Atalanta has work to do on the second floor of his draw for the Champions League eliminators against Club Brugge.
The DEA seemed intended to secure a 1-1 draw in Bruges last Wednesday after Mario Pasalic canceled Ferran Jutgla’s opening match, but a very controversial late penalty decision allowed the hosts to win a victory 2 -1.
The outside objectives which are no longer considered in this competition, Atalanta needs a healthy victory in Bergamo to progress in the final of 16.
The two teams are looking for their respective national titles this season, but the couple was held at prints on weekends. While Atalanta did not manage to break down a resolved side of Cagliari in a relentless dead end, Brugge rallied late to pick up a point at the STVV in difficulty.

Atalanta sorely missed the African footballer of the year Ademola Lookman, but there is a chance that the attacker will be back in the XI of the departure of Gian Piero Gasperini on Tuesday evening.
Lookman and Sead Kolasinac both returned to training following the dead end on Saturday.
However, the hosts are again without Gianluca Scamacca, who took a period on the sidelines with a problem of the hamstrings who has just recovered from a tear of the LCA. It is unlikely that Giorgio Scalvini and Odilon Kossounou will appear, while the addition of January Daniel Maldini is a doubt.
Atalanta predicted the VS Club Brugge programming (3-4-2-1): Patricio; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, de Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta; Lookman, from Ketelaere; Used.
Brugge’s position in the Belgian Pro League table signified that Nicky Hayen had opted against rest and rotation at the STVV this weekend, and we should see a similar starting training on Tuesday evening.
Visitors remain healthy on the injury front, with Bjorn Meiler the only notable absent.
Christos Tzolis was on the bench on weekends and could return to the Hayen team with Jutgla starting up and Gustaf Nilsson abandoned. Raphael Onyedinka, who scored at Etihad last month, is also about to return to the XI.
Club Brugge predicted the VS Atalanta program (4-2-3-1):: Mignolet; Seys, Ordonez, Mechele, de Cuyper; Onyedika, Yashari; Taibi, Vanaken, Tzolis; Jutgla.
The Brugge club was excellent last week, refusing to succumb to the unique intensity of Atalanta out of possession while dragging the visitors themselves via a clever work without the ball.
Brugge must produce a level of performance similar to Bergamo to have a chance to sneak, with Atalanta with a large part of the territory on Tuesday evening. However, we saw the Gasperini team peeling off when he needs a goal several times at the Gewiss this term. The DEA attracted whites to consecutive home matches and was excluded twice during the league phase.
Maybe Lookman is the spark they desperately need. They are a completely different proposal with the Nigerian superstar wreaking havoc on the left side.
