Later this evening, Atalanta and Club Brugge lock horns in the Champions League once again.
Last season, the two European powerhouses went toe-to-toe in a two-legged play-off tie, with Club Brugge coming out on top and reaching the Round of 16.
Will history repeat itself to some degree on Matchday 2 of the 2025-26 campaign? We will soon find out!
Below is a full sports betting online preview for Atalanta vs Club Brugge, complete with odds and tips for your midweek football bets online.
Atalanta vs Club Brugge Preview
Club Brugge really were the dominant force when these two sides met last season.
Nicky Hayen’s side won 3-1 in Bergamo, before finishing off the tie with a 2-1 victory at the Jan Breydel Stadium – sealing a famous 5-2 aggregate triumph.
And while their Jupiler Pro League form has been inconsistent at times this season, Club Brugge started their Champions League campaign in fine fashion with a resounding 4-1 victory over AS Monaco.
Atalanta’s start to European action this term was the polar opposite of the Belgian side’s, with Ivan Juric’s team thrashed 4-0 by defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
However, Atalanta did follow up that poor performance with a 3-0 win at Torino, and also drew 1-1 with Juventus on the weekend.
Club Brugge beat STVV 2-0 after their success vs Monaco, and were then part of one of the Pro League’s greatest-ever games, a 5-5 draw with Westerlo.
Fortunately, Hayen’s men did not let that chaotic fixture scramble their brains too much, as they picked up a vital 2-1 win at Standard Liege on the weekend.
Club Brugge are now up to second in the Pro League as a result, which should be a huge confidence booster for the squad ahead of this important Champions League clash.
Furthermore, key forward Christos Tzolis was back on the scoresheet in Liege, while Romeo Vermant’s late winner may be the spark to fully ignite the talented striker’s season.

Atalanta vs Club Brugge Betting Tips
Player to score or assist – Charles De Ketelaere @ 1.80
Ex-Club Brugge playmaker De Ketelaere has been a standout performer for Atalanta this season, already netting two goals in Serie A. And with Ademola Lookman now back in the fold, the Belgium international’s assist threat naturally increases.
Player to score or assist – Hans Vanaken @ 2.63
Vanaken loves the Champions League stage. In five European appearances this term (including the qualifying rounds), he has tallied three goals and two assists. Atalanta have also kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches, so this selection could represent fantastic value.
Total goals – Over 3.5 @ 2.27
Like Atalanta, Club Brugge have kept just one clean sheet in their previous six matches across all competitions. So we expect to see goals aplenty in Bergamo later this evening.
