They defended well against Liverpool and they have had an amazing efficiency level on that day. They are in great shape and were able to confirm their uptrend in the Coppa Italia today. I am sure they wish they would have done better in their domestic league as chances are shrinking to finish in the top 4, but there is still a lot to play for for them and a backdoor chance to make it into the Champions League if they win the Europa League! Very ambitious, but not impossible!

Don't assume Roma are weak this season because they have worked on improving their quality quite well. Roma was even able to beat AC Milan to advance to the semifinals and we have to pay as much attention as possible to what Roma has shown this season. Even though Leverkusen are very favorites in this meeting, I still think that the strength of these two teams is very equal.

I think Roma, who were disappointed last season because they failed in the European league, will improve their performance this season. Together with De Rossi Roma want to chase the European League trophy, perhaps Leverkusen will have to play more carefully in the first leg. Between the players on both teams, of course these two teams have a lot of pretty good players this season. Lukaku of course wants to present the European League trophy to Roma fans.

Atalanta defended well. They played the way they were supposed to and managed to hold on for the epic 3-0 win. They must be very happy right now because they eliminated a tough opponent, a team that was considered the favorite for the cup, Liverpool. This gave them confidence and why shouldn't their next opponent be Leverkusen? This year could be a dream season for Atalanta. They can repeat the joy experienced by Sevilla this year.

Actually messed up their chances, they had always had the lead like you did mentioned untill this point where they needed that extra effort to pull through to the next stage of the league of the league which could have increased their chances of winning the league this season but then they allowed the surprise defecates do more harm to them than boosting their morale and drive to wanting to win the league this season.

After i saw Liverpool at some stage of the Europa just after the group stage lost their game, i started having the feeling that they may likely not make it to the finals because some of those losses where absolutely unnecessary and could be avoided but then they were unable to avoid it well enough to the point they are now been relegated out of the league even with their victory in their last game. Klop needed to come up with a different strategy that would yield the kind of results he wanted out of that game from the first leg knowing that they are at a critical time in the league but then he rather risked it and now couldn't make up for it.

And at this time Liverpool is not even certain about their domestic league again as they were before making it look like there are chances they may not get to lift any trophy by the end of this season after all the struggle and excellent results in the early times of the season which was making them appear like they were very ready enough and are possibly getting to win the trophy without having to stress much because they had the form and the depth to be able to pull such through.

The problem is, Liverpool lost in the first leg when Liverpool also played at home, with a defeat at home with a big score of 3-0 of course it is difficult to be able to turn things around. Although indeed, I also strongly believe Liverpool are able to turn things around in the second leg but anyway, the fact is Liverpool are still missing some of their key players due to injury. With that factor, it remains mission impossible for Liverpool to make a comeback and even, after Salah managed to make a goal from a penalty kick I think Liverpool will really be able to make a comeback. Because anyway, Salah goal in that second leg also occurred at the beginning of the first half of the match but anyway, in the end Atalanta really managed to maintain the aggregate victory it had obtained, until finally Liverpool was eliminated.

Unexpectedly, Liverpool were eliminated in the quarter finals, even though previously many were favorites for Klopp fleet to reach the final with Leverkusen. So Leverkusen is now automatically the most favorite club out of the three other contestants. Leverkusen chances of winning the European League are quite high. Until now, Xabi fleet has consistently maintained an unbeaten record, where it seems that Roma will not be able to beat them.

This season Leverkusen is one level above Roma, in many ways the Bundesliga champions are superior to Roma, one of the most striking is mentality. It's true, De Rossi has indeed taken Roma in a better direction, but the latest defeat to Bologna shows that they are not fully ready to face the pressure. In terms of preparation, Leverkusen looks more relaxed, while Roma must try to stabilize their performance in the Europa League and Serie A.

The match between Roma and Leverkusen will rely on home and away matches, it seems that both teams will appear more dominant when acting as hosts. However, Leverkusen actually deserved and deserved to advance to the final, Xabi succeeded in instilling a winning mentality into each of his players. We don't mean to underestimate Roma, we know they were finalists last season, where they also had the same chance of making Leverkusen taste its first defeat.

