PSG vs Atalanta Preview

The Parisians emerged victorious when these sides last met, and this clash promises to be another entertaining contest.

Bradley Barcola has stepped up in recent weeks with crucial goals, particularly in the absence of Ousmane Dembélé. Alongside Gonçalo Ramos and Warren Zaïre-Emery in midfield, PSG look dangerous in possession and clinical in attack.

Atalanta, meanwhile, have made a mixed start to their Serie A season. La Dea were held to back-to-back draws before finding momentum with a 4-1 victory over Lecce, thanks to a Charles De Ketelaere brace. The Belgian attacker, along with Teun Koopmeiners, will be central to Atalanta’s hopes in Paris.

This is only the second meeting between these two sides, and with PSG playing at home, the odds are firmly in their favour. Atalanta will rely on their counter-attacking ability, but defensive gaps could prove costly against Europe’s most lethal frontline.

PSG vs Atalanta Match Prediction

PSG enter the contest as clear favourites. Their current form, squad depth, and home advantage make them a formidable opponent. Even without Ousmane Dembélé and Lucas Beraldo, the Parisians have enough attacking quality through Bradley Barcola, Gonçalo Ramos, and Vitinha.

Atalanta have attacking threats in Charles De Ketelaere and Teun Koopmeiners, but their defensive vulnerabilities could be exposed against a side that thrives on possession and fast transitions.

Team Strengths:

PSG – Strong home record, high-press attack, world-class midfield.
Atalanta – Energetic midfield, quick transitions, but inconsistent at the back.

Why PSG Deserve to Win:
PSG are on a four-match winning streak, have momentum on their side, and remain one of the most dangerous teams in Europe. Atalanta will need a near-perfect display to get anything from this game.

Predicted Winner: PSG
Score Prediction: PSG 3-1 Atalanta
