Match Preview
Atalanta, after an impressive Europa League win last season, has struggled in the new season, with two wins and three losses from five games. They faced tough defeats against Real Madrid in the European Super Cup (0-2) and Inter in Serie A (0-4), where they had little chance.Still, the team will face Arsenal in high spirits after a 3-2 victory over Fiorentina last weekend. Ademola Lookman secured the win with a crucial goal, and all the action happened in the first half.

Arsenal has had a nearly perfect start to the season, with the only slip being a 1-1 draw against Brighton. That game saw them play the second half with ten men due to a questionable call from the referee. Aside from that, Mikel Arteta’s team won their other three games, all without conceding a goal.The highlight so far has been their win in the North London Derby, where Gabriel scored the decisive goal from a corner. Arsenal has been strong on set pieces, but their overall play has been more cautious than last season. Some believe this more practical style might be what they need to finally overtake Manchester City in the Premier League. It’ll be interesting to see if they continue this approach in the Champions League.

Goaloo Prediction
Arsenal will likely be focused on their upcoming game against Manchester City, which kicks off the title race. This might lead Arteta to rotate his squad, which could work in favor of Gasperini’s team. Atalanta, with an easier match against Como this weekend, will likely give their best effort in this game. Given these factors, a draw, such as 1-1, is a real possibility.The match at Gewiss Stadium is not expected to be high-scoring. Arsenal will play cautiously, keeping their next game in mind. So, betting on fewer than 3 total goals seems like a sensible choice.
