Liverpool is to be the better team in this matchup and should have proved to everyone that they are the better team from the first leg of the match but they failed to prove it and also made a lot of people to lose trust in them after been beaten by Atalanta with three goals to none. Tonight their fate will be decided, whether they’ll go home like Manchester City and Arsenal did yesterday to focus fully on the Premier League or continue their race in the European competition. I haven’t lost hope in them totally yet because football is unpredictable and Liverpool are also good at comebacks. Very soon we can tell if Atalanta can hold on to Liverpool’s pressure or vise versa.


West Ham prowess can’t be compared to that of Bayern Leverkusen, so I will also vote for Bayern Leverkusen to win this match. West Ham are also good but their current form isn’t enough to stop Bayern Leverkusen from qualifying to the next round of the Europa League. It’s just a matter of time from now, the team that will advance would have been decided. Bayern Leverkusen can still turn things around even in the final minutes, even when West Ham begins to lead, it is not certain they’ll have the qualification because they’ve also conceded some goals in their first leg match.

This will be the most competitive match today. Because unexpectedly Roma won the away match. Milan is not a weak team. Even compared to Roma, Milan's squad is stronger. However, Milan were defeated at home. Roma will want to draw the match in today's match. Roma can qualify for the semi finals only if they draw the match. Roma's match strategy is good and defense is also strong. Roma are more likely to qualify for the semi-finals.

I am not interested in Liverpool vs Atalanta match. The Liverpool team was badly beaten in the home match. Liverpool lost by a big margin of 3-0. Liverpool will win 4-0 today seems very unlikely to me.

Don't forget that Liverpool team is among the king of come backs they can bring in a new Origi that will score 3 goals in less than 30 minutes and it will be another history since we have seen results of that kind though not really in the Europa League but such scenario has happened countless times in the Champions League which Liverpool was one of the team that came back from 2 goals down to qualify within few minutes to the final whistle. Liverpool scoring 3 goals from away against a team like Atalanta is possible but winning the game against them is difficult because the Atalanta team is sure of scoring more goals even as Liverpool wants to score goals so I think Liverpool chances are just 30%.

For West Ham and Bayer Leverkusen game, everyone knows that Leverkusen is in decent form already so it's going to be difficult for West Ham to qualify ahead of them and seeing that they want to maintain an unbeaten record in the competition I think they will possibly go for a draw and qualify for semi finals instead of getting defeat today.

De Rossi deserves a longer contract at the club. Because he has succeeded in raising Roma's performance to a better level this season. Even in Serie A, Roma are now approaching Bologna and will be fighting for tickets to UCL.

And in the Europa League, I think Roma also has a pretty big chance of being able to repeat the same thing as last season, namely qualifying for the Final. So I think even in the match against Milan I would prefer Roma. But Milan will also fight hard because this is the only chance for Milan to win a trophy in the remainder of this season. Because Serie A already belongs to Inter. And Milan can only fight in the Europa League.

Another interesting match is between AS Roma vs AC Milan. In the first leg, AC Milan had to suffer a narrow defeat against AS Roma which meant they were trailing 1-0 on aggregate in the second leg. AS Roma has the upper hand because they have the advantage of winning 1 goal and they will also play as hosts in this match. However, they do not have a guarantee that they will be as successful as in the first leg, we have to look at the fact that AC Milan is also trying to maintain their last chance to win a trophy this season, there is no other choice for them apart from winning.

Oh yes, it is reported that De Rossi has received a new contract with AS Roma after his good performance with As Roma replacing Jose Mourinho. This actually doesn't surprise me, at first he was only appointed to handle AS Roma until the end of the season, but when he plays well then AS Roma will not miss out on something good for them, namely retaining De Rossi.

IMO, Liverpool has a big chance to win this match. but we know that it is quite a tough challenge to win an aggregate of more than 3 goals without reply, especially since the match was held in Bergamo, Italy, Atalanta's headquarters. Betting on Liverpool winning is the ideal choice, but I can't say for sure whether Liverpool will qualify. If you want to score goals, Jurgen Kloop's squad is capable of doing it. The problem is, Atalanta's reply goal. my estimation, this match can choose Over above 3 goals or handicap option -1 @72 for Liverpool.

Other matches, we agree that Leverkusen will qualify for the next round. which means, West Ham stopped until the quarter-finals. The most interesting thing for me is the Roma vs AC Milan match, this match has the potential to end in a draw. If so, Roma will automatically qualify for the next round. In this match, I will wait for the action of the AS Roma players, and my estimate is that Roma will be able to qualify for the next round.

