Roberto Morales, a well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator, shared his forecast for the Champions League game between Shakhtar and Atalanta.
- Shakhtar have already passed the test with one representative of Serie A, and it was difficult, although there was a missed penalty. "Bologna were higher than Atalanta last season, but everyone understands that it was a leap over their heads, so the Bergamaschi are a more solid opponent.
Atalanta started the new season at an average pace, losing to Real Madrid (0:2) in the UEFA Super Cup. In the league, the team scored only seven points in six matches. This weekend, the Bergamaschi played against the aforementioned Bologna. The match ended in a draw (1:1), which Gasperini's team snatched in the last minute of the match, playing almost the entire half with a one-man advantage. In the current Champions League, Atalanta, like Shakhtar, started 0-0. In the opening round, it played Arsenal at home. So far, the Miners' opponent has beaten only two teams this season, modest Lecce and Fiorentina.
Shakhtar started very poorly in the UPL. As for the current champion. They have already lost eight points in seven rounds. Marino Pušić is in a situation of possible dismissal, it seems that he does not fully control the situation in the team. "The bet is a victory for Atalanta and goals for both teams," Morales said.
