Player(s) to watch:
- Mateo Retegui has lit up the stage since his arrival at Atalanta and has made headlines for all the good reasons. Retegui is a natural forward filled with goal-scoring instincts and is always at the right place at the right time. His hold-up play, combined with his finishing abilities and aerial prowess, makes him a complete package for the Orobics.
- Theo Hernández will be the man to watch out for coming into this game. He is one of the best left-backs in the world and brings more than just defending to the table. His attacking instincts are second to none. He is known for his contributions upfront. His pinpoint crossing coupled with his dribbling and creativity makes him a threat for any opposition.
