Comments and predictions for the results of Atalanta and Chelsea, Champions League 2025-2026

Atalanta vs Chelsea prediction (3:00 a.m. December 10). Construction Newspaper predicts the results of the 2025-2026 Champions League.

The match between Atalanta and Chelsea in the 2025-2026 UEFA Champions League qualifying round will take place at 3:00 a.m. on December 10.

Predicted result Atalanta vs Chelsea: 1-2.

Will Atalanta get 3 points against Chelsea?

After a run of three consecutive wins, scoring nine goals and conceding none, Atalanta surprisingly lost 1-3 to Verona in their last outing. This defeat caused them to drop to 12th place in the Serie A standings with only 16 points after 14 matches.

This achievement is clearly not commensurate with Atalanta's current strength. But the season is not yet halfway through and they can completely improve their ranking.

In the Champions League, Atalanta is showing a contrasting face when they have a 4-match unbeaten streak, winning 10/12 maximum points. These positive results help them rise to 10th place in the overall rankings and are only 2 points behind the top 2.

Looking at that, it can be seen that coach Raffaele Palladino's team is completely capable of standing in the top 8 when the qualifying round ends, thereby winning a direct ticket to the knockout round.

On the opposite side of the field, Chelsea this season is considered the most erratic team in Europe.

Chelsea have been playing inconsistently lately.

Typical of their inconsistency is in their last 4 matches when they won 3-0 against Barcelona in the Champions League and then shared points with Arsenal when they were short-handed. It is worth mentioning that these are the two strongest teams in Europe at the moment.

But when meeting two lower-ranked teams, Bournemouth and Leeds, The Blues only got 1 point.

Against strong opponents, coach Maresca's team showed a very different face. They were ready to play an open game, overwhelming their opponents and the fact that they often had the advantage against the "big guys" of Europe is proof.

However, against the underdogs, the London representative played quite awkwardly and at many times they almost lost direction in both defense and attack.

This is a very worrying thing because Chelsea has been playing inconsistently in recent seasons. There was a period when they played well but suddenly they declined with a series of matches without knowing the taste of victory.

Returning to the match with Atalanta, this is an equal opponent and if they play at their best, they can completely win 3 full points to maintain their position in the top 8 on the overall rankings.

But it must be admitted that Atalanta is not an easy opponent and they are also capable of making Chelsea regret if they lose focus.

Another reason for Chelsea fans to worry is that in the past their team has never faced Atalanta and this could create confusion in the upcoming match.

Before the match, most experts highly appreciated Chelsea's ability to win 3 points. However, it must be known that Atalanta usually plays well at home and they are also on a streak of 2 consecutive wins here.

In this match, coach Raffaele Palladino will be without two important stars, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Mitchel Bakker. On the contrary, Chelsea also lost Levi Colwill, Liam Delap, Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia due to injury.

Expected lineup

Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi; Kossounou, Hien, Djimsiti; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta; De Ketelaere, Lookman; Scamacca.

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella; James, Santos; Estevao, Fernandez, Garnacho; Neto.
