Manchester United vs. Atalanta: Preview and betting tips

Atalanta visit Old Trafford on Wednesday to defend their Champions League lead. Thanks to the attacking power of both teams, we should also see a lot of goals. Will theexpectations come true?

There is one clear favourite in Group F, Manchester United should be able to handle their opponents, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are not confirming that on the pitch!

Manchester United lost to Young Boys right from the start and then quite happily got three points when they beat Villarreal in the fifth minute of the setup thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo goal.

Atalanta were the ones who took a point from the Spanish side for a 2-2 draw and then beat the team from Bern, Switzerland. This group is still very evenly matched and the bread will be broken in the next double-header.

The Italian side will visit Old Trafford to grab at least a point, but given the form of both teams, we can expect a confident performance from them and they will want to make the most of it. They have some experience from previous editions too, all of which predisposes them to success.

Moreover, in the current season only two teams have beaten them so far (Fiorentina and AC Milan) and they continue to maintain their excellent statistics, especially going forward.

It is Manchester United who are doing really badly, having won only one game out of the last 5, which was the aforementioned duel with Villarreal. Solskjaer’s team has tremendous quality but a lackluster game. Moreover, the fans are also starting to turn against the Norwegian coach.

Nevertheless, Atalanta’s play should suit the Red Devils and with a healed Marcus Rashford and others, they should dominate Wednesday’s duel. Personally though, I’d rather believe we’ll see goals fall, an Over 3.5 bet is certainly not out of place,
