Atalanta vs. Celtic live stream lineups, prediction for Champions League match

 UEFA Champions League clash between Atalanta and Celtic presents an intriguing clash of two teams with contrasting recent performances. Atalanta enters the fixture on a high, having secured three consecutive victories in their domestic league, including a notable win against Venezia . Their current form demonstrates not only resilience but also an effective tactical approach that has seen them maintain clean sheets in their last four European matches. Conversely, Celtic is striving to regain momentum after suffering a disappointing defeat against Borussia Dortmund, which exposed vulnerabilities in their defense.

Celtic have had a mixed start to their season. Despite a strong domestic showing with 10 wins from 12 matches, they have failed on the European stage.

Brendan Rodgers’ men have struggled in away games in Europe, losing eight of their last nine fixtures in the competition.

Atalanta BC possible starting lineup: Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, Ederson, De Roon, Ruggeri; Samardzic, Lookman; Retegui

Celtic possible starting lineup: Schmeichel; Johnston, Trusty, Scales, Valle; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Furuhashi, Maeda

Atalanta's journey in the competition has been steady yet impressive. They kicked off their campaign with a goalless draw against Arsenal on home turf, demonstrating their defensive solidity. This was followed by an impressive 3-0 triumph over Shakhtar Donetsk in Germany, showcasing their attacking prowess.

On the domestic front, Celtic faced a setback over the weekend. They squandered a two-goal advantage in a critical top-of-the-table clash against Aberdeen, marking the first time they've dropped points this season. The manner of their performance was concerning; they appeared rattled once Aberdeen clawed back a goal and seemed vulnerable under pressure.

Celtic's defeat in Dortmund was harsh, with the gulf between the two sides not being worth six goals. Rodgers' side will be intent on being competitive in Bergamo.

However, Arsenal struggled at Atalanta on Matchday 1 and the unique tactical questions posed by this La Dea team may be too much for a Celtic side that doesn't appear as imperious as it did before they travelled to Germany a few weeks ago.

With Atalanta seemingly clicking into gear after a topsy-turvy start, another disaster looms over Celtic. But Rodgers will likely change his approach after being obliterated in Germany, which could lead to a less attractive affair.
