Atalanta

Atalanta host Pafos with Giorgio Scalvini ruled out through injury, and Thomas Kristensen is expected to start at centre-back. Raoul Bellanova has recovered in time for the match, though Davide Zappacosta is currently expected to start at right-back.

Further forward, Nikola Krstović and Gianluca Scamacca are the alternatives at centre-forward, with Krstović having scored twice and supplied one assist in his last five appearances. Franck Kessié is likely to retain his place in midfield after three recent starts. Giacomo Raspadori has returned to group training, but his role against Pafos remains unclear.

Pafos

Bruno Felipe, David Goldar and Kenneth Sema are each expected to return for Pafos after not playing against Anorthosis. All three had started three of the previous four matches.

David Luiz has started every match in this run and should keep his place in defence, while Radosław Majecki is expected to return in goal. Domingos Quina, who has started four of the last five games and been substituted in all of them, is not expected to start against Atalanta. Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu is also set to miss out despite four starts in the same spell. Biel made his first start of the last five matches against Anorthosis but is expected to drop out this time.
