Man United vs Atalanta Predictions and Betting Tips

Following a string of poor results from Manchester United, they host Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League this Wednesday looking to put some smile on the Old Trafford faithful. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

This would be the first-ever continental meeting between both sides, however, we expect a humdinger of a game this Wednesday with both sides eyeing maximum points.

Big game for Solskjaer this Wednesday

Man United's early season form has all been forgotten given the team's terrible result of recent. Although they managed to get off the mark on Matchday two against Villareal- Ronaldo netting a 95th-minute winner-, they have managed just two wins in their last seven games in all competitions. Brendan Rodgers' Foxes proved to be too much for the Mancunians on Saturday as they condemned Ole to his second loss in three Premier League matches. Amidst all the bad news, however, Rashford's return to the side would certainly be a positive as the English winger netted in that 4-2 defeat at the King Power Stadium. Man United are currently in 3rd place on the standings and would need to make a huge statement against the side that tops the Group on Wednesday.

Slowly but surely, Atalanta seem to be getting back on their groove as they head to Old Trafford off the back of a 4-1 win in the Serie A. Ilicic- with two goals- and Zapata were on the scoresheet as Gasperini's side picked up yet another win in the league. Their 1-0 win at home against Young Boys puts them at the summit of the standings with four points from their first two games having picked up a solitary point in their first game group game against Villareal. A win here would certainly make them one of the favourites to league this group and with their opponents in trying times of late, they would certainly fancy their chances.
