The UEFA Champions League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Atalanta play host to Slavia Prague at the Gewiss Stadium on Wednesday. Ivan Juric’s men head into the midweek clash unbeaten in five straight matches and will be looking to extend this impressive run.
Atalanta were guilty of a wasteful display in front of goal at the weekend as they played out a goalless draw with Lazio after squandering several clear-cut chances at the Gewiss Stadium.
While Juric’s men have played out three consecutive stalemates in Serie A, they remain unbeaten in their seven league matches this season, claiming two wins and seven draws so far.
Atalanta now turn their focus to the Champions League, where they fell to a 4-0 opening-day hammering against reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain on September 17, one week before bouncing back in a 2-1 victory over Club Brugge on home turf.

Jindřich Trpišovsky’s men were outclassed and outplayed by Inter Milan on matchday two when they fell to a 3-0 defeat against the Italian powerhouse at San Siro.
Like Atalanta, Slavia Prague head into Wednesday’s tie off the back of a goalless draw against Zlin in the Czech First League, where they currently sit second in the table with 26 points from 12 games.
