Atalanta 0-0 Slavia Praha: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral's post-match review of Atalanta 0-0 Slavia Praha in the Champions League on Wednesday, 22 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The match between Atalanta and Slavia Praha ended in a goalless draw, a result that might have been unexpected given Atalanta's recent form. Atalanta, coming off a 2-1 victory against Club Brugge at home, were unable to break down a resilient Slavia Praha side. The draw means Atalanta failed to extend their winning run, while Slavia Praha, who had lost 0-3 to Inter in their last outing, managed to secure a valuable point away from home. No standout performances were noted from either side, as both teams struggled to create clear-cut chances.

The game was a tactical battle with neither team able to assert dominance. Atalanta, playing at home, had the majority of possession but couldn't convert it into goals. Slavia Praha, on the other hand, showed great defensive discipline, especially considering their recent defeat. This result keeps both teams in the race for progression in the tournament, though Atalanta will be disappointed not to have capitalised on their home advantage.

The statistics from the match reflect the closely contested nature of the game. Atalanta enjoyed 56% of the ball possession compared to Slavia Praha's 44%, yet they only managed to secure six corners to Slavia's three. The successful dribbles percentage was significantly higher for Atalanta at 54%, while Slavia Praha managed just 25%. Despite these figures, the game ended in a stalemate, suggesting that Slavia's defensive organisation was key to their success.

The match saw a total of five yellow cards, with Atalanta receiving three and Slavia Praha two. This indicates a competitive but not overly aggressive encounter. The number of substitutions, five for Atalanta and four for Slavia Praha, suggests both managers were looking to change the game's dynamics, but ultimately, neither team could find the breakthrough.

Unfortunately, there were no key moments recorded for Atalanta in this match. This lack of significant events underscores the difficulty Atalanta faced in breaking down Slavia Praha's defence. The absence of goals, assists, or notable cards from Atalanta's side indicates a frustrating evening for the home team.

Similarly, no key moments were recorded for Slavia Praha. Their defensive solidity was the highlight of their performance, as they managed to keep a clean sheet away from home. The absence of key moments for both teams highlights the tactical nature of the game, where neither side could find a decisive moment to change the outcome.

Atalanta lined up in a 3-4-3 formation with Marco Carnesecchi in goal, a back three of Odilon Kossounou, Isak Hien, and Berat Djimsiti, and a midfield quartet of Davide Zappacosta, Éderson, Marten de Roon, and Lorenzo Bernasconi. The attacking trio consisted of Charles De Ketelaere, Nikola Krstović, and Ademola Lookman. There were no surprises in the lineup, but the five substitutions made by manager Gian Piero Gasperini suggest an attempt to inject fresh legs and change the game's momentum. However, none of the substitutes made a significant impact on the result.

Slavia Praha opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Jakub Markovic between the posts, a back three of Tomas Vlcek, David Zima, and Jan Boril, and a midfield of David Moses, Christos Zafeiris, Oscar, and Youssoupha Mbodji. The attacking midfield duo of Lukas Provod and Vasil Kusej supported the lone striker Tomas Chory. The lineup was as expected, and the four substitutions made by manager Jindřich Trpišovský indicate a similar strategy to Atalanta's in trying to alter the game's flow. Despite the changes, Slavia Praha's defensive resilience was the standout feature of their performance.

Jakub Markovic is Coral's Man of the Match for his outstanding performance in goal for Slavia Praha. Markovic made five crucial saves, ensuring his team kept a clean sheet away from home. His contribution was vital in securing a point, with one clearance and one punch adding to his defensive efforts. Markovic's performance was the key factor in Slavia Praha's successful defensive display.
