We head to Italy to watch one of the Champions League round of 16 matches. It's an uneven matchup as we have a title contender in this fixture: Bayern Munich. Away at Atalanta Bergamo, the Germans will try to take the lead after the first 90 minutes. The goal is to avoid a difficult return to the Allianz Arena. Our experts don't see the German champions losing at the end of regulation time, especially given the apparent gap in quality at this stage of the competition.
However, caution is advised in underestimating Atalanta, who are capable of putting in a strong performance at the New Balance Arena, which is set to host the biggest night of the season. To assert their status as favorites, the visitors need to make their mark at this stage of the competition. Will logic prevail on Tuesday evening? We'll find out when the whistle blows!

Atalanta - Bayern Munich: Form Analysis
Atalanta has had a turbulent run-up to the game. This is their most important European match of the season, kicking off with three games without a win in March. A total of two draws (Udinese, Lazio Rome) and a narrow defeat at Sassuolo. The most worrying thing for Raffaele Palladino and his team? An average of two goals conceded every 270 minutes. If the Bergamaschi don't fix this problem, they could be in for a beating!
Atalanta have looked out of ideas in recent weeks.
Bayern Munich wants to send a strong message to Italy on Tuesday. Since their defeat against Augsburg at the end of January, Vincent Kompany's men have been on a roll in all competitions. The Bavarians travel to Italy with seven wins in eight games and three or more goals scored in that run. If they continue in the same vein as last week against Monchengladbach (4-1), the evening should end on a positive note, even on Italian soil.

Atalanta & Bayern Munich Squad Analysis
The striker to watch on the Italian side? Gianluca Scamacca, who recently scored in Serie A against Udinese. He will be able to rely on a player who has proven decisive in big games: Lazar Samardzic, who scored against Napoli and Dortmund in the space of three days. By capitalizing on their current strengths, Atalanta can hope to upset Bayern Munich, as they did in the return leg against Dortmund.
Once again, many players in the Bavarian team could make the difference.
Harry Kane, who was rested last weekend, has scored 11 times in his previous seven appearances. If he fails to find the net, he can count on Jackson, who scored last weekend. With the support of Diaz, Musiala, Karl, and Olise, Munich are likely to enjoy a successful evening.
