The odds for the match at the New Balance Arena: the Nerazzurri coming off the defeat against Verona
Perhaps the best way to trigger a reaction after the very heavy defeat in Verona is to try to treat yourself to a gala night, against the world champions. Atalanta challenges Chelsea on the 6th day of the Champions League with the aim of surprising Maresca’s team, which is clearly better equipped to move forward in the tournament. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Atalanta-Chelsea, scheduled for Tuesday 9 December at 9pm.
ATALANTA-CHELSEA PREDICTION ODDS
—
At the start of the season, Atalanta has performed better in the Champions League than in the league: with 10 points scored in the first 5 matches, the Dea is in full swing for a place in the round of 16 or – at least – to get back into the playoff round. The clear 3-1 suffered in Verona, however, is certainly not the easiest way to approach the match against Chelsea, fresh from the clear 3-0 against Barcelona in the last round, but who have struggled in the Premier League in the last three games (2 draws and a knockout).
While waiting to understand if – after the convincing 3-0 in Frankfurt – Palladino will be able to give himself another magical night in the footsteps of his master Gasperini, it is better to play it safe and count the goals: with the change on the bench the Goddess seems to have found her coolness in front of goal, a skill that Chelsea has never lacked. This is why the Over 2.5 at 1.73 on Bet365 and 1.65 on Snai, Netwin and StarCasinò seems like a bet not to be underestimated.
CHELSEA, TABOO AWAY
—
Maresca’s team is favorite for the match in Bergamo, with the score 2 worth between 2.10 and 2.16, against the draw at 3.60 and Atalanta’s success valued between 3.50 and 3.60. On the goals front, operators expect a challenge from Goal, on the board at 1.58 and clearly favored compared to No Gol which reaches 2.35. It will be the first ever meeting between the two teams: the last match played in Italy by Chelsea dates back to 2022, against Milan (2-0 victory). This year, however, the Blues have not won any of the four Champions League away games (1 draw and 3 defeats): numbers that give Palladino confidence, with the double chance 1z worth between 1.66 and 1.71.
