Champions League line-ups: Atalanta vs. Borussia Dortmund
Atalanta hope Gianluca Scamacca and Lazar Samardzic can inspire them to overturn a 2-0 deficit with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League play-off.
It kicks off at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo at 17.45 GMT (18.45 CET).
La Dea have seen their Serie A form revitalised under coach Raffaele Palladino since he replaced Ivan Juric in November, and they had been on the verge of a top eight Champions League finish.
However, a sudden collapse saw them slide into the play-offs, losing the first leg 2-0 in Dortmund for their third consecutive Champions League defeat.
Charles De Ketelaere and January signing Giacomo Raspadori are still out of action, but Scamacca returns to the starting XI after muscular issues.
Ederson had been expected to play too, but he is clearly still not fully fit, so Mario Pasalic plays.
Nicola Zalewski and Lazar Samardzic act in support of the centre-forward after Sunday’s comeback win over Napoli in Serie A.
Borussia Dortmund are missing Niklas Sule, Italian Filippo Mane and cup-tied Patrick Drewes, but the good news for them is that Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck return to the squad.
The star centre-forward is Serhou Guirassy, who scored in the opening minutes of the first leg and assisted the second from Maximilian Beier.
These teams met three times and Atalanta have never won, managing a 1-1 home draw in 2018 and two away defeats.
