Liverpool – Atalanta: bookmaker odds
It’s hard to imagine that Atalanta Gasperini won’t make it out of the Champions League group after last season’s phenomenal. But now it’s all because the Bergamasks will be the third extra team in Quartet D. Especially if they lose at Anfield.
The Goddess coach continues to assure everyone that his team has not failed compared to the previous season, and the latest setbacks are the consequence of a more difficult schedule (minimum holidays and preseason, many international breaks). Gasp said that in the match with Serie A newcomer “Spice” (0: 0), his team did everything right and created a lot of scoring chances. I just had no luck.
To all this is added the bad form of Josip Ilicic and a series of injuries. Goalkeeper Gollini recently recovered from his injury, missing a few games from left-back Gosens. Now Ruslan Malinovsky has also retired due to the coronavirus.
In my opinion, the criticism of Atalanta is really inappropriate. But it will be very difficult for the team to get out of this situation and reach the Champions League playoffs.
Liverpool-Atalanta: indicative alignments
Some media saw “Atalanta” “faded” in the match with “Spice” and were quick to blame everything on the rotation of the Gasperini name. Goddess’s coach ridiculed this statement because he just doesn’t have an ideal starting lineup: “I choose the best lineup from the available players at this particular time.” And this is absolutely true.
Now only Caldara, Depaoli and Pashalich are in the infirmary of the Italian team. Gosens, De Roon and Palomino are available. This means that the 0-5 at home at Anfield should not be repeated: in Bergamo, team leaders Gosens and De Roon were unavailable.
Mohammed Salah has recovered from the coronavirus and will be ready to participate in this meeting. Roberto Firmino did not train on Tuesday due to injury, but he recovered and will be ready to play on Wednesday.
Thus, only Van Dyke, Gomez, Trent, Henderson, Alcantara, Shaqiri and Keita remain injured on the Liverpool field.
“Liverpool” – “Atalanta”: the author’s forecast
Early qualification for the next round of the Champions League will allow Jurgen Klopp to rest some of the main team players in the last two matches of the group round. We all know that the German specialist is a great critic of the calendar this season. Klopp constantly complains about the insufficient amount of tactical training, because the matches are replaced one after another, and the coaching staff spends all the free time between them mainly to the recovery of players.
“Liverpool” will do it, but the defeat is not worth it. “Atalanta” will seem more efficient than in Bergamo.
