Champions League: Bayern vs. Atalanta – Second Leg Preview, Probable Line-ups
Atalanta faces an immense challenge in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Bayern Munich, with Nikola Krstovic expected to lead their attack. The match is scheduled for 21:00 CET (20:00 GMT) at Munich's Allianz Arena.
Following a crushing 6-1 defeat in the first leg in Bergamo, Bayern Munich's progression to the quarter-finals seems all but secured.
Atalanta arrives in Germany missing the suspended Yunus Musah, but the rest of the squad, including Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori, is available. Charles De Ketelaere is anticipated to start as an attacking midfielder, supporting Kamaldeen Sulemana and central striker Krstovic.
Midfield selections pose some dilemmas for Atalanta, with Mario Pasalic and Marten de Roon contending for a central role, and Davide Zappacosta or Mitchel Bakker vying for the left flank.
Probable Line-ups: Bayern vs. Atalanta
Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Urbig; Stanisic, Tah, Kim, Bischof; Pavlovic, Goretzka; Karl, Gnabry, Diaz; Jackson.
Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, Ahanor; Bellanova, Ederson, Pasalic, Bakker; De Ketelaere, Sulemana; Krstovic.
