Both Atalanta and Slavia Prague sit in the lower echelons of the league phase table of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) after matchday two, with the Czech side still winless.
Match News and Current Form
Although Atalanta can lay claim to being unbeaten in five games in all competitions (W2, D3), three successive domestic stalemates, including against Lazio on Sunday, have held them back in Serie A. They managed to go one better in their last UCL outing by beating Club Brugge 2-1 at home, affording them the chance to win successive home games in this competition proper for only the second time in history. A mere three wins from their last 14 main-draw UCL home games (D5, L6) would suggest that making history will be tricky, as does a poor run of just one win from their last five Wednesday-held UCL games (D2, L2), losing each of the last two.
Slavia Prague are now three games without a win (D2, L1) after being held to a 0-0 draw by Zlin in the Chance Liga over the weekend. A 3-0 away defeat to Inter Milan on matchday two sparked that run, and the Czech giants will hardly be glad to be returning to UCL action given they’re winless in their last 13 main-draw games in the competition (D5, L8). You’d have to go all the way back to September 2007 for their last such victory, and having won none of their last nine matches in any major European competition (D3, L6), they could equal an unwanted club record here.
Head-to-Head History
This will be a first-ever H2H between these sides. Slavia lost on Italian soil on matchday two, which stretched their torrid away run to Italian opposition to nine defeats from ten away games (D1).

Key Players to Watch and Missing Players
After scoring on matchday two, Mario Pasalić is now Atalanta’s all-time leading UCL scorer with eight goals, with three of his four home strikes therein arriving after half-time. Muhammed Cham is yet to open his Slavia account, and if it’s to come here he may have to be patient as his last five club goals arrived after the break.
Atalanta have no fresh injury concerns after the weekend, while Slavia’s lengthy injury list could stretch into double figures.
