I think tonight's match Atalanta will be fateful, as we know Paris has a group of distinguished players, who can score beautiful goals!!!! If Atalanta is looking to reach the semi-finals, they must win tonight by two goals to ensure qualification.


This will be the first official match between Atalanta and PSG.
Atalanta's only precedent against a French club in European competition was against Lyon in the 2017/18 Europa League group stage
- drew 1-1 in France
- and won 1-0 at home
I hope..

It will be PSG because they haven't played in their league and they are fresher and not as tired as the other teams and they are definitely very talented and they could beat any team on the right day if they are playing %100 of their game.

You should have watched the match between Lyon and PSG , many players were forced out with slight injuries. Thiago Silva, Kurzawa and Icardi were the ones who were getting medical attention after they were substituted. It was two weeks ago though but still I don't think all of those players are 100% fit.

Atalanta on the other side is a very good side. They even have very dangerous players on their bench. One of them is Muriel who have come from the bench most of times and has 18 goals to his name in Serie A which is crazy. However absence of Ilicic is a bit worrying for the side.

 I have said it before I will say it again, I believe the finals will be between City and PSG. It will be PSG because they haven't played in their league and they are fresher and not as tired as the other teams and they are definitely very talented and they could beat any team on the right day if they are playing %100 of their game. It will be City because they are punished from Champions league next year and even year after that so if they want to win the champions league now they have to work very hard for it, otherwise they will need to wait at least 2 years to even compete let alone win.

 Who will be between those two? I do not know, that will be yet to seen however they are definitely going to be in the finals if you ask me, obviously this is a prediction and not a guaranteed thing, I could be very wrong, both teams could end up losing next games and get eleminateed without even going to semi finals, however my prediction stands with them in the finals.

I know it is easier to root against PSG however they are still far superior team there, Atalanta has played some good football this year and it is a wonder how they have come thus far, however it is still PSG right there, it is impossible for me to bet on Atalanta when PSG is right there for me to bet.

I am going to go in on it a bit, I am not going to go all-in or anything with my bankroll, I know there is still some risks involved, and I understand that Atalanta could beat PSG since this is football and anything could happen. However I can't in good conscience risk my money by putting it on Atalanta over PSG, at the very worst case I could maybe do a draw, but even that doesn't look like possible to me. Hence I am going to just go with PSG even though I do not root for them.

50:50, i think both of Atalanta or PSG very hard to make a decision for betting now. Atalanta new comers with good local record in the last 2 season. PSG become a favorite in this matches but Atalanta can give something that makes PSG shocked.


For me, I will be happy to see Atalanta to the next stage than Juventus from Serie-A clubs. 🤣

^  Mbappe prolly has 10 minutes in him...  Maybe less.  Tuchel can't risk injuring him again.  Then again, PSG could be sand bagging.  Grin

What do you guys think of Neymar anytime to score at 1.88.  Still value?  It was at 2.15ish a few days ago.

Neymar have not scored that often in the last CL matches, what makes you believe he will score this time against one of the best defenses of the Italian A Series at this low odds  Huh I would be too risky for me and would rather go for a win of PSG at 1.99.

Neymar any time, yeah those odds are OK. I think PSG will win but I’m supporting Atalanta myself. Maybe Tuchel will start Mbappe on the bench, if they need him late on though it wouldn’t surprise me if they throw him on, it’s the end of the season & the biggest prize of all is on offer.

I am thinking Atalanta style of football will be areal surprise for PSG side and that they will have hard time adapting to it being used to be the ones attacking all the time. Should be goals on both sides and I am excepting Atalanta to secure at least a draw. My bet for today is both to score and Atalanta not to lose @2.6

And it is easy to root against PSG since they are such artificial squad. Don't know why that bothers me so much more in PSG case than in Man City case  Grin
If PSG won't be careful and get conceded goal in early minutes, they might be shocked by what Atalanta can do. The defense system of PSG is not good and Marco Veratti will miss the match that can cause troubles for PSG too. Atalanta don't have anything to lose in their first season in Champions League and PSG might fall into panic game like in the match with Barcelona years ago.

