Atalanta-Bayern Munich start time
Atalanta vs Bayern Munich starts on March 10 at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.
Match preview
Atalanta’s knockout trip has already been the stuff of European drama. After falling two goals behind in the first leg, they changed the script in Bergamo, erasing the deficit an hour before Borussia Dortmund earned a 3-3 draw. Then, in added time, Lazar Samardzic kept his cool from the penalty spot to send La Dea to the round of 16.
As Italy’s sole flag bearer in this season’s competition, Atalanta carry pride and pressure and since that famous victory over Dortmund, Raffaele Palladino’s side have stumbled domestically, picking up just one point from two league games and drawing with Lazio in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Bayern look every inch a powerhouse. With 35 wins in 40 games in all competitions, the six-time European champions have only been beaten by Arsenal in this year’s Champions League. PSG and Chelsea were sidelined, and Die Roten swept the group stage with seven wins out of eight. History suggests that they are thriving at this stage of the tournament, with ten wins in their last twelve round of 16 ties, and their scoring record is unmatched, averaging more goals per game than any other team in the knockout rounds.
Domestically, Bayern are also ruthless: they have already scored 92 league goals, approaching a Bundesliga record, and six consecutive victories in all competitions. Vincent Kompany’s men are chasing another Meisterschale, looking ahead to a DFB-Pokal final and whispering about a treble. Like Atalanta, they also overcame Dortmund in a five-goal thriller last month, before rotating heavily in a routine win over Gladbach.
Key statistics and injury news
Atalanta coach Palladino could be boosted by Ederson’s return for Tuesday’s opener, while captain Marten De Roon is expected to return to the matchday squad after sitting out against Udinese. Even so, the hosts are not in top form: Giorgio Scalvini is suspended, Giacomo Raspadori has just returned to training and Charles De Ketelaere is still out with a knee problem.
Bayern also have concerns about his fitness. Harry Kane missed Friday’s game with a minor calf problem but may be ready to play, while Manuel Neuer’s situation is more worrying: he was out for two games and was replaced midway through the game against Gladbach. Hiroki Ito and Alphonso Davies are still unavailable, leaving Vincent Kompany with decisions to make.
Despite Atalanta’s impressive record against German opposition – four wins in the last five – they have struggled when it comes to knockout football, losing six of their last seven meetings.
