Literally in every aspect Atalanta are superior to their opponent. The hosts have a much better squad, fully in line with the ideas of head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who has been in charge of the team for more than eight years. In the last round of the Champions League, Celtic got seven goals from Borussia Dortmund, but it won’t be any easier to cope with the formidable Bergamaschi attack. The Nerazzurri have scored as many as 10 goals in their last three official games.
The Celtics are still not ready to compete with the strongest clubs in Europe, especially on a foreign field. That was proven in the Champions League match at Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund simply destroyed them at home. Celtic quickly equalized after conceding a penalty goal, but then conceded six more goals.