We all have very strong reasons to bet Liverpool as Europa League champions this season on the betting exchange, but isn't it not that hope can not always come true even though there are indeed many factors that make Liverpool the favorite to win at this time, I personally have also favored Liverpool as champions and even when the Europa League starts I don't even consider Leverkusen as a title contender this season,  But in fact what we predicted before is actually different from the reality now if Liverpool had to be eliminated early, so at this time of course there is no other team that might be worthy of accompanying Leverkusen later in the final other than Atlanta.

Atlanta's performance was indeed amazing when defeating Liverpool, and when we didn't expect Liverpool to be eliminated from the Europa League in the match, didn't we also never expect Atlanta to be the team that successfully destroyed Liverpool this season?
Compared to Marseille, of course I think Atlanta will be one of the finalists of the Europa League this season with Leverkusen and if the two teams meet in the final, of course, I will not try to bet on  for who the team will win because indeed the result of the game will be difficult for us to guess.

Fatal mistake did by Liverpool on the first leg match over confidence against not favorite team Atalanta, easily won over 3-0 on first leg match exactly as home match for Liverpool. Its very good capital for Atalanta bigger score winning on the first leg make their tactical more defensive how to secure three goals on first leg. Atalanta defensive tactician effective on second leg match although conceded one goal and loss but success qualifying to semifinal round with under dog teams.

Atalanta helped Serie A teams get more spot for playing in Champion League next season, indeed in semifinal round without any Serie A teams but Europe League achieving after Roma and Atalanta qualifying to semifinal make Serie A has 5 participants teams for next season.

Making such bets in tournaments where there is a playoff stage is always an unjustified risk. Even if we take not the random League of Europe (where the motivation of clubs is always in question) but the Champions League, then, if I’m not mistaken, City was the clear favorite in every season over the past 10 years, but they won the title only once.
It seems to me that it is more profitable to bet on individual matches and not on the first or second game, but on who qualifies. For example, betting on an outsider after the first game (if he loses by no more than one goal) is always good.

Of course, many people bet on Liverpool because Liverpool is one of the favorite teams to win the European league. But in reality they have to accept reality after losing badly to Atalanta. Atalanta is not good in the domestic league, but in the European league they played very impressively, especially when they beat Liverpool.

Of course, after beating the favorite team, Atalanta has a big chance of beating Marseille in the semifinals. On the other hand, Leverkusen will still be the strongest candidate to win the Europa League trophy. As Roma is good but Leverkusen is better this season. So my prediction for the ideal Europa League final this season is Atalanta vs Leverkusen.

Liverpool always have the lead, Jurgen Klopp is there to make corrections each time something goes wrong but the best always come out topping the table. Liverpool have experienced surprise defeats and this is probably not going to be suitable for most outstanding teams. Liverpool have the odds of winning the Europa League but they jeopardize their chances and watched them eliminated from the Eruropa League, although Atalanta was not also here to joke but meant business.

No, not really. When they lost 0-3 at Anfield Road, I was quite sure that it must be over for Liverpool. I know they once made a miracle happen when they turned the game against Barcelona around after losing the first round 0-3 in Barcelona. But playing in Italy against a team like Atalanta when you are 0-3 down (in your home stadium), I think that has never happened in UEFA history. That's why it is a bit mind boggling that you still thought Liverpool should make it to the next round after that devastating loss.

But Liverpool had some trouble here and there. They haven't been as dominant, which is sad as they had a big chance to write history for a last time with Klopp. Now all titles are at risk suddenly.

I also would have thought Liverpool will win the quarterfinals against Atalanta even after conceding three goals in the first leg of the game. They were the better team and a comeback wouldn’t be a surprise to anyone at this stage in football again. Atalanta understood the game better and knew what they were coming for in the second leg and that was why they played a defensive game even after Liverpool was still leading throughout the second leg match. It was a tactical game and it paid them well. Marseille should be a more simpler team for Atalanta to scale through, they looks stronger and better than them. Even if we can’t come to a conclusion now, Atalanta is the better team to win in this game

Marseille appeared surprising this season to make up for the semi-finals even though their performance in the league is not good, although they have a small chance but still Marseille might be able to give us a surprise in the game against Atlanta later, although Atlanta managed to eliminate Liverpool in the Europa League championship competition this season but in my opinion it has not made Atlanta the favorite to win, At the moment, the actual performance of Atlanta and Marseille can be said to be balanced so that the chances of both teams to qualify for the final are of course still 50/50.

