*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

This is a must-win for Sturm Graz, as any other result will eliminate them from this competition. The visitors are 29th in the 36-team table, five points behind the playoff places with two games left to play.

On the other hand, Atalanta are eyeing a top-eight spot. They have a 3-2-1 win-draw-loss record and currently sit in 13th place, just two points behind eighth-placed Lille.

With that in mind, Atalanta are the expected winners at 2/9 (1.22). Teams with these odds generally have an 81.8% probability of winning.
