Sturm vs Atalanta Prediction: Atalanta probably won't score much

Prediction for the UEFA Europa League Sturm vs Atalanta match which will take place on October 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

At the beginning of the group stage of the Europa League, the team from Graz showed that they could fight against opponents from stronger championships. In the first match, Sporting Austria crushed Sturm only in the end - 2:1. In the second round, Christian Ilzer's team realized the difference in class on the road against Rakow 1:0.

In the Austrian championship, after 11 rounds, Sturm leads the standings - 8 wins, no losses, and a goal difference of 20:7.

Since the middle of last season, Atalanta has started to change the style of play, gradually transforming the team from a highly pressing into one of the most pragmatic in Italy. After nine rounds of the new Serie A season, Atalanta have conceded only eight goals - only Juventus and Inter have better results in this segment.

Atalanta is one of the best defensive teams in the Italian league. In the Europa League, Sturm will likely find it challenging to open up Atalanta's defense, and it is unlikely that the Austrian team will be able to do so more than once. At the same time, the Austrians also have quality in the back, and Atalanta probably won't score much, either.
