Atalanta-Celtic, the probable formations

After defeating Shakhtar Donetsk with a peremptory 0-3 away win, Atalanta rediscovers the Champions League atmosphere and will face Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic. Kickoff at the Gewiss Stadium at 6:45 p.m. On the one hand, Gian Piero Gasperini&#39s men will try to further improve their European ranking after the draw with Arsenal and the success against the Ukrainians, while the Scots, on the other hand, are called upon to redeem the heavy loss they suffered against Borussia Dortmund by 7-1.

Gasperini is expected to confirm Retegui at the center of the attack. On the three-quarter è three-way fight for two places between De Ketelaere, Samardzic and Lookman, with the latter favored. In the midfield, Ederson and Pasalic are confirmed, with Bellanova and Ruggeri on the side lanes. Rodgers, on the other hand, should rely on the offensive trident consisting of Kuhn, Furuhashi and Maeda. In the middle of the field, trust Engels, McGregor and Hatate.
