Atalanta’s ambitions of finishing top might be decided here

Despite the heartbreaking loss in the last round, Atalanta have the chance to avenge. Looking back at that game, La Dea led 2-0 at halftime. However, Gasperini’s men couldn’t cope with Manchester United’s pressure in the second half. Nonetheless, Atalanta had a couple of chances to kill the game but couldn’t take it. In fact, with 30 dangerous attacks in the second half, they had three more than United.

Certainly, La Dea want to finish top of the group to avoid a top team in the knockout stage. During last season’s knockout stage, Atalanta faced Real Madrid and lost 1-4 on aggregate. Hence, Gasperini must take advantage of United’s defensive problems. On the other hand, the Nerazzurri’s defense isn’t very reliable in the UCL after conceding five goals in three matches.

Manchester United need to sort out their defensive problems

Three-time Champions League/European Cup winners Manchester United bounced back from their matchday one defeat. Notably, the Red Devils won their two next matches beating Villarreal and Atalanta at Old Trafford. Now they face the difficulty of playing both of those teams away in the second half of the group stage. 

Surely, United’s boss is under great pressure because of their current domestic form. Hence it is crucial for the Red Devils to stay on top of Group F. Obviously, United’s main problems are in defense, be it in the UCL or Premier League. Still, Ronaldo saved the day for the Red Devils in the last match, and he can never be counted out to have a signature on any game he plays in.

Atalanta vs Manchester United Prediction

With odds of 1.45, the match with the highest probability of both teams scoring is this one. Also, the statistics show that the chances for BTTS to happen are 75%. To illustrate, United’s three matches and Atalanta’s two of three matches saw BTTS happen.

In the same way, the bookies expect a high-scoring game paying just 1.52 at VBet for over 2.5 total goals. And we can see that again in the same games of the two teams as we mentioned earlier. However, we may see both coaches focus more on their defense to avoid a defeat.

As a result of all these stats and results, we will choose a combo bet from Vbet which combines double chance and total goals scored. Moreover, the odds are much better in the combos section.
