Match Previews

Atalanta, known for their tactical flexibility under Gian Piero Gasperini, are likely to adopt a balanced 3-4-2-1 setup, focusing on compactness and transitions. Their challenge will be turning possession into clear scoring chances, given their recent offensive inefficiency.

Manchester City currently sit 7th in the Champions League standings with 7 points. The team is in excellent recent form — 7 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 loss in their last 10 matches. Offensively, City are firing on all cylinders, with their home performances being particularly dominant.

For Urazbakhtin’s squad, facing Inter at San Siro represents the pinnacle of their journey — a reward for years of persistence and growth.

The two clubs last met in the Europa League semi-finals in 2024. Back then, Atalanta triumphed 4-1 on aggregate — earning a 1-1 draw in Marseille and a convincing 3-0 win at home. That result will surely be fresh in the minds of Marseille’s players, who will be eager to exact revenge on home soil.

The sides have met before, back in 2017, when Chelsea dominated both fixtures with an aggregate score of 10-0. However, this is a very different Qarabag—stronger, more experienced, and much harder to beat on home soil.

On November 5, 2025, the Champions League main stage continues with a fascinating matchup between Pafos and Villarreal.

Dominant Interior: Holmgren averaged 9 blocks in the last 3 games, with rim protection efficiency at 78% (3rd in the league). Alongside Josh Harttenshine (12 PPG, 10 RPG), the Thunder hold a significant rebounding advantage against the Clippers’ single-center setup.

The Asian Handicap 0.0 on Liverpool offers a safety net if the game ends in a draw. At odds of -122, backing the Reds to beat Real Madrid is a confident play given current form and home advantage.

Given both teams’ attacking output and defensive inconsistency, the Over 2.5 Goals market also holds strong appeal. Napoli average 1.4 goals per game, while Eintracht average 2.2 – suggesting a lively, open match.

Both teams approach this match with tactical discipline — Slavia are organized and rarely concede at home, while Arsenal often manage matches cautiously when away in Europe.

Form Comparison: Liverpool’s injuries and inconsistent results contrast with Real Madrid’s dominant streak; visitors have a clear form advantage.

Form Comparison: Juventus shows home resilience but European struggles persist; Sporting CP is in superior form overall, with excellent away record.
