Atalanta appear to have regained confidence after an impressive performance in their previous match. Leading the attack, Charles De Ketelaere made a vital return last game, creating one scoring opportunity and showing signs of his regained speed. 

Alongside him, Gianluca Scamacca complements the frontline, while Ademola Lookman has already emerged as a key player, receiving 7 passes that led to shots. In midfield, Yunus Musah, with 2 progression passes, has showcased excellent vision, and Teun Koopmeiners has also shown growth in this area. 

Marten de Roon, with 9 passes leading to chances, adds extra pace and pressure, helping build the attack effectively. Defensively, the backline is anchored by Isak Hein, with 2 blocks, and Berat Djimsiti, providing crucial support for goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi.

SK Slavia Prague Preview

Slavia Praha are in desperate need of a turnaround, having struggled in their last few matches. Tomas Chory, with 7 passes leading to shots, will be crucial in building momentum and using his speed to get close to goal, creating opportunities for the midfield to feed him. 

With Mojmir Chytil continuing to disappoint, Youssoupha Mboji has gradually taken over his role, scoring two goals in as many matches. Midfielder Christos Zafeiris, with 12 progression passes, has demonstrated excellent accuracy in moving the ball into open spaces. 

Alongside Lukas Provod, he is forming an effective one-two combination, while another midfielder has already contributed two assists.  With Michael Sadílek receiving 7 key passes, the defensive duo of Jan Bořil and Tomáš Holes, with 2 clearances, will need to perform at their best to protect goalkeeper Jindřich Staněk.
