Atalanta vs Valencia preview: Champions League prediction, tickets, TV, live stream, H2H, team news, odds
Atalanta and Valencia will rate their chances of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals with a welcome draw as the knockout stages begin.
The Serie A side scrapped through after a stunning comeback from three defeats to reach this stage, and will find themselves as favourites despite Valencia's superior experience at this level.
Los Che topped a group which contained Chelsea and Ajax and may relish a return to European competition amid an inconsistent domestic campaign.
