📰 Team News: Atalanta
Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Atalanta manager Gian Gasperini to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Giorgio Scalvini (Hamstring muscle injury) won’t play.
It seems likely that La Dea look set to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, handing starts to Juan Musso, Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, Sead Kolasinac, Davide Zappacosta, Matteo Ruggeri, Ederson, Marten de Roon, Aleksey Miranchuk, Teun Koopmeiners and Gianluca Scamacca.
🗞️ Team News: Liverpool
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has a number of players out of action. Thiago (Muscle injury), Rhys Williams (unknown injury), Conor Bradley (Ankle injury), Ben Doak (Meniscus tear) and Joel Matip (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out on this game.
We are inclined to think that The Reds seem likely to play in a 4-3-3 system by sending out Alisson Becker, T. Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz.
💭 Prediction
We’re of the view that Atalanta should be able to score a goal against this Liverpool side, however a single goal probably won’t be enough to avoid a loss.
We are therefore anticipating a narrow 1-2 advantage for Liverpool at the end of the match. Expecting it to be very competitive.
