Fortunately for coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up and won Manchester Utd the game. Is La Dea planning to take revenge? Find out with our newest Champions League betting tips.
Atalanta vs Manchester United Recent Form
Manchester United leads Group F of the 2021/22 Champions League season after three games played. They have recorded two wins and a single loss. The surprise loss versus Young Boys (2:1) at the opening of the competition was nullified with two consecutive wins against Villarreal (2:1) and Atalanta (3:2). Even though the Red Devils are leading Group F, they haven’t played as convincingly as one would expect.
Atalanta currently finds themselves at the third spot of Group F. With a win (1:0 vs Young Boys) a draw (2:2 vs Villarreal) and a loss (3:2 vs Manchester United). La Dea is tied on points with Villarreal. However, their 0 goal average is what separates them from the Spanish side.
