Midtjylland's first game in the UEFA Champions League group stage pits them against Atalanta, who made a significant impact on their own competition debut last season. • While the Danish side successfully negotiated qualifying this summer at the third time of asking, Atalanta will be eager to build on a remarkable first European Cup campaign that took them as far as the quarter-finals and a dramatic late defeat. • This opening Group D fixture is the first game between the sides, but each has unpleasant memories of their sole previous engagement against a club from their opponents' country. Form guide Midtjylland • Midtjylland are the fifth Danish club to take part in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and the first since Copenhagen in 2016/17. • Their only previous experience of a European group stage was in 2015/16, when they finished runners-up in their UEFA Europa League section before losing in the round of 32 to Manchester United. • Champions of for the third time in 2019/20 – all those titles coming in the last six seasons – Midtjylland have already made history in 2020/21; they had never previously won more than one UEFA Champions League tie in a season. • Midtjylland were 1-0 winners at Ludogorets in this season's one-off second qualifying round tie before a 3-0 home defeat of Swiss side Young Boys in the next stage. They then got the better of Slavia Praha in the two-legged play- offs (0-0 a, 4-1 h), three of their second-leg goals coming from the 84th minute onwards. • The club's two previous forays into the UEFA Champions League both proved short-lived. In their 2015/16 debut they won both legs against Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar in the second qualifying round (1-0 h, 2-0 a) before being eliminated by APOEL on away goals in the next stage (1-2 h, 1-0 a); in 2018/19 they lost 2-1 at Kazakhstan's Astana in the first leg of their second qualifying round tie, going out by the same aggregate scoreline. • This season's successes mean Midtjylland have won six of their ten UEFA Champions League qualifying matches (D2 L2). The second-leg defeat of Slavia was the first time they had won without keeping a clean sheet, and was the only European game in which they have conceded this term. • In 2019/20 Ulvene played only one European tie, going down 7-3 to Scottish side Rangers in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round (2-4 h, 1-3 a). • The Danish side were four European games without a win (D1 L3), losing three in a row, before this season's successes. • Midtjylland have won their last two home European matches having managed one victory in the previous five (D2 L2). • Midtjylland are one of four teams making their group stage debut in 2020/21; Krasnodar, Rennes (both Group E), and İstanbul Başakşehir (H) are the others. • The Danish side's only previous meetings with an Italian club proved a chastening experience, Midtjylland shipping nine goals against Napoli in the 2015/16 UEFA Europa League group stage (1-4 h, 0-5 a). Mikkel Andersen was in goal for both matches, with playing every minute of the tie and coming on in the home defeat. was a second-half substitute in Naples. Atalanta • Debutants in 2019/20, this is Atalanta's second succesive UEFA Champions League appearance after they finished third in last season. • Initially it appeared as if the Bergamo club's first taste of the competition would prove brief, Atalanta losing their first three UEFA Champions League matches, against Dinamo Zagreb (0-4 a), Shakhtar Donetsk (1-2 h) and Manchester City (1-5 a). However, a point at home against City on Matchday 4 proved the catalyst for a remarkable revival, the Italian side beating Dinamo 2-0 at home and Shakhtar 3-0 away to snatch second place in the group behind City. • Even better was to follow in the round of 16, Atalanta beating Valencia 4-1 at home and 4-3 away with Josip Iličić becoming the first player to score four times in a UEFA Champions League knockout match in the latter fixture. • Atalanta looked set to continue their magical run thanks to Mario Pašalić's first-half goal in their quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, but the French side struck twice in the closing moments to end their adventure. • Defeat by Paris in Lisbon ended Atalanta's club record four-match winning streak in Europe.
