Atalanta vs Slavia Prague Prediction & Betting Tips (22 October)

Now considered on the continental scene, Atalanta won the Europa League in 2024 before being surprised by Club Bruges in the round of 16 of the Champions League last year. This season, the Dea will try to achieve a better run in C1. We still have to live without tactician Gian Piero Gasperini who left the club this summer. Severely beaten by PSG on the first day 4-0, the team based in Bergamo then took advantage of the support of its fans to beat Club Bruges two weeks later 2-1. On the national scene, Atalanta is currently 6th in Serie A and is 5 points behind the leader. Still undefeated with 2 wins and 4 draws, Ivan Juric's men are difficult to maneuver but are not sovereign. After sharing the points with Juventus 1-1 and Como 1-1, they hosted Lazio last weekend.

Unable to get out of the C3 league stage last year, Slavia Prague are testing themselves in the Champions League this season. The task obviously promises to be difficult for the Czechs who started their campaign with a draw at home against Bodo/Glimt, losing a 2-goal advantage 2-2. During the 2nd day, they did not exist in the den of Inter and conceded a heavy setback 3-0 . In its championship, Slavia Prague is in the fight for the title and today occupies 2nd place in the standings with 1 point behind Sparta Prague. Jindrich Trpisovsky's men have yet to taste defeat, 7 wins and 4 draws. After taking a point at Sparta Prague 1-1, they hosted Zlin last weekend.

The Atalanta infirmary was emptied recently. However, the coach remains deprived of the important defenders Kossounou and Bellanova as well as the solid attacker Scamacca, who have not sufficiently recovered from their physical problems. Furthermore, replacement Bakker was not included on the list to play in this Champions League. Scorer against Club Bruges, Croatian playmaker Pasalic (1 goal and 1 assist in SA, 1 goal in C1) could start again this Wednesday. He was positioned in support of the attackers Lookman and Krstovic (2 goals and 3 assists in SA) but the Belgian De Ketelaere (2 goals in SA) is back on his feet. Note that the Serbian Samardzic (1 goal and 1 assist in SA, 1 goal in C1) scored after coming into play during the last match of C1.

For Slavia Prague, it is important to point out the absences of the defensive recruit Javorcek, the replacements Fully (defender) and Sevcik (midfielder) as well as the most important Zmrzly and Vorlicky (midfielders), who did not have been registered to play the league phase. Added to this are the withdrawals of goalkeeper No. 1 Stanek, starting defenders Ogbu and Holes and midfielder Doudera. In the offensive sector, we could find the influential Kusej (4 goals and 4 assists in the league), Provod (2 goals and 4 assists in the league) and Chory (3 goals in the league). In midfield, we find the Greek Zafeiris (2 goals and 2 assists in the league).
