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

Dive into Ladbrokes' 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.

Well, that was a bit of a stalemate, wasn't it? Atalanta and Slavia Praha played out a goalless draw at home, which might come as a bit of a surprise given Atalanta's recent form. They were coming off a solid 2-1 win against Club Brugge, so you'd think they'd have the momentum to push for a win here. But credit where it's due, Slavia Praha, fresh off a tough 0-3 loss to Inter, managed to hold their own and keep a clean sheet. No standout performances to shout about, but both teams will be pleased with a point, especially Slavia who managed to end their losing streak.

The game itself was a bit of a chess match, with neither side willing to take too many risks. Atalanta had more of the ball, but they couldn't quite find that killer pass or finish. Slavia, on the other hand, were disciplined and organised, frustrating Atalanta's attacking efforts. It's not the result either team would have hoped for, but in the grand scheme of things, it's a point gained rather than two lost. Both teams will need to regroup and come back stronger in their next outings.

Looking at the stats, it's clear why the game ended in a draw. Atalanta had 56% possession and managed six corners to Slavia's three, but they just couldn't convert that dominance into goals. What's interesting is the difference in successful dribbles, with Atalanta at 54% and Slavia at just 25%. That suggests Atalanta were trying to be more creative, but Slavia's defence was up to the task. The yellow card count was relatively low, with Atalanta picking up three and Slavia two, showing it was a fairly disciplined affair.

The stats do align with the result, as neither team was able to break the deadlock despite Atalanta's slight edge in possession and set pieces. It's a testament to Slavia's resilience that they managed to keep Atalanta at bay, even if they didn't have as much of the ball. Both teams made a decent number of substitutions, with Atalanta making five and Slavia four, but none of those changes made the difference on the night.

Unfortunately, there were no key moments to report from this match, as the data provided doesn't list any specific incidents. This lack of key moments is a reflection of the game itself, which was a bit of a non-event in terms of goals, assists, or major disciplinary actions. Both teams will be disappointed they couldn't create more clear-cut chances.

Without any standout moments, it's hard to pinpoint where the game was won or lost. Both teams will need to look at their performances and see where they can improve, especially in the final third. It's a reminder that sometimes, it's not just about the big moments, but the overall performance that counts.

Atalanta lined up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Marco Carnesecchi in goal and a back three of Odilon Kossounou, Isak Hien, and Berat Djimsiti. The midfield was anchored by Marten de Roon and Éderson, with Davide Zappacosta and Lorenzo Bernasconi providing width. Up top, Charles De Ketelaere, Nikola Krstović, and Ademola Lookman were tasked with breaking down Slavia's defence.

There were no real surprises in the lineup, but the five substitutions made by Atalanta suggest they were trying to find a spark. Unfortunately, none of the changes made a significant impact on the game. Overall, it was a solid performance from the team, but they'll be disappointed they couldn't find a way to win.

Slavia Praha opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Jakub Markovic between the sticks and a back three of Tomas Vlcek, David Zima, and Jan Boril. The midfield was made up of David Moses, Christos Zafeiris, Oscar, and Youssoupha Mbodji, with Lukas Provod and Vasil Kusej playing just behind the lone striker, Tomas Chory.

Like Atalanta, Slavia made a few substitutions, with four changes throughout the game. Again, no real surprises in the lineup, but the team will be pleased with their defensive solidity. Markovic, in particular, had a strong game, as we'll discuss in the Man of the Match section.

Jakub Markovic is Ladbrokes' Man of the Match, and it's easy to see why. The Slavia Praha goalkeeper made five crucial saves, keeping a clean sheet and ensuring his team left with a point. He also contributed with one clearance and one punch, showing his all-around ability. Markovic's performance was the difference between a draw and a loss for Slavia, and he thoroughly deserves this recognition.
