Match Prediction: Paris Saint Germain 3-1 Atalanta

Paris Saint Germain's recent form suggests we will see a strong offensive display against Atalanta. Their ability to score multiple goals, as seen in their 6-3 win against Toulouse, indicates they could exploit Atalanta's defensive vulnerabilities. Atalanta, on the other hand, have struggled to secure many wins, drawing twice and losing one in their last four matches. This inconsistency might hinder their ability to counter PSG's attacking prowess effectively.

Despite Atalanta's recent struggles, they have shown resilience in beating Lecce on September 16. PSG's consistent victories in Ligue 1, coupled with their high-scoring game against Toulouse, position them as favourites. Atalanta will need to be exceptionally organised and opportunistic to challenge PSG's dominance.

Paris Saint Germain enter this match in robust form, having secured four consecutive wins in Ligue 1. Their most notable performance was a 6-3 victory against Toulouse, showcasing their offensive capabilities. This form suggests they will approach the game with confidence, likely aiming to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. Their ability to win away and at home indicates a well-rounded team ready to tackle the challenges of the Champions League.

The draw against Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup is the only blemish on their recent record, but it also highlights their resilience. PSG's ability to come back from a deficit against a strong opponent like Tottenham could be crucial if they face similar situations against Atalanta. Their recent performances suggest they are in prime condition to advance in the tournament.

Recent Results (all competitions):

• Win: 2-0 vs Lens (H) - Ligue 1

• Win: 6-3 vs Toulouse (A) - Ligue 1

• Win: 1-0 vs Angers SCO (H) - Ligue 1

• Win: 1-0 vs Nantes (A) - Ligue 1

• Draw: 2-2 vs Tottenham Hotspur (H) - UEFA Super Cup

Atalanta's recent form has been less than stellar, with two draws, a win and a loss in their last four matches. Their inability to secure many wins, particularly the loss to Juventus in a friendly, raises concerns about their readiness for the Champions League. Atalanta will need to improve their defensive organisation and capitalise on any scoring opportunities to stand a chance against PSG.

The draws against Parma and Pisa, coupled with a win against Lecce last time out, indicate a team struggling to find consistency. While they have shown some resilience, their inability to convert draws into wins could be detrimental against a formidable opponent like PSG. Atalanta must elevate their performance significantly to compete effectively in this match.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Parma (A) - Serie A

• Draw: 1-1 vs Pisa (H) - Serie A

• Désiré Doué (Calf) - Out

• Fabián Ruiz (Muscle) - Doubt

• Ousmane Dembélé (Hamstring) - Out

• Sead Kolašinac  (Cruciate Ligament) - Out

• Mitchel Bakker (Cruciate Ligament) - Out

• Éderson (Knee) - Doubt

• Gianluca Scamacca (Muscle) - Doubt

• Chevalier, Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Beraldo, Mendes, Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz, Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, Barcola

PSG will focus on maintaining their high-scoring form and will look to the attacking prowess of Kang-in Lee, Bradley Barcola, and Gonçalo Ramos to make a difference. Their recent success suggests a strategy centred around possession and exploiting Atalanta's defensive weaknesses from the beginning.

• Carnesecchi, Scalvini, Hien, Djimsiti, Bellanova, de Roon, Pasalić, Zalewski, De Ketelaere, Maldini, Krstović

The absence of Sead Kolasinac due to a cruciate ligament tear will force Atalanta to adjust their defensive setup. They will need to rely on their midfield to provide defensive support and capitalise on any counter-attacks that come their way.

• Illia Zabarnyi vs Daniel Maldini: Maldini’s tenacity and directness will be tested against Zabarnyi’s defensive solidity.

• Bradley Barcola vs Giorgio Scalvini: Barcola’s explosive speed will face a challenge from Scalvini’s strong tackling and game awareness.

• Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain): Vitinha’s passing accuracy could be decisive in breaking through Atalanta's sometimes stubborn defence.

• Mario Pašalić (Atalanta): Pašalić is known for his playmaking skills, and these will be a must-have if Atalanta are to get anything from this game.
