Atalanta host Manchester United on Matchday four of the Champions League in an important Group F clash at the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia. The hosts are placed at third in the standings with four points from the first three games while the visitors are ranked top of the table with six points from their three fixtures so far. Atalanta started with a 2-2 draw with Villarreal before a 1-0 win over Young Boys. Their only loss so far was against Manchester United themselves at Old Trafford with a 3-2 scoreline. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have been on a decent start in Serie A and are not at a bad place in the Champions League. A win over Manchester United will put them in the driver’s seat for possible qualification to the knockout stages. However, Atalanta have few defensive concerns to address before the Manchester United game. They have not managed a clean sheet in their last six matches across all competitions and both teams have scored in eight of the last nine. In the Champions League, three of the last four have seen both teams score.

Manchester United have had their struggles to deal with in the current season and have been highly inconsistent with their results so far. The Ole Gunnar-Solskjaer-reigned side come into the game with a dominating 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, thus managing to keep their first clean sheets in eleven games across all competitions. Manchester United faced a shock defeat on Matchday one of the Champions League when they lost 2-1 to Young Boys. However, they have managed to recover a bit with wins over Villarreal and Atalanta with 2-1 and 3-2 score lines. The Reds are firm favourites to advance from this group and three points over Atalanta will only take them closer to achieving that. Four of their last six games have seen both teams score and it's six in a row in the Champions League.
