Atalanta vs Club Brugge KV prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-09-29 16:45.
[p]After losing their opening match of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase, Atalanta will hope to get themselves on the board when they host Club Brugge.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It proved to be a miserable UCL matchday one for Atalanta as they were routinely beaten 4-0 by PSG, a result which leaves them bottom of the league phase table. The hosts have since responded with a 3-0 victory over Torino and a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Juventus in the league, two results which should have boosted confidence as they look to end their current three match losing streak in this competition. One more reversal would mark their longest-ever losing run in the UCL, and having won only two of their last 12 UCL home games (D5, L5), making unwanted history can’t be ruled out here.[/p]
[p]Club Brugge journey to Italy on the back of a stunning 4-1 victory against Monaco in their UCL opener, a match which sparked their ongoing unbeaten run (W3, D1). They’ll need to be at their best again here in order to extend that streak further, especially as they’ve won just two of their last nine away outings in the UCL proper (D3, L4). They certainly shouldn’t be written off on account of that though, as Club Brugge have actually won all five of their UCL outings this term (inc qualifiers) and have lost only three of their last 16 European group/league phase matches (W9, D4).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Before beating Atalanta in both meetings in the 2024/25 UCL play-off round, Club Brugge had posted a 15-match winless run against Italian opposition in major European competition (D6, L9).[/p]
