Atalanta host Pafos in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Both clubs have picked up a fairly even mix of wins, draws and losses across their last twenty matches, and the goals columns for each look pretty similar too.
Both sides have already had a run out in this season's Conference League before this tie comes around. Atalanta needed two attempts to see off Hapoel Tel Aviv, while Pafos split their pair of games with Dinamo Tirana. Neither route into this competition has been especially free-scoring so far.

Worth remembering that both samples stretch back through the spring and include pre-season friendlies as well as competitive fixtures, so this isn't a clean read on current-season sharpness. It's more a picture of two sides who've been fairly inconsistent without falling apart.
Neither team walks in with a clear form advantage over the other.
Comparative Team Statistics: Atalanta vs Pafos
Their Conference League form this term
Atalanta's two games in this season's competition so far were tight: a goalless draw with Hapoel Tel Aviv followed by a narrow 1-0 win in the return leg. Pafos, by contrast, have already scored four in one European outing against Dinamo Tirana, though they also settled for a 1-1 draw in the other leg.
That suggests Pafos might carry a bit more attacking threat into continental football right now, even if their overall recent record doesn't stand out from Atalanta's. Whether that translates against a side of Atalanta's calibre is another matter entirely.

With so little separating the two sides on the numbers we've got, and no posted market to test that against, we're happy to sit this one out for now.
Both teams have shown they can score goals and both have shown they can go quiet, so it feels sensible to wait for closer team news before forming a stronger view.
