Midtjylland vs Atalanta Predictions

• Atalanta’s Champions League games averaged 3.88 goals per 90 minutes last season.
• Atalanta’s Serie A fixtures are averaging 5.75 goals per game this term.
• Midtjylland have never made it to the Champions League group stage before.
• Atalanta scored exactly four goals in each of their last two away assignments.

Atalanta to start with comfortable win

Gian Piero Gasperini’s thrilling La Dea team were one of the Champions League’s surprise packages last season, and Atalanta will be determined to emulate their success in 2019/20 with another run to the knockout stages this term.

Atalanta’s fixtures were hugely entertaining affairs in last season’s competition, with 35 goals plundered at either end in their nine tournament matches, and their domestic performances so far this season suggest that their continental contests should be just as enthralling this year.

La Dea hit 14 goals in their first four Serie A games of the fresh campaign, and Gasperini’s unique tactical blueprint looks primed to produce more exciting matches in the Champions League in 2020/21.

Atalanta’s frenetic attacking football should prove too potent for Champions League newcomers Midtjylland to cope with on Wednesday, and with penalty area action likely, the over 3.5 goals market is favoured for the game, while a 4-2 away win correct score prediction also appeals.

Gasperini’s charges hit the net four times in their first two away contests in Serie A, but having conceded at least twice in three of their first four matches of the new season, chances and goals look probable for both clubs in Denmark this week. With those factors aligned, our correct score forecast indicates a high-scoring away win looks an outcome worth backing.
