Atalanta Bergamo vs Liverpool Betting Odds and Predictions – Champions League 2020

Will Klopp’s Italy curse continue?

Betting Prediction: Draw-no-bet: 1
Betting Odds: 2.5

In an interview from February 2020, Jürgen Klopp once described Italy as a beautiful travel destination with good wine. Nevertheless, he couldn’t imagine coaching a Serie A club because he simply lacks the language skills. In general, Italy is not a very good place for the cult coach who has lost all of his five Champions League matches in the country of the 2006 world champions so far.

Alone with his Reds, “Klopp” was three times at the boot, but suffered three defeats. The English champions will make the next attempt next Tuesday. Then, in Group D of the UEFA Champions League, the eagerly anticipated clash between Atalanta Bergamo and Liverpool will take place. According to the odds of the best bookmakers, the former Dortmund’s “Italy curse” could finally come to an end.

The LFC is currently the favourite in Lombardy, but this does not meet with approval everywhere. In contrast to last season, the English are currently spreading precious little fear and horror. Although there have recently been four cross-competition victories in a row, the dominance and sovereignty that was still evident in 2019/2020 are still missing.

Because the home side from northern Italy is no longer a no-name in European football and their offensive can pose a threat to all defences on the continent, we dare the prediction between Atalanta Bergamo and Liverpool that a tip on coach Gasperini’s team is currently holding the more attractive value. We think it is quite realistic that the black and blue team will win on Tuesday evening.

Atalanta Bergamo – Statistics & current form

Atalanta Bergamo got back on track at the weekend, just in time for the top UEFA Champions League game against Liverpool on Tuesday evening. The “Gli Orobici” had previously remained without a win in three consecutive competitive games and had to take two disappointing bankruptcies in Serie A against Naples (1: 4) and Sampdoria (1: 3). Even in the premier class, it was enough for last year’s quarter-finalist to beat Ajax Amsterdam 2-2.

With the latest 2-1 victory on Saturday in Crotone, those responsible around coach Gian Piero Gasperini are now hoping for the premature end of the mini-crisis. The blue-blacks absolutely want to make the jump to the second round and have therefore set a lot against the English champions at home.

Atalanta is clearly feeling at home in the Champions League

One of the reasons for “La Dea” is the fact that it has not lost any of the last five group games in the UEFA Champions League and has only come up short once in the last eight games in the most important European club competition. In their own stadium, the record is even more impressive with just one defeat from 17 home games.

Duvan Zapata, who was involved in a total of six CL goals for the northern Italians and most recently saved the 2-2 after 0-2 deficit against Ajax with a brace, and his colleagues are particularly building on their own offensive. In the past 19 European Cup games, the blue-blacks have only been without a goal once. On average, the “Bergamasken” even scored 2.1 goals per game over this period.

Robin Gosens missed a duel with fellow countryman Klopp

In view of these remarkable statistics, the proven home strength and the high motivation to annoy the 2019 title winner and thus to take a big step towards the knockout round, the prediction on the hosts should be kept in mind between Atalanta Bergamo and Liverpool. The German international Gosens will be missing as well as Caldara, Carnesecchi, Piccini and De Roon.

The probable lineup of Atalanta Bergamo:
Sportiello; Toloi, Romero, Djimsiti; Hateboer, Freuler, Pasalic, Gosens; Ilicic, Gomez; Zapata

Liverpool – Statistics & current form

Admittedly, we complain at an extremely high level when we attest Liverpool FC a maximally average form these days. Okay, the Reds set the bar extremely high in the past season and yet it is currently a little under the fact that the reigning champions are back in the lead in the Premier League in 2020/21 after seven match days.

Whether it is because Jürgen Klopp’s team already had to take a violent 2: 7 slap at Aston Villa or the victories, in general, are not as confident as in the championship season, is probably up to subjective feelings. The fact is, however, that the men from Anfield Road only played to zero once in the league and “only” won twice with more than one goal difference. Even at the weekend, it took a lot of effort to bring West Ham to their knees 2-1 at home after being 0-1 behind.

Liverpool in the Champions League still without conceding a goal

In the premier class, the Klopp team has so far been flawless. The first two matches against Ajax Amsterdam (1-0) and Midtjylland (2-0) were victorious. Somewhat surprisingly, the Reds were able to convince particularly defensively. A new record awaits on Tuesday because the LFC has never won the first three games of a Champions League group stage in its long history.

The bottom line is that the results, which are absolutely satisfactory, are to be assessed even more positively, as Van Dijk or Thiago were missing important key players recently. While the Dutch defence chief will not be available for a long time, the ex-Munich Thiago could celebrate his comeback during the week. Matip and Oxlade-Chamberlain will definitely be missing. The hopes, therefore, rest once again on Mo Salah, although the former Serie A star does not wait longer for a goal against any other club than against Atalanta Bergamo – 263 minutes.

The probable lineup of Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, R Williams, Gomez, Robertson; Shaqiri, Henderson, Milner; Salah, Mane, Jota

Atalanta Bergamo vs Liverpool – Direct comparison / H2H balance

The two teams have never faced each other in a competitive European match. We already wrote about Jürgen Klopp’s yield in Italy in the introduction. By the way, only Sir Alex Ferguson suffered more defeats in “Bella Italia” than the German LFC coach. For Atalanta Bergamo, it is meanwhile the fifth match against an English team. So far, the balance is positive with two wins, one draw and one defeat.

Atalanta Bergamo vs Liverpool Betting Predictions and Odds

In Group D there will be the top game between Atalanta Bergamo and Liverpool on Tuesday evening. When looking at the betting odds, it becomes clear that the English champions are not in for sure-fire success.

We can understand this assessment of the betting providers, as the northern Italians have penetrated an elite group of top European clubs in recent years. The fact that the blue-blacks only lost one of the last eight Champions League matches, at home only lost one of 17 home games at international level and also have an outstanding offensive makes the Gasperini team a dangerous opponent.

Key facts – Atalanta Bergamo vs Liverpool tips
Bergamo has only lost one of the last eight CL matches
Jürgen Klopp has never won as a coach in Italy
Due to the strong offensive series of both clubs, some goals are to be expected

In addition, because the LFC under Jürgen Klopp has never won in Italy and has not always performed consistently well in the last few years, we see the more attractive value between Atalanta Bergamo and Liverpool in the tip on the home win. You can find an explanation of the term value and much other helpful advice on betting in the relevant betting base area. Even on the two-way market, we get a very lucrative top odds of 2.50 for the success of Lombardy. In the event of a draw, the stake is refunded on the “Draw No Bet” market.
