Game Preview
This Sunday afternoon, Atalanta was better than Venezia on the road, winning 0-2. This was La Dea’s third straight win—prior to this event, the unit from Bergamo was better than Shakhtar and Genoa.
In the past five meetings at Gewiss, we saw them win twice, lose the same number of games, and post a goalless tie against Arsenal. Now, four of those five contests were with both teams netting at least five goals.
Celtic’s Saturday afternoon was bitter, with the Hoops giving away a two-goal lead against Aberdeen. They had a 2-0 advantage, but eventually, they had to settle for a point, 2-2, and a huge bow ahead this match.
If there’s one thing characteristic of the Celtics, it’s high efficiency. The previous four games all saw at least four goals on both ends of the field. The problematic thing is that they conceded two or more hits in each game.

Atalanta vs. Celtic Prediction
Our Champions League pick here is Atlanta to win. Celtic has struggled to protect its goal in recent times, and La Dea looks pretty solid. Plus, there is a matter of home-court advantage, so the hosts’ triumph shouldn’t be questioned.
