Match Facts
This will be Atalanta’s first ever meeting with Celtic and their first European game against a Scottish team.
Celtic have lost their last seven UEFA Champions League games against Italian teams by an aggregate score of 15-1 since winning 2-1 against Milan in October 2007. Away from home, Celtic have lost every single one of their seven Champions League visits to Italy.
Atalanta are looking to win successive games in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since March 2020, reaching the quarter-final that season.
Since beating RSC Anderlecht 3-0 in September 2017, Celtic have lost eight of their last nine away matches in the UEFA Champions League, conceding 36 goals in that period (4 per game).
Atalanta have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four games in major European competition, the last Italian side to do so in five straight games was Milan in April 2023.
Since the start of 2022-23, Celtic have conceded more goals than any other side in the UEFA Champions League (38 – 2.7 per game), while no side has a higher xG per shot faced (0.13) than them among teams that have played at least 10 games in that time.
Celtic have won two of their last three games in the UEFA Champions League (L1), not since November 2007 under Gordon Strachan have they won at least three games in a period of four games or fewer in the competition.
Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman has been involved in eight goals in his last five starts in major European competition (6 goals, 2 assists), while in the UEFA Champions League this season, only three forwards have won possession in the final third more often than him (4).
Against Shakhtar Donetsk last time out, Atalanta’s Lazar Samardzic created six chances and completed seven dribbles, becoming the first player to complete as many for both metrics in a UEFA Champions League game since Lionel Messi for Barcelona against Internazionale in October 2019.
Daizen Maeda has scored in each of Celtic’s first two games in the UEFA Champions League this season, and could become the first player to score in three successive games for them in the competition.
