The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Young Boys take on Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta side in an important encounter at the Wankdorf Stadium on Tuesday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Young Boys vs Atalanta Preview
Atalanta are in ninth place in the UEFA Champions League standings and have been fairly impressive this season. La Dea eased past Parma by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Young Boys, on the other hand, are in 34th place in the Champions League table and have been in poor form this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Luzern over the weekend and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
