Overview.
Eight goals in three competitive matches was Atalanta’s answer to their 4-0 loss vs Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League (CL) Group C opener. That was just a second blank in 15 competitive matches for Atalanta. Furthermore, this sequence saw them score at least twice in 12 games, with nearly half (seven of 15) producing over 3.5 total match goals. However, Atalanta’s last three continental games (including qualifiers) have seen them draw a blank. Furthermore, in six of their last ten competitive games at the San Siro (their ‘home’ for CL games) Atalanta have failed to score. Additionally, eight matches during this run produced under 2.5 total match goals.
Shakhtar started their CL engagements with a home loss to Manchester City, making it four losses in eight CL games. It gets worse on the road, with eight losses in Shakhtar’s last 11 CL away games (W2, D1, L8). Furthermore, Shakhtar have failed to score in eight games during this run. The ‘Pitmen’ haven’t enjoyed travelling to Italy either, losing on eight of their 11 visits. Their lone win came in February 2011, with Shakhtar also conceding nine goals in three visits to the San Siro.
