Atalanta will face Arsenal in their first match, not Liverpool. However, the chances of Atalanta winning against Arsenal are very low. But the problem is that the Atalanta team often surprises us by performing well.
Atalanta played last match in Serie A against Inter Milan. Atalanta suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat in the match. The team could not score a single goal. Their overall performance was very poor. This is the first time this season that Atalanta have faced a big team and they have played very poorly. Therefore, we think that the chances of Atalanta winning against Arsenal in the Champions League match are low.
Liverpool will play against Milan in the first match of the Champions League. Milan played very well in the pre-season matches. But the team could not win even one of the first three matches in Serie A. On the other hand, Liverpool dominated and won the first three matches of the Premier League. Therefore, Premier League team Liverpool is considered as favorite in this match as well.
Atalanta performance is somehow on and off, though I'm not used to watching their games but I've watched some, I think they started dropping drastically since July . Arsenal on the other hand also fumble sometimes but they do perform well most times though they had a draw recently in one of their games and if we should compare performance with that of Atalanta then I must agree with you that it shouldn't be a stress for Arsenal (so far Atalanta is still on their off
)
