Atalanta v Villarreal Match Preview
Currently second in the Group standings, last year’s Europa League winners Villarreal will be hoping to ensure that they get the job done against Atalanta who are in third place but only a point behind them. La Dea on the other hand, know that they need to win this game if they hope to qualify for the next round of the competition.
The Italians have managed just one win in their Champions League campaign so far. The Italians must be kicking themselves for being held to a 3-3 draw by Young Boys in Switzerland last time out. The Bergamo side have been great in Serie A and are on a five-game unbeaten run there.
Gian Piero Gasperini would be hoping to see his team go through to the next round of the competition for the third time.
However, Villarreal will not be an easy team to beat. The Yellow Submarine has played some amazing football this season and have won two games. Unai Emery’s side lost 2-0 to Manchester United in their last Champions League outing but the former Arsenal manager would be confident in his side’s chances of getting the job done in Italy.
