Match Prediction: Atalanta 1-2 Club Brugge

Atalanta, coming off a heavy defeat against Paris Saint-Germain, will be eager to bounce back. Their recent loss highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that Club Brugge might exploit, especially given Brugge's strong home form.

However, Atalanta's attacking players, such as  De Ketelaere and Lookman, could pose a significant threat to Brugge's defence, which has been less tested away from home.

Club Brugge enters this match with an impressive run of victories, demonstrating their ability to dominate both at home and on the road. Their recent wins against Monaco and Rangers suggest a team in high spirits and capable of capitalising on Atalanta's current form.

The key for Brugge will be maintaining their defensive solidity while leveraging their attacking prowess to secure a favourable result.

Atalanta's recent 0-4 loss to Paris Saint-Germain exposed significant defensive frailties that could be a concern against Club Brugge. The absence of Éderson due to injury further weakens their midfield, potentially impacting their ability to control the game's tempo.

However, Atalanta's forwards have the potential to exploit any defensive lapses from Brugge, offering a glimmer of hope for a positive result.
