Atalanta have travelled to Germany without the injured Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori, so they are short of options in attack.

Italy international Scamacca started the last two Serie A games on the bench, but is expected to return to the Atalanta XI tonight.

Nicola Zalewski will be one of the two attacking midfielders for La Dea, while the other spot will be taken by Lazar Samardzic or Mario Pasalic, who is the favourite to get the nod, according to Gazzetta and Tuttosport.

Davide Zappacosta will start as a right midfielder for Atalanta, while Lorenzo Bernasconi will play on the opposite flank.
