting between Club Brugge and Atalanta. The Belgian Pro League side took down the Serie A side at home. Club Brugge will be looking to come up with a top-notch performance so that they can secure a win even away from home.

The Belgian club started attacking early on which helped them score a goal early in the game. They conceded a goal in the first half itself but went on to net a goal during the dying moments of the game to steal the win.

Atalanta’s performance was not up to the mark in the first leg. They will have to drop a special performance here if they want to get to the next stage. Even at home, they are likely to be under pressure as this match will decide their future in the current UCL season. The Serie A side conceded a late goal which led to their defeat in the first leg.
