Match Facts

  • The only previous two meetings between Atalanta and Sturm Graz came last season, with the Italian side going unbeaten in two group stage games of the 2023-24 UEFA Europea League (2-2 away and 1-0 at home).

  • No Austrian side has ever won against Italian opposition in the UEFA Champions League, while this will be the 15th such fixture in the competition (P14 W0 D3 L11).

  • Atalanta are winless in their last five home games in the UEFA Champions League (D3 L2), most recently losing 3-2 to Real Madrid on MD6. Their only win in their last 10 games on home turf in the competition came in September 2021 when beating Young Boys 1-0 (D5 L4).

  • Sturm Graz have won only one of their 15 away games in the UEFA Champions League (6.7% - D2 L12) and the only teams to have played as many games on the road with a worse win rate in the competition are AEK Athens (0%) and Celtic (4.8%).

  • Only three teams have yielded a higher expected goals figure (excluding penalties) than Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League this season (12.7), while the Italians are one of just three sides to rank in the top five for both expected goals and expected goals against (5.2) in the competition this term (also Liverpool & Bayern Munich).

  • Sturm Graz have scored three goals in their last two UEFA Champions League matches after only netting once across their previous six. Meanwhile Atalanta have conceded four goals in their last two games in the competition, as many as across their previous 10 outings in major European competition.

  • Only FC Salzburg (22y 216d) have named a younger starting XI on average in the UEFA Champions League this season than Sturm Graz (23y 254d), with no team handing minutes to more different teenagers than the Austrians (5): Malick Yalcouyé, Amady Camara, Lovro Zvonarek, Arjan Malic and Konstantin Schopp.

  • Charles De Ketelaere has been directly involved in seven goals in six UEFA Champions League games this season (three goals, four assists). If he scores or assists here, he would equal the record for a Belgian player in a single campaign in the competition (8 by Kevin De Bruyne in 2022-23 – two goals, six assists).

  • No player has created more chances from line-breaking passes in this season’s UEFA Champions League than Atalanta’s Lazar Samardzic (6), despite him only playing 182 minutes so far this campaign.

  • Three of the seven players to apply the most high pressures to opponents in this season’s UEFA Champions League have done so for Sturm Graz – William Bøving (413, 2nd), Malick Yalcouyé (359, 5th) and Mika Biereth (328, 7th), although the latter has since departed to join Monaco.
