I still can’t believe Arsenal is among the soccer betting favorites to win the UEFA Champions League title, but to be fair, they totally deserve to be favorites to defeat Atalanta in their 2024-25 season debut.
That doesn’t mean the Black and Blues won’t put up a good fight, especially after scoring at least two goals in each of their last three home games. Let’s check more facts, stats, and odds to select the bet soccer picks!

2 Best Picks for Atalanta vs Arsenal
1. Draw for Mo neyline Bet
Atalanta has had a rocky start to the season. Yes, they recently defeated Fiorentina 3-2 at home, but prior to that close victory, they lost to Torino (2-1) and Inter Milan (4-0).
There’s also the fact that Atalanta is 1-2-2 against English teams when playing at home. Overall, the Black and Blues are 4-2-4 with 19 goals for and 18 against. In other words, they can and will put up a good fight, but don’t have what it takes to pull off the stunner.
As for Arsenal, the Gunners remain unbeaten in the English Premier League. Most recently, they visited Tottenham and won 1-0 with center-back Gabriel Magalhaes as Player of the Match. Besides an impeccable labor at defense, the Brazilian scored the winner.

That’s the thing with Arsenal, anyone can step up and save the day. For the game against the Spurs, superstars like Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, and Ethan Nwaneri came off the bench.
Arsenal is 7-4-6 when facing Italian teams on the road, which is another reason for the Gunners to come in as the favorite at BetUS Sportsbook at -110 odds. However, the correct bet here is on the draw as the Black and Blues already proved they can make powerhouses suffer. A month ago, they lost the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid but it wasn’t easy for Kylian Mbappe and Los Blancos.
Bet This Pick: Atalanta, Arsenal Draw (+283)
2. Game Total Under 2½
Sometimes, people who don’t like soccer argue that it’s boring, and usually, that’s related to the score. But a match that ends 6-0 will not necessarily end up being a good match, while a 1-1 draw can end up being the Game of the Week.
Precisely, I expect this match between Atalanta and Arsenal to finish with a 1-1 draw. That means both will score, which is offering a -150 soccer betting line. I also expect Arsenal to take the lead, because like his mentor, Pep Guardiola, head coach Mikel Arteta loves to control possession. That also guides me to Atalanta scoring last at +160. Hey! I’m giving you plenty of options!
I like the draw because both teams are used to close matches. Two of Atalanta’s last three games finished with a one-goal difference. The same happened in Arsenal’s last two games. In fact, one of those games was against Brighton and finished 1-1.
Summing up, I expect the game total to go under 2½ but I also expect a back-and-forth battle.