Roma and Leverkusen are of course matches that can be said to be very exciting, before I never thought if Roma could go this far and even I more hoped that Milan would reach the semi-finals, but in fact what I predicted was wrong, so I think with Roma current ability of course it would be able to make it difficult for Leverkusen, but even so I was more inclined to see if Leverkusen would be one of the teams that made it to the league final Europe this season.

After Liverpool were eliminated from this competition, the favorites to win the Europa League this season turned to Bayer Leverkusen who are having an extraordinary season with Xabi Alonso. Leverkusen can focus more on the Europa League after successfully locking in the Bundesliga title. Leverkusen very consistent level of play means that other teams have not been able to beat it this season.
An exciting match will certainly be presented at the Olimpico, Roma as the home team will try to give Leverkusen their first defeat while making their job easier in the second leg. On the other hand, Leverkusen, who is in high euphoria after winning the Bundesliga title, is certainly very motivated to beat Roma. Leverkusen, who is trying to win the Treble this season, will make Roma suffer another defeat like when they were humiliated by Bologna.

regarding the Marseille vs Atalanta match, to be honest, I don't doubt Marseille, but I feel that Marseille chances are a little smaller after comparing the previous performance between Atalanta and Marseille, veryone will know how great Atalanta performance was in being able to get rid of Liverpool and that is a sign that Atalanta has a chance of getting rid of Marseille, even though it will be a very fierce match.
and regarding the match between Roma who will face Leverkusen, it seems that there is no need to predict much and we already know the result.
as we saw yesterday in the series A match, Roma was defeated by Bologna who were in a position above Roma and this is proof that no matter how strong Roma is at the moment, the quality of Roma players will not be able to match the quality of Leverkusen players.

I mean we all underestimated them to be fair. Up until like group stages of the cup, they didn't look all that convincing, they were good to be fair but not this great. They have like 45 games without a loss, that seems like one of the biggest streaks in the world, and that's why I think it is clear that they may end up with something much bigger.

I do get that it may not feel like it is going to be a major game changer for long term, I do not think that they are going to be the new Bayern of Bundesliga and go on to win many league titles, I think they will not be good for too long. But, that still doesn't mean they will lose here, I think they are going to end up with a win here and get the cup for sure, they are just too good to lose.

AS Roma have a bit chance of winning Bayer Leverkusen in the game, but what we need to consider is that the game is a home and away game, and if AS Roma fail to act smart in their home game, they will definitely lose it to the finals because Bayer Leverkusen want to have a chance at the finals. Also, as you mentioned, they were battling before with Liverpool, but when Liverpool decided to lose guide and lost again to Atalanta, they got knocked out and didn’t make it to the semifinals. Bayer Leverkusen will like to go to the finals; at least they will fill the joy, but AS Roma won’t even allow them. 
 
So to me, if we are going for the home game, I have already put it that AS Roma will be the winner, while I can’t still say at the second leg, so it depends because I know AS Roma won’t enjoy losing a home game, and I have a belief in De Rossi that he will try his possibly best to see him win and make it to the final. If possible, he will like to go home with the trophy, which I believe they can get.

There are only 4 matches left and I think Leverkusen is completely focused on finishing the league undefeated. There will be a fight for second place between Bayern Munich and Stuttgart, but I do not think Bayern Munich will lose this fight. At worst, I think he will finish second in the league. With Xabi, Leverkusen is one of the perfect teams in Europe this year.

Even though the chances are quite small because there are only four teams left in this competition, this will also make it easier for everyone to guess which team will win the Europa League this season. I still have hope for Bayer Leverkusen to win this competition because of their performance which cannot be beaten by any team to date. But in this semifinal there will definitely be a more exciting match because the teams that have not been eliminated are the best teams with quite good performance so far.
