Atalanta kick-off their Champions League campaign with a trip to French capital, as Ivan Juric’s side face the current champions, PSG, on September 17th and you can find our full preview, prediction, possible lineups and betting tips below.<\/b><\/p>\nPSG vs Atalanta\u00a0Preview<\/b><\/h2>\n
Luis Enrique’s side made history in the UEFA Champions League last season, as PSG won Europe’s biggest prize for the first time in history after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the final.<\/p>\n
This was the biggest margin of victory for a UCL final and the French side are now looking to retain their title, but come into this match with a host of injury concerns.<\/p>\n
Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue returned from international duty with fresh injury concerns, meaning the French duo were absent during PSG’s 2-0 win over Lens on September 14th.<\/p>\n
Enrique’s attacking lineup suffered another blow during the victory, as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was forced off after just 30 minutes and will join Dembele and Doue on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
Despite these concerns, PSG have made a superb start to the 2025\/26 season, picking up the UEFA Supercup against Spurs and winning all four of their Ligue 1 matches so far.<\/p>\n
PSG will be looking to bring this league form into Europe as they welcome Atalanta, as Ivan Juric takes charge of his first Champions League fixture as La Dea boss.<\/p>\n
The 2024 Europa League champions have made a steady start under Juric in Serie A so far, drawing the opening two matches before picking up a 4-1 victory over Lecce last time out.<\/p>\n
Giorgio Scalvini and Nicola Zalewski scored their first goal of the season, while Charles De Ketelaere opened his account with a brace and is helping fill the current hole left by Ademola Lookman.<\/p>\n
The Nigerian international has returned to training after going on strike during the summer transfer window, but is reportedly unlikely to feature against PSG.<\/p>\n
PSG:<\/strong> Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Mbaye, Ramos, Barcola<\/p>\n Atalanta:<\/strong> Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, Djimsiti; Bellanova, De Roon, Pasalic, Zalewski; De Ketelaere, Maldini; Krstovic<\/p>\n These two sides have only faced off on one occasion in the Champions League, as PSG picked up a 2-1 win over the Italian side during the 2019\/20 quarter-finals.<\/p>\n Both PSG and Atalanta have seen major improvements since then, but the Ligue 1 giants come into this match without a single member of their regular front three.<\/p>\n Despite this, we expect Luis Enrique’s side to have enough quality to pick up a comfortable win on the opening day and PSG should use their home advantage to win by two clear goals.<\/p>\n Prediction: PSG 2-0 Atalanta<\/b><\/p>\n Prior to their 4-1 victory over Lecce, Atalanta had been involved in consecutive 1-1 stalemates in Serie A and looked to be lacking a killer instinct in front of goal.<\/p>\n PSG have kept three clean sheets from their opening four matches, with their only failure coming in a crazy 6-3 victory over Toulouse and the Ligue 1 giants conceded just one goal from the two semi-finals and final last season.<\/p>\n Unbeaten Juventus take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and the Bianconeri have conceded as many goals as Atalanta, while scoring just one more – meaning La Dea are firing at a strong level.<\/p>\n Despite this, we believe that the PSG defense will have enough quality to thwart the Atalanta front-line, which could be without Ademola Lookman and Gianluca Scamacca.<\/p>\n The post PSG vs Atalanta Preview, Prediction, Possible Lineups and Betting Tips appeared first on FootItalia.com.<\/p>\nPSG vs Atalanta Prediction<\/b><\/h2>\n
