Atalanta and Pafos FC meet in the Europa Conference League in clearly contrasting form. Atalanta just won 3-1 in the league last time out, but before that they lost 3 in a row in Serie A, while Pafos FC also just won 3-1 in the league, and their overall last 5 games read 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss. Atalanta are still a side whose defence is not entirely steady in their own league, scoring 8 and conceding 8 in 6 games, but at home in the first half they tend not to concede easily (0.22 first-half goals conceded on average). Pafos FC come from Cyprus with tighter form in their own league, scoring 7 and conceding 3 in 5 games, and they edge possession slightly over their last 10 games (53.5% against 49.3%). Based on the expected line-ups, Pafos FC are likely to set up in a compact block and use counter-attacking moments. The game is likely to play out with Atalanta dominating and doing most of the attacking, but Pafos FC have enough discipline not to leave easy gaps. If Pafos FC can handle the hosts' attacking moments early on, the game will stretch further and is likely to finish without much of a margin.
