Champions League: Young Boys vs Atalanta – Probable line-ups and where to watch | OneFootball

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini could opt for a very offensive formation to push his side to their third Champions League win as they visit Young Boys on Tuesday.

It kicks off at 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at the Stadion Wankdorf in Bern.

La Dea are still unbeaten in the competition and sit just one point behind the top eight in the standings, but could further improve their position by taking advantage of their clash against one of the most struggling sides, as the Swiss outfit lost all of their four European games played so far.

To do that, the Nerazzurri coach could consider starting Charles De Ketelaere in a trident alongside forwards Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman.

Mario Pasalic should be moved to a deeper position to replace the suspended Ederson as a central midfielder alongside Marten De Roon, while Sead Kolasinac is expected to return to the starting XI and compose the defensive trio with Odilon Kossounou and Isak Hien.

Gasperini’s rotations should be very limited, as Raoul Bellanova and Matteo Ruggeri are also set to be confirmed as wing-backs after starting in their side’s 3-1 win over Parma last weekend.
