Preview

Match preview

Atalanta welcome Pafos to Bergamo for their UEFA Europa Conference League tie looking to build on an undefeated start in the league stage. The Italian side have shown tight defensive structure in Europe so far, recording a 1-0 away victory and a goalless home draw across their two competition outings. Coming off a 3-1 home domestic victory against Venezia, they will seek to maintain their momentum on home soil.

Pafos arrive also unbeaten through two European fixtures, having secured a 4-2 home victory alongside a 1-1 draw on the road. The Cypriot outfit carry confidence from a recent 3-1 away win against Anorthosis, though facing Serie A opposition at their home venue presents a considerably tougher defensive assignment.

With Atalanta keeping clean sheets in both of their European matches to date and Pafos having shared the points in their previous away trip in this tournament, a cautious approach is likely to shape proceedings in Bergamo.

Atalanta or Draw
76%
Confidence

Atalanta have avoided defeat in both of their Conference League fixtures, keeping two clean sheets and conceding zero goals across 180 minutes of European action. While Pafos have also started the competition solidly with a win and a draw, their away trip produced a 1-1 stalemate and Atalanta boast recent home form highlighted by a 3-1 win over Venezia. Backing the hosts to either win or draw covers the likelihood of a tight contest while respecting Atalanta's superior defensive record in the tournament.
