Atalanta BC will look to extend their perfect record in the Europa League group stage on Thursday, when they travel to Austria to take on Sturm Graz in the third round of fixtures.
The Italian outfit beat Rakow Czestochowa and Sporting Lisbon in their first two outings, while their hosts sit on three points thanks to a victory of their own over the former last time out.
Die Schwoazn began with a tough test at home to Sporting Lisbon, and they went ahead on the hour mark through William Boving, only to eventually come away empty-handed as Viktor Gyokeres levelled the scores and Ousmane Diomande netted the winning goal for their Portuguese visitors six minutes from time.
Christian Ilzer's side then travelled to Poland to take on Rakow Czestochowa in their second group outing with the aim of getting their points tally up and running, and they would come out on top having stood strong on that occasion for a 1-0 triumph after Boving again put them ahead.
Since then, Die Schwoazn have scored back-to-back victories to move to the top of the Austrian Bundesliga table, most recently beating Hartberg 2-1 at the weekend following the recent international break as Seedy Jatta and Alexander Prass scored first-half goals to turn the game around and seal their eighth top-flight win of the campaign.
