FK Sarajevo v Atalanta Preview and Prediction

Date/time: August 2^nd 2018 (Kick-off, 7:15 PM, GMT)

On Thursday night, FK Sarajevo and Atalanta go head-to-head in the Europa League second qualifying round second leg.

The first leg of the tie finished 2-2 in Italy, a very respectable result for the Bosnian side. Sarajevo have the slight advantage because of the away goals, so will fancy their chances of progression to the next round.

Bosnian and Herzegovina outfit FK Sarajevo have a long history in the Europa League. However, their recent results in the competition have been mixed in recent seasons. The home side can at least say they are unbeaten in three games the competition, though after beating Armenian side Banants in the last round.

Atalanta were massive favourites to go through to the next round prior to the first leg. However, the two away goals conceded could make this second leg very tricky indeed for the men from Bergamo.
