Atalanta Preview – Can Atalanta record back-to-back wins?
A comprehensive 4-0 win away from home at Danish outfit, Midtjylland, gave Tuesday night’s Italian hosts, Atalanta, the perfect start to this season’s Champions League campaign and the hosts will no doubt be keen to maintain their top two position in Group D with Liverpool by recording another win here.
Defeats either side of last week’s Matchday 1 win though were disappointing at Atalanta slipped to back-to-back defeats in the Italian Serie A with losses incurred against Napoli 4-1 away from home and a 3-1 loss at home to Sampdoria.
Results in the Champions League though have been encouraging for Atalanta who have won five of their last six ties overall and two of their last three at home at their Gewiss Stadium with victories gained over Dinamo Zagreb and Valencia in 2-0 and 4-1 wins respectively, although they did lose to Liverpool last time out at home in this competition.
Ajax Preview – Can Ajax build on emphatic win?
Although they held supposed home advantage on Matchday 1 for their clash against Premier League side, Liverpool, Ajax suffered an opening defeat in Group D against the current domestic title-holders, and they now face a tough trip to Italy for this Matchday 2 clash away at Atalanta.
However, Ajax set the record straight on the weekend in the Dutch Eredivisie by recording a landslide 13-0 win away from home against VV Venlo who found themselves on the end of an emphatic backlash from the visitors.
Ajax will be hoping that they can record another away win here in this Champions League tie and the Dutch side bring a strong run of form away from home into this encounter having put together an impressive 15-match unbeaten run on the road in this competition.
