Champions League line-ups: Union Saint-Gilloise vs. Atalanta

Atalanta could go straight into the Champions League Round of 16 if they beat Union Saint-Gilloise, as Ademola Lookman gets his first start of 2026 with Nikola Krstovic and Lazar Samardzic.

It kicks off at the RSC Anderlecht Stadium at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Napoli-Chelsea, Monaco-Juventus and Borussia Dortmund-Inter on the Liveblog.

La Dea had been in the top eight and cruising towards qualification last week until they fell asleep, conceding three goals in quick succession for a 3-2 home defeat to Athletic Club.

They are still higher up the table than any of the other Italian teams, which is remarkable considering their budget and that Raffaele Palladino replaced sacked Ivan Juric.

January signing Giacomo Raspadori is cup-tied for this phase, with Raoul Bellanova injured.

Lookman therefore gets his first start of 2026, having missed most of the month at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Krstovic and Samardzic complete the attack, with Charles De Ketelaere, Nicola Zalewski and Gianluca Scamacca on the bench.

The Belgians have impressive Canada international striker Promise David suspended, while Kevin Rodriguez is injured.

They therefore reshuffle the attack, but Anan Khalaili is one to watch, having scored two goals in seven Champions League games.

Union SG are in their first ever Champions League campaign and still looking for a positive home result, losing 4-0 to Newcastle and Inter, plus 3-2 to Olympique Marseille.

They are in 31st place, so at real risk of early elimination.

Union Saint-Gilloise: Scherpen; Patris, Mac Allister, Burgess, Sykes; Zorgane, Van De Perre, Khalaili; Guilherme Smith, Florucz, Ait El Hadj

Atalanta: Sportiello; Kossounou, Hien, Ahanor; Zappacosta, Musah, Ederson, Bernasconi; Samardzic, Lookman; Krstovic
