Match Preview
In the upcoming UEFA Youth League clash on 23 October, Atalanta U19 will host Celtic U19 at the Stadio Comunale in Caravaggio. Both teams have shown mixed form recently, with Atalanta managing just one win in their last five matches (DDLWL), while Celtic has fared slightly better, recording two wins (DLWWL). Historically, Atalanta has dominated this fixture, winning the only previous encounter, but the overall head-to-head record suggests a competitive edge for the Italians.
A key angle to consider is Atalanta's defensive struggles, having conceded in four of their last five outings. This could play into Celtic's hands, especially given their recent form, which has seen them find the net consistently. The odds reflect a strong expectation for goals, with both teams likely to score at 1.57 and over 2.5 goals priced at 1.36. Given the attacking talents on display, this match could provide an exciting spectacle, with Celtic aiming to exploit Atalanta's vulnerabilities at the back.
