Young Boys Bern will take on Atalanta on Tuesday to keep their hopes of qualifying from the group alive. Two teams in different mindsets will clash on artificial turf. While the Swiss champion is struggling, Atalanta’s attack is at least running like clockwork.
The Young Boys are fighting valiantly in the group of death, but have only taken three points from the opening four rounds. A win against Manchester United was followed by three draws, but on the other hand, they certainly did not disappoint with their performance.
Atalanta, as a regular participant in the last editions of the Champions League, remain behind expectations in terms of points. Five points after four games is not enough, especially when the Italian team had three points in all of them. On Tuesday, it has to be for three points.
American striker Jordan Siebatcheu has been the home team’s goal scorer, scoring ten goals and assisting twice through all competitions. Central midfielder Michel Aebischer boasts a 4+7 record.
Duván Zapata is on a rampage at the tip of Atalanta’s attack, the strong Colombian has been on the scoresheet with thirteen goals (8+5), especially the double against the Red Devils was excellent. Mario Pasalic, a loan signing from Chelsea London, has been on a rampage in midfield, scoring five goals and assisting six times.
Bern have struggled in recent weeks, winning only one of their last seven games, dropping out of the League Cup and finishing fourth in the league.
The team from Bergamo has long relied on its goal attack, scoring more than one goal in eight of its last nine games.
Given the poor form of the home side and the spaced out offense of the visitors, I think Atalanta can win on artificial turf.
