- Atalanta have yet to concede a goal in this season’s Champions League
- Young Boys have lost all four Champions League fixtures this season
- Recommended bet: Atalanta to win and over 2.5 goals

Atalanta are second in Serie A, a point behind Napoli but ahead of reigning champions Inter Milan on goal difference, and Gian Piero Gasperini will be expecting his side to continue their long unbeaten run when they visit Swiss champions Young Boys.

The hosts — playing their first Champions League fixture at the Wankdorf Stadium since a 1-0 loss to Inter in October — have won just one of their last four matches in all competitions and have scored just one goal in Europe so far.

La Dea meanwhile are enjoying an 11-game run without defeat — winning nine in that spell — and have won each of their last six matches in all competitions, which includes an impressive 3-0 victory at Napoli in early November.

Team news

Atalanta will be without midfielder Ederson as he serves a one-match suspension for accumulating three yellow cards, while Davide Zappacosta, Ben Godfrey, Berat Djimsiti, Sead Kolasinac and Gianluca Scamacca are all out through injury.

Young Boys are also without a number of first-team players as Tanguy Zoukrou, Abdu Conte, Patric Pfeiffer, Saidy Janko and Loris Benito are all on the treatment table while Sadin Crnovrsanin is illegible.

The stats

The two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw the last time they met in the Champions League in 2021.

Young Boys have conceded four goals across their two home fixtures in this competition, scoring none.

Caretaker manager Joel Magnin has won three of his eight games as Young Boys boss.

Atalanta have won each of their last five away matches, keeping four clean sheets in that run, which includes winning both of their two Champions League away contests to nil.

La Dea possess the best goalscoring record in Serie A with 34 goals from 13 matches.

Ademola Lookman has scored two of Atalanta’s five Champions League goals this season.

Prediction

Considering their dominant form across league and cup competitions, it is difficult to see anything other than a victory for Atalanta when they make the trip to Bern on Tuesday night.

La Dea have scored at least two goals in each of their last six matches, including putting three past Parma at the weekend, with both Ademola Lookman and Mateo Retegui getting on the scoresheet.

Between them, Lookman and Retegui have scored 19 of Atalanta’s 34 Serie A goals and this form should be a cause for concern for Young Boys, whose tally of 11 goals conceded is the fourth worst in the competition so far, with only Crvena Zvezda (16), Slovan Bratislava (15) and Dinamo Zagreb (12) having conceded more.

The hosts poor defensive record should give the visitors the confidence to run away with proceedings on Tuesday and a comfortable victory could be in store for La Dea.
