Match Preview: Valencia CF vs Atalanta BC
History:
Valencia CF will return to Champions League football to welcome Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio on Tuesday the 10th of March at Mestalla at 9 pm kick-off time looking to cut a three-goal deficit from the first leg behind closed doors over COVID-19 concerns.

Valencia CF have not managed to beat Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio in their two previous meetings with a 1-2 win in Valencia CF’s at Valencia CF’s curtain-raiser the 46th edition of the Trofeo Naranja in the 2017-18 season or the 4-1 from the last 16 first leg.

However, throughout their history, VCF have taken several results in Champions League action at Mestalla that would allow them to go through against Atalanta. This season they beat LOSC Lille 4-1 in the group stages, which would level the tie. Before that, they had spectacular wins against Genk (7-0), Bursaspor (6-1), Rangers (3-0), Elfsborg (3-0), Red Bull Salzburg (3-0), Spartak Moscow (3-0), Basel (6-2), Leeds United (3-0), Tirol Innsbruck (4-1), FC Barcelona (4-1) and Girondins (3-0).

Albert Celades: “We're confident that we will be able to do it”
Jose Luis Gayà: “We think that we have a chance"
Gian Piero Gasperini: “We seem to get comfortable and assume the job is done when it really isn’t”
Robin Gosens:"It's a difficult situation”
