Shakhtar Donetsk vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

 by Nella Wagah in Champions League Predictions

Shakhtar Donetsk will play their first home match of the new Champions League formation in Germany, hosting Atalanta. Owing instability back at home, Hirnyky have to play home matches away from Lviv and this term, La Dea will be their first visitors. Here’s our preview and prediction of the match slated for Wednesday 2nd October.

Playing home matches across Europe has for the past few years been the norm for Shakhtar. They’ve played in Poland and Germany before, a total of six matches, in which they won twice then drew and lost as many.

As the Ukrainians look to do better at this stage, having struggled a bit in the league/group stage Atalanta have already tasted European glory. The Italians came into the 2024/25 campaign on a huge profile having won the Europa League title last season. Like Shakhtar Donetsk, they also started their Champions League journey with a draw, though theirs was down to missing big chances.

Shakhtar Donetsk - Atalanta: Form Analysis

Shakhtar Donetsk have missed just one of the last 19 Champions League group/league phases. Their start to this one was against Italian opposition, drawing 0-0 with Bologna.

Marino Pusic’s side is coming into this game off the back of four undefeated matches. The most recent of them was a 1-1 draw with Veres Rivne in the Ukrainian league.

That run, they will hope steers them to do better in this first phase of the Champions League. They have exited at the group stage in each of the last six seasons in this competition.

There will be some hope in the run up to this game given Shakhtar have only lost once in five when hosting a European game.

Shakhtar have one loss in five Champions League home matches. Atalanta have none in six.

Atalanta, like Shakhtar are also going for a first win in this season’s competition. They drew 0-0 at home to Arsenal, in a game the Italians missed a penalty.

That was just one of their struggles in the current campaign. Atalanta are a shell of the team that won the Europa League last season. This term, in eight matches, they’ve already suffered four defeats.

Two of their matches were in Europe and they didn’t even score. Right ahead of this game, Atalanta drew 1-1 with Bologna, registering their third straight winless outing.

In the Champions League, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side has no win in five matches.

Atalanta

Shakhtar Donetsk & Atalanta Squad Analysis

Both Atalanta and Shakhtar missed penalties in their opening matches. Heorhii Sudakov missed an early one in Shakhtar’s game against Bologna.

However, he has scored in the two matches that followed and will be confident of extending that here. Artem Bondarenko will be another one to watch here, having netted four times in the last four matches.

With three goals this season, Atalanta will also be wary of Danylo Sikan, who could return after a nasal injury suffered against Bologna.

Sudakov and Retegui missed Match Day 1 penalties and will be looking to make amends.

Matteo Retegui, the man who missed a penalty against Arsenal on Match Day 1 could make a return here. He started from the bench in the weekend match against Bologna.

Substitute Lazar Samardzic scored a stoppage time equalizer to save Atalanta from defeat and with that, could have secured a starting berth.

Ademola Lookman, the Europa League hero has had a silent start to the season but his two goals so far mean he will still be relied upon in attack.

Shakhtar Donetsk - Atalanta Key Points

  1. Atalanta have four losses in their eight matches so far this season.
  2. Shakhtar Donetsk lost once in the last 12 matches they played as hosts.
  3. In five matches in Europe, Shakhtar Donetsk lost just once when hosting.
