It was nearly disaster for Man City at the weekend, with a Southampton side that had lost 9-0 to the Foxes the weekend before leading until the 70th minute, but the reigning Premier League champions eventually prevailed with Kyle Walker’s winner coming in the 86th minute.
Meanwhile, Atalanta lost hosting Cagliari last time out, but they’re still just one point off third-placed Roma in Serie A and won’t be too disheartened by that defeat having played the majority of the match with 10 men.
The last time these two sides met came just two weeks ago as Pep Guardiola’s charges thrashed the Italian outfit 5-1 at the Etihad, but we expect this reverse fixture to play out differently.
Indeed, when travelling to Italy in the Champions League from the group stages onwards, English sides have gone W3-D1-L11 from 15 outings since 2011/12.
Although 10 of those came against either Napoli or Juventus, they’ve still lost four of five when excluding those two sides.
Moreover, Atalanta bounced back from their recent defeat to the Citizens with a 7-1 victory over a respectable Udinese side here at the Gewiss Stadium, which shows the class they have and we think they deserve a little more respect in the market.
Man City may well be on a current five game winning run in all competitions and have won six of seven on the road this term, but they were still undone by Norwich in the league back in September.
Moreover, in Europe alone they’ve won only seven of their 15 trips under Guardiola, dropping points to all of Celtic, Barcelona, Gladbach, Monaco, Shakhtar Donetsk, Liverpool, Lyon and Spurs.
Atalanta +1 Half Time Handicap
The only concern though is that Gian Piero Gasperini’s men are yet to win a single game in this competition thus far, as even Shakhtar got the better of them on home turf and so the outright doesn’t look the way to go.
However, we like the look of the first half handicap. The hosts have only gone in at the break down in two of their last nine outings, with one of those that defeat at the Etihad where they were the first side to strike anyway.
The Citizens on the other hand, have failed to cover the -1 goal handicap in the first half in four of their last five in the league, while in Europe alone this is a poor four from 15 trips under the Spanish manager.
The hosts posses a multitude of attacking talent and they should at least be able to take the game to Man City.
Moreover, the visitors will know they have an absolutely huge Premier League fixture with Liverpool coming up on Sunday afternoon, with them trailing the Reds by six points at the head of the table and so we may see some rotation.
Not to mention, nine points from their opening three matches in Group C of this competition will mean they won’t be too fussed by a stalemate on Wednesday night.
Atalanta +1 Half Time Handicap At 4/5
