A close game is expected when Atalanta host Chelsea on Tuesday night. Both teams are in the hunt for automatic qualification for the knockout rounds with the hosts in 10th but equal on points with seventh-placed Chelsea. 

The odds point to an away win with the Premier League side 10/111.91 to win but Chelsea have stumbled of late and are set for a tough test. We have looked at the Opta stats and pulled out three bets for this Tuesday night clash in the Champions League.

Bet #1 - Back the Draw

The Stat

Things went south for Chelsea after their stunning 3-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League last time out. They have not won in their last three in the Premier League. The Blues' have impressed so far in this competition but their best performances have come in their three wins at home. On the road, they lost at Bayern Munich and drew at Qarabag. Atalanta have won their last two in the Champions League - both away - and are unbeaten at home. 

The Bet 

Bet #2 - Back Krstovic to hit the target

The Stat

Nikola Krstovic has had 2+ shots in four of his five UEFA Champions League appearances this season, also having a shot on target in three of those games

The Bet 

Bet #3 - Back Estevao treble

The Stat

In three UEFA Champions League starts so far, Estêvão has scored in each game and had 2+ shots, created 2+ chances and conceded 2+ fouls in every game as well.
