Club Brugge vs Atalanta Prediction
Club Brugge reclaimed their domestic title last season, narrowly defeating Royal Union, but the latter got their revenge by winning the Belgian Super Cup. In the Jupiler Pro League, Genk currently leads the standings. Atalanta, after a successful Serie A campaign that saw them return to the top four, also won the Europa League. Despite a rocky start to the current season, they’ve managed to find form, although they’ve suffered some setbacks, including in the Supercoppa Italiana.
In the Champions League, Niki Heyen’s side has exceeded expectations. Despite a 0-3 home loss to Borussia Dortmund, they only lost to Milan and Manchester City (both by 1-3 away) and secured victories over Sturm Graz, Aston Villa, and Sporting, with draws against Celtic and Juventus.
Atalanta, on the other hand, performed strongly in the Champions League, losing only to Real Madrid, whom they also faced in the UEFA Super Cup. Against simpler opponents like Shakhtar Donetsk, Stuttgart, Young Boys, and Sturm Graz, they secured convincing victories. Draws came against Arsenal, Celtic, and Barcelona.
