Atalanta vs Arsenal prediction as the gunners travels away from the Emirates. Arsenal will begin this season’s Champions League journey as they head to Bergamo to play Atalanta on Thursday evening.

Last season, Mikel Arteta’s side made it to the quarter finals whereas Atalanta defeated Bauer Leverkusen in the Europa League final. The Italian side will begin their journey in a tough game as they host the gunners. Guan Piero Gasperini’s side will be aiming to beat the gunners on their home grounds.

Atalanta have qualified for the Champions League three times in a row (2019-2022). The Italian side have had the opportunity to play against English teams in those three years. After heating Tottenham in the North London derby last weekend, the gunners will be aiming to make a statement on Thursday night.
