For Atalanta, the current Serie A campaign is going in waves. Bergamaschi every offseason seriously renew the squad, and therefore the debut of each championship is very difficult for them. Now they have only two wins in six starts, but once the newcomers got used to Gian Piero Gasperini's demands, the results went up sharply. They produced an 11-match winning streak, which allowed them to move to the top of the standings, but they failed to keep the momentum going.
In the last eight rounds, the Black and Blues were content with just two wins, beating Como and Verona - 2:1 and 5:0, respectively. On another five occasions they have shared points with their opponents, including last weekend when they failed to beat Cagliari 0:0. Once during this stretch, the Bergamaschi lost to Napoli 2:3. Such a disappointing stretch sent them to third place in Serie A, and the gap from the leader is already five points.
Atalanta have only suffered one defeat in the Champions League, and that was against Real Madrid in a hard-fought 2:3 draw. At the same time, the Italians have drawn three more times and won the remaining four games. This was enough for ninth place in the combined standings, and therefore they went to the round of 32 of the tournament. In the away game against Brugge, the team was close to a draw, but in the 94th minute missed a penalty and lost - 1:2.
Brugge
Brugge is one of the strongest teams in Belgium, which this season spends in the status of the current champion of the country. At the same time, in the current Jupiler League, things are not so good for the Black and Blue. They got off to a rough start, scoring only one point in the opening three games, then picked up a great run, but in the last four games they have only one win, twice shared points with their opponents, and once lost, so they are now in second place in the standings.
At the general stage of the Champions League Belgians performed with mixed success. For eight rounds, they managed to beat only Sturm - 1:0, Aston Villa - 1:0, as well as Sporting - 2:1. A couple more times they shared points with Celtic and Juventus - 1:1 and 0:0, respectively, while losing to Borussia Dortmund - 0:3, Milan - 1:3, as well as Man City - 1:3. With 11 points Brugge jumped into the last carriage of the departing train, taking 24th place in the composite standings, and therefore made it to the round of 32.
In the confrontation with Atalanta, the Belgians were seen as outsiders, but at the end of the first game of the round of 32 were able to keep a good chance for the final success. They had a game advantage, but for a long time the score was tied, but at the very end of the meeting Gustav Nilsson realized a penalty, which allowed them to win an important victory - 2:1. Now Brugge remains to keep the advantage in Bergamo.

Expert Betting Tips
Atalanta has been playing poorly lately. In 13 previous matches in all tournaments, the Bergamaschi have won only three times, which in itself can be considered a disappointing result for such an ambitious team. At the same time, Gian Piero Gasperini knows how to prepare his charges for the key games of the season, which allowed the Italians to win the last Europa League. They have a tremendous amount of experience, and therefore, even with the existing personnel problems, they should succeed in the return battle with Brugge.
