UEFA Champions League -- Manchester United vs Atalanta

Manchester United are set to play Atalanta at Old Trafford on Wednesday in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

 

 

Manchester United fell to another league defeat to Leicester City at the weekend and sit only third in Group F. Manchester United have picked up just one point from their last three Premier League games, coming from a 1-1 draw with Everton between a loss at home to Aston Villa and Saturday's dramatic 4-2 defeat at Leicester City. They also started Champions League their poorly with a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of group underdogs Young Boys. 

 

 

 

 

Atalanta are top of the group and come into the match on the back of a strong Serie A victory. So far they have lost two of their first seven matches and edging just three narrow victories against teams they should have been comfortably beating. In their previous game, Atalanta beat Aurelio Andreazzoli's Empoli 4-1 in Serie A. And that victory moved the team up to sixth in the standings.

 

 

Manchester United did not keep a clean sheet in the last eight games in all competitions. And Atalanta have also been struggling to keep the clean sheet, shipping two goals at Inter, three goals to Milan, and one goal to Empoli in the last three rounds. Therefore, expect this game will be a goal feast.
