Atalanta once offered the most exciting attacking football in Europe now plays a series of 0-0 or 1-1 draws and that's only if they even manage to get any points at all. This should come to an end on Wednesday at least with the persistent series of a few or no goals per games for the northern Italians. The fact is that Marseille has only kept a clean sheet in two of their last 24 Champions League games also reinforce my belief in a high-scoring game. Atalanta, who are already struggling at the moment, have so far failed to win any of their four away games against Ligue 1 teams. In the last few years Atalanta shared the points with Lyon and Marseille in the Europa League, but lost twice to PSG in the Champions League. Atalanta is the Champions League club with the most shots in the competition before this matchday. With a bit more luck and clinical finishing goals could be expected this time.
