Atalanta v Celtic Betting Tips [23 October 2024]

Another tough match on the road beckons for Celtic as they head to Atalanta for their third Champions League match. Placed 10th in the standing after two matches, La Dea are clear favorites as they welcome The Hoops, who are currently 20th. Read on for our preview and prediction of the match.

Atalanta have gone through highs and lows in the season but are coming here on a strong footing. They’ve gone undefeated in the four matches after their shock 3-2 home loss to Como.

In their last three matches, they posted wins and two clean sheets. The latest of them was a 2-0 victory at Venezia, and they’ve now scored 13 times in five matches.

The 7-1 defeat at Dortmund on Match Day 2 will surely be still ringing when Celtic take to the Bergamo pitch.

Their only loss of the season so far came in crashing design and the Scottish giants will be keen to avoid another such thumping.

Atalanta are capable of that, and Celtic showing signs of shakiness in recent times doesn’t help. They haven't kept a clean sheet since that heavy beating and worse, they let a 2-0 lead slip on Saturday to draw 2-2 with Aberdeen.

Brendan Rodgers’ side has two wins in 17 Champions League matches. They are even poorer away from home, with six straight defeats.

Celtic had a nightmare outing the last time they traveled for a Champions League game. They were ripped apart by a ruthless Borussia Dortmund in another of their heavy away losses in the competition. The Scottish giants have conceded five or more in three of their last five away Champions League matches.

They failed to score in three of those five defeats and face a team on three straight wins and undefeated in four outings. Atalanta have also kept two clean sheets in as many Champions League matches. Our prediction for Atalanta v Celtic is for Atalanta to win without conceding.
