Champions League: Atalanta vs. Chelsea – probable line-ups, where to watch on TV
Gianluca Scamacca is expected to lead the Atalanta attack tonight as La Dea host Chelsea in the Champions League Round 6.
It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. It’s Round 6 in the league phase of the Champions League.
Kamaldeen Sulemana and Mitchel Bakker are the only unavailable players for La Dea, who host Chelsea on the back of a 3-1 away loss at Hellas Verona, who secured their first Serie A win this past weekend.
Several Italian sources, including Sky Sport Italia, claim that Scamacca, Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere will start for La Dea up front.
Former Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac competes for a starting spot with Odilon Kossounou, and Davide Zappacosta is favourite over Nicola Zalewski for a starting spot on the left flank.
Atalanta may have only earned 16 points in the opening 14 games of the season in Serie A, losing four of the last five matches, but their results in the Champions League have been far more consistent, with 10 points in five outings, the same as Chelsea’s, where they collected three wins, one loss and one draw.