The Liverpool team needs to start the match quickly by turning a new page and getting results with fast attacks without thinking about the goals in the previous match. They will try this, but the probability of success is really low. Moreover, the match will be played in Italy, Atalanta's own home, which is an additional factor that will make Liverpool feel pressure. Atalanta must defend the necessary defense to maintain a three-goal lead. Gian Piero Gasperini must have a good defensive game plan this evening.

It's very hard to happen. Im still wondering what line ups that's gonna be used by liverpool in the upcoming game.

Do you know that the things that really surprise me to see how bookes keep give very small odds for liverpools although it will be playing away game against atalanta. That's unbelievable thing to see.

Look at the odds here.



Atalanta is still being unfavored to win the upcoming game. It means bookies believe if liverpool can do a comeback against atalanta soon. This is a golden opportunity to bet on atalanta. I'd rather than bet on atalanta win, BTTS or atalanta qualify. These choices totally make sense.

I can also expect over 2,75 goals to happen in this game. It's getting even more complicated for liverpool to score if atalanta will be once again doing parking bus soon. Atalanta was not a weak team.

Bookies gave us golden opportunity to get decent amounts of money easily. It's fuckin nice. I expect klopp will not be so stupid like the first leg in using the compositions to the upcoming battle.

Salah must have played since the first half and this is a must.

It will be a very difficult match for Liverpool. The fact that they lost with a 3-goal difference in the first match is a huge disadvantage for them. No matter how much they have prepared for tonight's match, it will be a very difficult fight psychologically. They need to score quickly in the away match, they can achieve the result they want in the match thanks to the 2 goals they will score in the first half. We will watch a match where Atalanta will try not to concede a goal, the tempo of the match will be very high

Liverpool are won’t take any chances, they need to fill in all of their full squad in order to get early advantage of dominating the game ahead of Atalanta who are already three goals above them. The chances are low that they qualify but everything can change in the first half of the game or later in the second half if they’ve the most possessions and can convert most of their chances to goal.

West Ham and Bayern Leverkusen match is still very much in favour of Bayern Leverkusen. After their first leg win, I just see them already gone through to the next round of the competition which in my opinion will be much harder to pass through that they will now. Bayern Leverkusen won’t want the winning streak to end now, so I feel they’ll do their best to prevail in this match this night.

I think Atalanta will definitely play defensively because they have a 3 goal advantage. They will play in a low defensive line and will make it difficult for Liverpool to build attacks. Liverpool has many weaknesses which Atalanta managed to expose in the first leg. I think it will be difficult to cover all those weaknesses. Unless Klopp changes their playing tactics. I think the match will probably end with 2-1 for Liverpool or 2-0 for Atalanta. My reason is that if Atalanta managed to score the first goal I think it would destroy the mentality of the Liverpool players and there was a chance for Atalanta to end the game with a score of 2-0.

A surprising result is expected in this match, but I think Liverpool's chances of getting them through are quite slim as 3 goals at home could be a burden.

Draw is the second option if Bayer Leverkusen is unable to win. By confirming that they own the Bundesliga title, it feels like Leverkusen will play carefree at the London Stadium.
I had plans to watch this match to see what Xabi Alonso does. That is, it is possible that Xabi will close all of this competition without losing.

Some terms that will make liverpool to win the game.

1. Must make more than three goals.
2. Cleansheet
3. Three goal & cleansheet, then win penalty.

These terms are so difficult for liverpool to make it happen. No doubt that even bookies are also feeling very pessimistic with it. I personally pick atalanta to win the game. Things are getting even more easier since atalanta probably played defensively against liverpool.
Liverpool has no chance other than going all in against it.


It's hard to imagine that but westham's position is slightly better compared to the liverpool at this time. They must make draw or win with three goals and cleansheet which is impossible to be real.
This is why picking leverkusen is a must in this game considering that it is superior compared to the westham. Im sure that leverkusen is fully understand to the way westham was playing the game

True and we will be seeing so many matches to happen at the same thing. It makes me quite confusing which match to watch lol.

I agree with you i think that Liverpool will go with their main squad today to try and make a miracle comeback! But i think they will win against Atalanta but not qualify for the next stage because three goals to make up is just huge. Leverkusen will go for a draw or win to try and keep their unbeaten run so im going with them aswell in this match.

