Atalanta vs Sturm Graz prediction, odds and betting offer As Atalanta ushered in the new year, their fortunes took a turn for the worse with their early victories in the Champions League's initial stages are a silver lining, given their current performance which could make upcoming matches more challenging to conquer.
They require two clear-cut victories and a hefty dose of luck - hoping their direct competitors fail to win any matches having picked up only one win and five defeats so far in the group stages.
The harsh reality is that Atalanta's victory column remains empty this year, despite participating in three Italian Serie A matches and a cup game.
La Dea is banking on their impressive home record to secure their spot in the tournament's next phase as they sit just two points from the top eight places in the group stage.
Inter, Napoli and Juventus have all tested Atalanta's mettle, and even their supposedly less challenging match against Udinese didn't result in a win.
