Current Form
Atalanta is in great form. They have won seven of their last nine games. The last game they lost was against Juventus last week in the final of the Coppa Italia. Atalanta has won the last four games at home in Serie A. They are currently 5th spot in Serie A, which would lead them into the Champions League next season. Atalanta has three points more than AS Roma and just two points less than Juventus and Bologna. Gian Piero Gasperini´s men have also played one game less than those teams that are ranked above them. In their last game, last week, Atalanta won against Lecce 2-0. With that win, Atalanta secured Champions League qualification. Gasperini made two changes after the break, and they paid off almost instantly as Charles De Ketelaere scored the first goal of the game immediately after being subbed in. Just a few minutes later, Gianluca Scamacca scored a great goal and secured the win for Atalanta. So far in the Europa League, Atalanta have managed to defeat Sporting, Liverpool and Marseille in the knockout phase en route to the final. Right now, Atalanta are looking to stop Leverkusen and to become the first Italian team to lift the Europa League trophy.
Bayer Leverkusen are having one of the craziest runs in their football history. They are just two games away from an undefeated treble-winning season. Xabi Alonso is doing wonders with his team. In their last Bundesliga game, Bayer Leverkusen won against Augsburg 2-1. With that victory, Bayer Leverkusen became the first side in Bundesliga history to complete an undefeated season. They also took their all-time European record unbeaten streak to 51 games across all competitions. En route to the Europa League final, Bayer Leverkusen won against Qarabağ, West Ham and AS Roma in the knockout phase. They just need to survive two more games to complete their historical season. After this game, Xabi Alonso’s men had to play their last game of this season against Kaiserslautern in the DFB Pokal final.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Leverkusen are big favorites in this matchup. We all know how well Atalanta has played in the Europa League this season. They have already managed to knock out the biggest favorites Liverpool in the quarterfinals. We believe that they have a decent chance against Leverkusen tonight in Dublin.
That being said, Atalanta to win or draw is a value bet.
