Atalanta vs Club Brugge: Preview, predictions and lineups

Atalanta have work to do in the second leg of their Champions League knockout round play-off tie against Club Brugge.

La Dea seemed destined to secure a 1-1 draw away in Bruges last Wednesday after Mario Pasalic cancelled out Ferran Jutgla’s opener, but a highly contentious penalty decision late on allowed the hosts to claim a 2-1 victory.

With away goals no longer considered in this competition, Atalanta require a healthy victory in Bergamo to progress into the round of 16.

Both teams remain in the hunt for their respective domestic titles this season, but the pair were held to draws at the weekend. While Atalanta failed to break down a resolute Cagliari side in a goalless stalemate, Brugge rallied late to pick up a point at the struggling STVV.
