Atalanta have proven to be European specialists in recent seasons. Giant Gasperini’s side have kicked on since winning the Europa League last term after picking up four points from their opening two matches in the Champions League.
Atalanta will be overwhelming favorites in this showdown against Celtic on Tuesday.
The SPL champions were hugely disappointing on matchday two after conceding seven times in Germany against Borussia Dortmund. However, a shock win in Italy could see them end the round in the top 16 spots.
Odds
A home win for Atalanta will be a preferred prediction for many this week at -231. Celtic are the outsiders on the moneyline at +600.

Atalanta vs. Celtic Prediction

Atalanta will be without a number of important starts, but they should have too much in reserve for the Hoops on Wednesday.
