We said: Atalanta BC 1-2 RB Leipzig (Leipzig win 3-2 on aggregate)

Atalanta's worst run over a period of 14 league matches since 2016 has been brought about by a declining goal rate in 2022; scoring at just over one per game, their best attacking displays have been saved for Europe. However, Leipzig's was the Bundesliga's best defence last season, and they are second only to Bayern during the current campaign in that regard. They can edge this contest, then, by holding firm for the most part and striking surgically on the break. Read more.
