Atalanta vs Arsenal Prediction & Picks - Champions League
by Simon Day | in Champions League Picks
Last season's Europa League winners Atalanta begin their Champions League campaign with a tough fixture at home to Arsenal. It has been a tough start to the season for Atalanta, highlighted by a chastening 4-0 loss to Inter Milan. However, they came from behind to secure a morale boosting 3-2 victory over Fiorentina at the weekend, so will come into this game with renewed confidence. Arsenal also had a vital win at the weekend, edging out rivals Tottenham Hotspur by one goal to nil in the North London Derby. The Gunners reached the last eight of the Champions League last season, and Mikel Arteta's men look well equipped to make another deep run in the competition.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Atalanta - Arsenal: Form Analysis
Arsenal have made the best start of the season. Unbeaten since the start of the season, the Gunners have got off to a flying start, even if the draw with Brighton still sticks in the craw of many fans. However, Mikel Arteta's side bounced back in style with victory over arch-rivals Tottenham. Gabriel's razor-sharp header put the red-and-whites in the best possible frame of mind for their forthcoming fixtures. Favored on paper, the English club will nevertheless need to put in an XXL performance to avoid a poor result on the European stage.
A win to give themselves some breathing space. After two defeats in as many games played in Italy, Gian Gasperini's men won 3-2 against Fiorentina to revive their momentum. This was obviously the best possible moment, as facing one of the best teams in the English league without a single win on their record was not the best solution. With this positive result, the duel should be more balanced on paper than expected.

Atalanta & Arsenal Squad Analysis
Odegaard absent. Calafiori absent. Saka doubtful. At least Declan Rice is back in the Arsenal squad for this European fixture, which should ease the Spanish coach's mind about his starting line-up. With the best defense in Europe (Gabriel, Saliba, White, Timber), the contribution of Kai Havertz on the attack and the midfield controlled by the Partey - Rice duo, the Gunners have the necessary weapons to emerge victorious from this game.
Ademola Lookman. The team's number-one threat. With a goal and an assist for De Ketelaere against the Viola, the Nigerian reminded many soccer observers that he is the number one contender for the African Golden Ball in the coming weeks. Now it's time for Hien and his defensive partners in the rearguard to raise their game if they are to avoid defeat after 90 minutes.

Our Atalanta vs Arsenal Prediction
This is a tricky test for Arsenal, but we think they have enough quality and experience to get the job done. Atalanta have been vulnerable defensively this season, and that could play into the hands of a Gunners side who break at pace and are experts at set pieces. German forward Kai Havertz is thriving in the number nine role (plus, he is the Gunners' penalty taker) so we are backing him to find the net in an away win.
Our prediction for Atalanta vs Arsenal is: Arsenal to win and Kai Havertz to score, +325 at Caesars Sportsbook.
