Sturm Graz vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting Tips (26 October)

After two days in the Europa League, group D has not held any surprises for us and Atalanta leads the standings with six points out of a possible six, ahead of Sporting Lisbon and Sturm with three and the modest Raków Częstochowa at the bottom with zero. The Italians travel to Austria to face Sturm, current leader of their country's league, this Thursday. On the last day of this tournament, Sturm achieved its only victory to date after beating Raków Częstochowa by a narrow margin.

Atalanta, for its part, achieved a very worthwhile victory in Lisbon 1-2.

Injured against Rakow during J2, senior defender Schnegga returned to competition last weekend and it is therefore a full group which will welcome Bergamo. At the start of the season, the strong men of the team are: the young Polish international hopeful Wlodarczyk (4 goals in the league), the Georgian Kiteishvili (3 goals, 3 assists) and the striker Sarkaria (3 pawns, 3 goals ). Without forgetting the young Boving, the only scorer against Sporting, and Jatta (rookie) back from injury and ready to play. There are also two major absences, that of rookie El Bilal Touré (ex-Almeria), who will probably miss the match like the long-term injured Lukas Vorlicky (not a match this season). Absent in the league against promoted Genoa, Teun Koopmeiners (2 goals, 2 assists at the start of the season) was probably preserved and logically fit this evening (to be continued).

Also absent from the match sheet in the championship, Jose Luis Palomino (rotation) will probably be retained by the medical staff. Atalanta's offensive armada should be complete with the return from injury of Gianluca Scamacca (ex-West Ham, 2 goals in SA), the nugget on loan from Milan De Ketelaere (1 goal and 2 assists in SA), or the prolific Lookman (13 goals in SA last season). We also find Pasalic, Scalvini, De Roon and the goalkeeper Musso, who are having a very interesting start to the season.