In terms of opportunities, Liverpool are now at a smaller number than before, because they have to chase 3 goals first and that is a distance that is not easy to catch, especially since Atalanta will definitely anticipate everything that Liverpool will implement in this match. In the first leg they appeared to attack but they couldn't score a goal, in the second leg they will go all out to attack Atalanta's defense to catch up with them.

Now Liverpool is actually in a dilemma, on the one hand they are prioritizing the English Premier League, but they have left it there. On the other hand, this is a form of anticipation if they fail in the English Premier League. The scenario they will have is not profitable at all, I mean they both have difficulties in the two different competitions. But they will still try as hard as they can and I don't think they have to think about the end result, they just need to work hard now and let the results be a different story.

Today we will see how Liverpool can re-open their chances as one of the favorite teams to be able to compete again, the first leg defeat is of course quite painful especially it happened at Anfield with a big enough score, I think many of here are pessimistic if Liverpool can turn things around in the second leg, Atlanta have the advantage of playing at home and certainly they have learned how to dampen the surprises that might be going Give by Liverpool in the match later, currently Atlanta is on paper to qualify for the semi-finals because they only need a draw in the game, but looking at Klopp's interview a few days ago who was quite optimistic that he could make a comeback, of course Klopp has also prepared their team well before the game starts.

The chance of a comeback is of course still there for Liverpool if they start well, and I think Klopp will no longer repeat his mistake of playing some second-tier players like the first leg in the opening minutes of the game, now the Europa League is another opportunity for Liverpool to win the trophy after the Premier League seemed to be a difficult target this season.  In addition, if Liverpool can play well and without conceding, of course, their chances of a comeback like when facing Barcelona in the Champions League in 2019 could be repeated at home to Atlanta.

Marseille will playing as a host today and in the first leg Marseille have already lost with narrow scores 2-1 from Benfica and if they want to advances to the next round then Marseille should be able to win with 2 goals margin or more and according to the odds i can see Marseille is slightly the favourite in this match and i can understand about that because probably Marseille as a host so that's why the bookmakers were placing them as the favourite and Benfica as the underdog but Marseille recent performance is really poor because they were suffering 5 losing streak in all competitions

I think Marseille in the difficult situations because seems they were unable to bounce back and about the conditions between both teams some of Marseille players are potentially will be absense because i can see at least 5 players from Marseille who got injured and for Benfica Tomas Araujo will be doubtful to played but Angel Di Maria in the good fitness and ready to play and so far Angel Di Maria is Benfica top scorer in Europa League and about the outcomes of this match considering Marseille previous performance who very poor i think there is possibility for Benfica to win this match and the odds for Benfica win is very good to bets @2.90

They will not give up and will fight for their own chance to have a position in semi final round but their chance is not too good. Three goal difference is too much at this level and they will have to play home away in Bergamo. Atalanta is not a big club but if they can beat Liverpool with three goals at Anfield stadium, I believe they will be strong enough to secure this big advantage at their home stadium.

They have another support from not too good form of Liverpool recent matches. Atalanta will only need to start this match with maximum carelessness in their approach by which they will reduce risk from Liverpool a lot.

Sometimes football is very hard to predict. It is really full of surprises; some unbelievable things do happen sometimes. But as for the Atalanta match against Liverpool, the favorite team to qualify to the next level should be Atalanta. They really have a great opportunity to advance to the next level with the three goals Atalanta have down. So, from my own observations, even if Liverpool win the game, I don't think it may be possible for them to win with 3-0 because Atalanta also has good attacks tactics. So, I believe even if Liverpool will win the game, it will not be with many goals.

And as for Bayer Leverkusen, with how well their performance is now, I don’t think West Ham can stop them from advancing to the semi-final. It's very clear that Leverkusen is in greater form than West Ham. West Ham may give them a tough time, but Leverkusen will find its way to the semi-final. Let's see what will happen at the end of the day.

Liverpool's chances of qualifying are still below 50% because they are 3 goals behind this is quite heavy and if 3 goals are owned without reply then it is something that cannot be believed, but I know anything in the match later hopefully there will be surprises.

I don't see West Ham going through, Leverkusen are on fire they will continue to win without losing maybe the minimum result is a draw that Leverkusen wants.

The match is 4 hours away, so the line-ups won't be shown now, but I feel Liverpool will field their entire main squad so it could be Liverpool winning even if it's not above 3 goals.
