Atalanta - FC Copenhagen Prediction, Picks and Tips
Atalanta Bergamo impressed last year in the Europa League. This year the Italians want to show themselves outside their own borders. FC Copenhagen is the last hurdle on the way to the group stage.
Atalanta Bergamo already entered the second qualifying round of the Europa League. After a false start against Sarajevo, with a 2-2 in the home game, things went much better in Bosnia. Atalanta won there with no less than 1-8. In the previous round, those Italians had few problems with Hapoel Haifa, from Israel. The club was defeated twice. Last weekend, the blackblues competed against the small Frosinone in the Italian league. Again, Atalanta was the better match, resulting in a big 4-0 victory, good for the top position in the Serie A. Compared to last year, when Bergamo almost eliminated Borussia Dortmund in the sixteenth final, not much has changed. International Bryan Cristante has left, but furthermore most of the basic players from last year are still present. With Hans Hateboer, Marten de Roon and Robin Gosens there are three players who have a past in the Premier League. The first two can usually count on a basic place. With Gosens something more is being rotated by trainer Gian Piero Gasperini. Attacking midfielder Josip Ilicic will be missing due to an injury on Thursday.
The Danes of FC Copenhagen have played a preliminary round more than Atalanta. Already in the first round the club had to start from the Danish capital. In succession, Copenhagen settled with the Finnish KuPS, Stjarnan from Iceland, and the Bulgarian CSKA Sofia. Five of the six games were won by Copenhagen. Incidentally, the Danes came to the sixteenth finals last year, just like Bergamo in the Europa League. In that, the later winner Atletico Madrid was far too strong. Copenhagen started well in its own league. The Danish league already has six rounds of play, and Copenhagen is the provisional list leader. After a disappointing last season, in which the club finished no less than 27 points behind champion Midtjylland, Copenhagen wants to make a run for the national title again this season. In summer, the necessary players were sold, including keeper Robin Olsen. The club also retrieved the necessary players, who also have qualities.