Mbappe comes back to training but I don't think he will be ready to start a match.

agree on this one, but it bothers me for both sides, PSG, Man City, although City was a well known club even before money pumped into them

nevertheless, do not expect much from Atalanta tonight, and will put PSG to win, do not expect much from PSG either, but at this moment, they are far better from Atalanta that is in form down-slide, and their season is already over from my point of view

very important point in the match will be if Mbappe does not start, that could leverage some aspiration for Atalanta, and we could see a score turnaround from losing at half to PSG win at the end

Interesting match in champions league today Atalanta vs Paris SG, as this teams never played each other before.
I am not sure how PSG will play after five months break in their league, and few players will not play here including Di Maria.
Odds suggest that PSG is favorite but I am not so sure.
Atalanta finished Seria A in thirs place and played great with most goals scored (98) and best attack in Seria A.
They have 3 injured players including important Ilicic, but Zapata and Muriel will be enough in attack.
I expect to see goals today Smiley

I think Atalanta will have the edge here so my bets will be:
Asian Handicap Atalanta
Atalanta Win
Atalanta to Qualify
risky bet - Zapata to score

Its a very good fixture and I am expecting good amount of goals from both sides considering how weak defense both side has.

I am rooting for Atalanta since it's their first CL and they are doing extremely well so far.

Well, yesterday I bet second time on PSG (odd 1.87), my first bet was on a full time draw ,  odd 2.93 Let's see what will  happen, draw is preferable though Atalanta will fight until the last minute in this case.

PSG are a good team but I don't think they are fully fit. In last Coupe de France match against Lyon many players were forced out with slight injuries. Now for today's game di Maria is out, and Veratti and Kurzawa is questionable. In last game, Lyon were pressing very hard on counter and gave PSG a difficult time so I think situation of PSG hasn't gone better so I think Atalanta has very good chance of winning.

Its a very good fixture and I am expecting good amount of goals from both sides considering how weak defense both side has.

do not expect easy win for PSG, but do think that 1.90 is value bet, and will play it
IMO, PSG does not have the chance of winning Champions league, but they have easy road to the finals, would be wise to use it, and with Atalanta form in last few rounds of Calcio, they do not have the guts for semi-finals

Agreed, I placed the same bet as it is nice value! PSG simply has a better team than Atalanta.

I never place a bet on draws as it is too unpredictable. If you suspect that the underdog stands a chance, I would use double chance.

a draw could be feasible, both teams are devoted to attacking for the full 90 minutes and wobbly defenses, I think I'm betting on GG1ht

I fancy Atalanta as outsiders, but I think Bayern will win it  Smiley

Don’t think I’ll get a prize as I’m too many points adrift , but never give up  Smiley
I would go the other way mate, I think FC Barcelona of Spain will win this, the would be able to edge out Bayern Munich on Friday and I don't think there would be a first time champion -atalanta, Manchester city, PSG or Lyon-

Going to today's match
PSG vs Atalanta I predict a full time draw and PSG to qualify.

Just few days before game 2 Atletico players got positive Covid-19 tests:
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11838/12046138/atletico-madrid-confirm-two-positive-coronavirus-tests-ahead-of-champions-league-quarter-final
It's Angel Correa and Sime Vrsaljko. Vrsaljko isn't very important player and was injured before this, but absense of Correa is more significant factor.
tomorrow we will finally see the long awaited Atalanta psg, it seems to be the big match of the season 😅😅
Not sure is it the big match of the season, but definitely it should be interesting. Looking at odds, bookmakers gives advantage to PSG. And in last some Serie A rounds Atalanta weren't so impressive. But I would like to see PSG eliminated Cheesy.

it is a long-awaited match, everyone is talking about it .. it has come to the fore at the expense of Real Madrid - Manchester city for this reason I say it is a big match even if it is actually not
