It has been one other impressive Serie A season for Atalanta, who completed third for the second year in a row and scored a whopping 98 objectives – 17 more than nearest challengers Inter Milan.

La Dea (‘The Goddess’) have gained 15 of their last 20 matches in all competitions, a run that started with a 7-0 win away to Torino. They are unbeaten of their last 10 away outings, choosing up seven wins throughout this run and scoring 30 targets.

PSG’s type also makes for good studying as they’ve won 25 of their final 31 aggressive matches, while they have solely suffered one defeat in their eight Champions League games this season.

Goal bonanza on the cards

Although the knockout rounds can often bring tight, scrappy affairs, Wednesday’s contest might be nothing of the kind and a objective bonanza might be witnessed in Lisbon.

Neymar to shine in spotlight

A lot of pressure might be on the shoulders of Brazil striker Neymar, especially if Kylian Mbappé doesn’t recover in time for the conflict, however this is the type of scenario that the PSG celebrity lives for.

Having missed much of his side’s incursions into the Champions League’s knockout rounds by way of harm in each of the previous two campaigns he’ll surely relish this opportunity to showcase his expertise.

With Neymar carrying arguably the greatest threat of any participant on this game, the worth of 13/10 for the forward to score at any time can’t be handed up.

Atalanta group news

Atalanta will be with out at least two gamers who would usually start, with common goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini injured and Josip Ilicic, considered one of their chief sources of goals this season, still absent for personal causes. 

Another of Atalanta’s most potent objective threats, Luis Muriel, found himself among the many substitutes all through July so Duvan Zapata is prone to be flanked by Ruslan Malinovskiy and Alejandro Gomez.

Atalanta predicted line-up (3-4-2-1): Sportiello; Palomino, Tolói, Djimsiti; Hateboer, de Roon, Freuler, Gosens; A Gómez, Malinovskyi; Zapata.

PSG predicted line-up (4-3-3): Navas; Kehrer, Thiago Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat; Herrera, Marquinhos, Gueye; Sarabia, Icardi, Neymar.
