Atalanta vs Olympiacos live stream – Having dropped out of the Champions League group stages, will Atalanta now enjoy a deep run in the second-tier European competition?
La Dea competed in a third consecutive Champions League group phase this season but, this time, finished third, ousted by Manchester United and Villarreal.
Now, the side who reached the Cup Winners’ Cup semis in 1988 and UEFA Cup quarters three years later are aiming for a similarly lengthy run.
At the weekend, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side came agonisingly close to a famous, and vital, victory over Juventus.
Ruslan Malinovskyi’s absolute rocket opened the scoring on Sunday night, only for la Vecchia Signora to equalise from a corner in stoppage time.
This actually means Atalanta are now winless in five in league and cup, meaning they sit fifth in Serie A, two points below Juve.
Olympiacos meanwhile have completely monopolised the Greek Super League, winning the title in 21 of the last 25 seasons, including the last two.
Right now, they’re nine points clear at the top again, and are still unbeaten domestically, after Sunday’s 1-0 victory over third-placed AEK Athens.
Thus, Pedro Martins’ team are under pressure to deliver in continental competition.
Back in August, Olympiacos crashed out of Champions League qualifying against Ludogorets Razgrad, losing a penalty shootout in Bulgaria.
But, they recovered and finished second in their Europa League group, below Eintracht Frankfurt but above Fenerbahçe and Royal Antwerp.
So, for the ninth successive season, they’re competing in the Europa League knockouts, but haven’t got past the round of 16 in any European competition this century.
Will Atalanta establish a first leg advantage at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia?
Atalanta team news
Gian Piero Gasperini is without some key players for this one, namely centre-back José Luis Palomino and, probably, his two best attackers.
Josip Iličić is on compassionate leave while Duván Zapata is out with a long-term hamstring injury.
In goal at least Juan Musso will return after missing the Juventus game suspended.
Without Palomino, Berat Gjimshiti will start at the heart of the back three.
Midfielder Marten de Roon has to be careful because a yellow card in this one would see him miss the second leg in Piraeus.
January signing from Sassuolo Jérémie Boga will form part of a front three alongside Ruslan Malinovskyi and Luis Muriel.
Olympiacos team news
The most eye-catching team news for Olympiacos is that four players would miss the second leg if booked in Bergamo.
They are: Ousseynou Ba, Pape Abou Cissé, new signing from Napoli Kostas Manolas and key attacker Tiquinho Soares.
Garry Rodrigues is also a notable absentee as he is out with a long-term injury.
Some familiar faces are Czech goalkeeper Tomáš Vaclík, former Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos and French winger Mathieu Valbuena.
Yann M’Vila will be the midfield linchpin; he scored the late winner in Sunday’s big game against AEK Athens.
In attack, Youssef El-Arabi has scored an impressive 16 goals in UEFA competition since joining the Greek champions from Al-Duhail in 2019.
