UEFA Champions League 2025/26: Atalanta vs Bayern Munich Preview, Prediction, TV channels & Predicted Lineup
The Champions League knockout stage arrives in Bergamo as Atalanta, the final Italian side remaining, look to spring another "giant-killing" surprise against a high-flying Bayern Munich side eyeing continental glory.
Match Facts
Atalanta are unbeaten in 11 of their last 14 meetings with Bundesliga sides, including a stunning 4–3 aggregate comeback over Borussia Dortmund in the playoff round.
Harry Kane has returned to training after a minor calf injury; he has been involved in 33 goals in 33 Champions League matches since joining the Bavarians.
Despite their home form, La Dea have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last nine UCL knockout matches, conceding an average of 2 goals per game.
Bayern Munich have progressed from 13 of their last 14 Champions League Round of 16 ties, losing only one of their last 12 matches at this stage.
Predicted Lineup
Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Kossounou, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, De Roon, Pasalic, Bernasconi; Samardzic, Zalewski; Scamacca
Bayern Munich: Urbig; Stanisic, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Musiala, Diaz; Kane
Prediction of AI
While Atalanta’s "New Balance Arena" will be a cauldron of noise, the absence of Charles De Ketelaere and Giorgio Scalvini leaves them vulnerable through the spine. Vincent Kompany’s Bayern are currently operating at a different level of efficiency, having won 35 of their last 40 matches. Even if Harry Kane isn't at 100%, the creative trio of Musiala, Olise, and Díaz should provide enough clinical edge to silence the Bergamo crowd.
Predicted Score: Atalanta 1–3 Bayern Munich
