Champions League: Eintracht vs. Atalanta – Probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Raffaele Palladino will take charge of his first ever Champions League match when Atalanta take on Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park on Wednesday evening. 

La Dea sit in 17th place ahead of kick-off, with seven points to their name from their opening four Champions League matches of the season. They have picked up encouraging victories against Marseille and Club Brugge thus far, but fell to a 4-0 defeat against PSG in the opening round and were held to a 0-0 draw by Slavia Prague under Ivan Juric. 

Palladino has a fairly fit and healthy squad at his disposal in Germany. Giorgio Scalvini has suffered a new injury set-back: He is the only concern other than the long-term absentee Mitchel Bakker. 

Pre-match reports indicate that Palladino will name a strong side, led by the attacking trident of Charles De Ketelaere, Ademola Lookman and Gianluca Scamacca. 

Kick-off is due at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).
