Best Tip: Atalanta to win

The stands should be full at Veltins-Arena on Wednesday evening but, unfortunately, we predict the majority of those in attendance will be leaving the place 90 minutes later rather less happy than they arrived. The statistics below, including head-to-head (H2H) records and recent form, all point towards an away win in the win / draw / win market, with visitors Atalanta getting the better of hosts Shakhtar. An inquest will follow for home manager Marino Pusic but, in the meantime, we'd strongly recommend making the most of best bookie odds of 1.62 to back the away win.
