La Dea made a flying start to the European journey, and are only expected to build on their last week’s resounding victory.
Atalanta will welcome Ajax at the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia on Tuesday night in what has the potential to be an exciting and high-scoring Champions League fixture.
The hosts will be in search of a second successive victory in the competition so as to put them in early charge of Group D, but it will not be easy by any means as they face a team with a quite rich continental pedigree.
Atalanta vs Ajax Form:
The Italian outfit kickstarted their European journey in an emphatic fashion, overpowering Danish debutants Midtjylland 4-0 to pick up all three points.
Domestically, they have been sharp as well as they have registered three wins in five league games. Firepower is present in abundance in their team, evident from the fact that they have scored three goals every match on average in Serie A so far.
The Dutch champions failed to grab even a single point in their Champion League opener, suffering a 1-0 loss to Liverpool. However, in terms of form, they are on par, perhaps even better, with their upcoming opponents.
Sitting atop the league table, the Eredivisie side have won each of their league matches bar one. They boast an impressive attacking prowess as well which was on full display in the historic 13-0 dismantling of VVV in their previous outing.
Atalanta vs Ajax Head-to-head:
The two teams have never faced each other in an official match.
Atalanta vs Ajax Team News:
Goalkeepers Marco Carnesecchi and Pierluigi Gollini and Defenders Mattia Caldara and Cristiano Piccini will be missing for the hosts.
Mohammed Kudus is expected to remain sidelined for the remainder of the year and will therefore be unavailable for selection for the visitors.
