This is the first ever Champions League match to be hosted in Bergamo, as the Gewiss Stadium finally got the all-clear from UEFA after Atalanta played last season’s fixtures at San Siro in Milan.
La Dea won their opening game of the group, 4-0 away to Midtjylland, but these efforts took their toll with a second consecutive Serie A defeat to Sampdoria.
Coach Gian Piero Gasperini confessed he’d over-done it with the squad rotation and keeps changes to a minimum here.
Marten de Roon, Mattia Caldara and Cristiano Piccini are injured, so Mario Pasalic steps in with Remo Freuler in midfield.
Gomez supports Duvan Zapata and Ilicic, with Luis Muriel and Ruslan Malinovskyi ready to come off the bench.
Ajax lost their opening group game 1-0 at home to Liverpool, so this is already a major stepping stone on the way to qualification.
They hit the headlines this weekend with an extraordinary 13-0 win over VVV Venlo in the Eredivisie, where Lassina Traore scored five goals.
He leads the way again with support from Dusan Tadic, David Neres and Antony, but no Quincy Promes.
Injured midfielder Mohammed Kudus misses out for coach Erik Ten Hag.
