- 亚特兰大在过去的七场主场比赛中赢了六场
- 阿森纳上赛季在五场欧冠客场比赛中只赢了一场,输了三场
- La Dea的最后七场比赛已经超过2.5个进球
阿森纳希望在德比胜利的基础上再接再厉
尽管有许多大牌球员缺席,但阿森纳周日在托特纳姆热刺体育场以1比0击败了他们的死敌马刺队,德比日胜利带来的势头应该有助于他们在前往意大利的艰难之旅之前取得胜利。
枪手周四将前往贝加莫迎战欧联冠军亚特兰大,在加布里埃尔在北伦敦德比中获胜后,他们将充满动力。
米克尔·阿尔特塔的球队在德比战中没有首选中场德克兰·赖斯、马丁·奥德加德和米克尔·梅里诺,但这位西班牙人通过从疲惫的枪手那里获得精英防守表现,展示了他的执教血统,这种韧性本赛季在欧洲应该对他们有很好的帮助。
在贝加莫,东道主很难被击败
然而,亚特兰大自己在周日也挖得很深,从后面以3比2击败佛罗伦萨,他们可能需要在阿森纳队的防守下再次下定决心,阿森纳队有防守队员来挫败对手,有进攻队员来伤害他们。
枪手可以被认为是欧洲的精英之一,他们连续几个赛季与巨人曼城队争夺英超冠军,鉴于亚特兰大队在上一场比赛中以4比0输给了意甲冠军国际米兰队,一些人可能会预计他们将在周四挣扎。
但上赛季,La Dea在赢得欧洲联赛冠军时表现出色,尤其是在决赛中以3比0击败了之前不败的勒沃库森,他们的主场状态已经有一段时间了。
亚特兰大在过去的七场主场比赛中赢了六场,这一记录应该会让他们在上赛季对阵一支在欧洲之旅中苦苦挣扎的球队的比赛之前处于有利地位。
Lookman可能会吸引眼球
上赛季,枪手在五场欧冠客场比赛中只赢了一场,其中包括在朗斯、波尔图和拜仁慕尼黑的失利,这表明这次贝加莫之旅可能并不像一些人预期的那么简单。
欧联杯胜利的经验将使他们在这场冲突之前保持动力,而奥迪隆·科苏诺、胡安·夸德拉多和拉乌尔·贝兰诺娃的聪明补充意味着他们的防守也可以说比上赛季更强,所以他们可能有足够的力量来挫败枪手。
不过,这并不是说亚特兰大在前锋方面缺乏天赋,因为阿德莫拉·洛克曼在周日对阵佛罗伦萨的比赛中首次亮相意甲,在欧联杯决赛中上演帽子戏法,打进一球并助攻,这位活泼的尼日利亚前锋可以在对阵阿森纳的比赛中继续保持良好状态。
预言:
亚特兰大双倍机会(赢或平局)
亚特兰大1:0

Arsenal aiming to build on derby win
Despite numerous big-name absentees, Arsenal dug deep to beat their bitter rivals Spurs 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday and the momentum gained from that derby-day victory should aid them ahead of a tricky trip to Italy.
The Gunners head to Bergamo on Thursday to take on Europa League champions Atalanta and will be highly motivated following Gabriel’s winner in the north London derby.
Mikel Arteta’s side were without first-choice midfielders Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino for the derby but the Spaniard demonstrated his coaching pedigree by getting an elite defensive display from his depleted Gunners and that resilience should serve them well in Europe this term.
Hosts can be tough to beat in Bergamo
However, Atalanta themselves also dug deep on Sunday, coming from behind to beat Fiorentina 3-2, and they may need a repeat of that determination against an Arsenal side who have the defenders to frustrate opponents and the attackers to hurt them.
The Gunners can be considered one of Europe’s elite having closely challenged juggernauts Manchester City for the Premier League title in consecutive seasons and given Atalanta lost their previous game 4-0 to the Serie A champions Inter Milan, some may expect them to struggle on Thursday.
But La Dea were excellent when winning the Europa League last term, especially when beating previously unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the final, and their home form has been exceptional for a while now.
Atalanta have won six of their last seven home games, a record which should hold them in good stead ahead of a match against a side who struggled on their European travels last term.
Lookman likely to catch the eye
The Gunners won only one of their five Champions League away games last season in a run which included defeats at Lens, Porto and Bayern Munich, suggesting this trip to Bergamo may not be as straightforward as some are expecting.
The experience of their Europa League win will keep them motivated ahead of this clash and the smart additions of Odilon Kossounou, Juan Cuadrado and Raoul Bellanova mean they are arguably stronger defensively than last season too, so they could have enough to frustrate the Gunners.
That is not to say Atalanta are lacking talent further forward, though, as Ademola Lookman has built on his hat-trick in the Europa League final by notching a goal and an assist in his first Serie A appearance of the season against Fiorentina on Sunday and the lively Nigerian forward could continue his fine form by netting against Arsenal.
Predictions:Atalanta Double Chance (Win or Draw)
Atalanta 1-0
