Union St. Gillois

The reigning champions of Belgium are doing quite well in defending their title. For 22 games of the Jupile League, “Union” was able to score 46 points, thanks to which it is now on the 1st place in the tournament table. However, the distance from the closest pursuer, “Sint Traiden”, is only 1 point. In the national cup, the team qualified for the 1/2 final, where they will play against “Charleroi”.

Atalanta

The season for the Bergamo team is quite chaotic after the summer (and later November) change of coach. For 22 rounds of Serie A, the “blue and black” were able to score 35 points, which now allow them to be in 7th place in the tournament table. “Atalanta” is 8 points behind the top 3. In the Italian Cup, the team qualified for the quarterfinals, where they will play against Juventus.

For 7 matches of the Champions League, the Italians were able to score 13 points, thanks to which they are now placed in the 13th position of the tournament table. However, the team is only separated from the top 8 by a worse difference in scored/concealed goals.
