There is nothing more that can be expected from Atalanta at this time, while Atalanta's performance has started to decline after appearing several times in Serie A matches without getting positive results, while Liverpool is currently in a very strong condition without having to use much strategy, I think Klopp is still very ready to continue the positive trend at UEL this season.

No matter how big Atalanta's efforts are to penetrate Liverpool's big fortress, it still won't be that easy and I am sure that Liverpool will qualify.
Without having to explain anything, everyone here can already differentiate between Atalanta and Liverpool, which club is the best and deserves to qualify, while in terms of performance, the positive trend that Liverpool has when they are more prominent is clearly visible as a guarantee of victory to qualify for the next round.
Just look at how Atalanta's performance in the domestic league is so bad that they were only able to get 5 wins or you could say they experienced a decline in performance.
I am sure that in the 1st leg Liverpool will score big and lock that score in the 2nd leg.

I even see it as been erroneous comparing Liverpool and Atlanta but then never to wori it may possibly happen that this may turn out to be their last time they will be meeting in the Europa this season because Liverpool is definitely not going to let Atlanta stop them having come this far in the Europa this season and considering the desperation that Liverpool has got towards this trophy,

Liverpool are definitely not going to give a chance to Atlanta to win, most probably this may be the end of the journey for Atlanta in the Europa this season they have actually tried enough to have struggled through the Europa group stage up unto this point and has been able to manage to win through some matches but then they have meet the team that's way above all other team they have faced so far im the Europa this season so they are definitely going to need a different approach to be able to get to meet up or be able to contend Liverpool.

Klop and his boys may likely humiliate Atlanta again because they lat time they met , Liverpool win by five goals and this time Liverpool appear to be in a much better form and even better team depth that will be able to tackle than against all odds so I'm very optimistic about Liverpool much more than Atlanta and I hope Liverpool will get the best from this game and win the  ga.e so they get a better chance in the Europa.

I would guess that they are doing the best they possibly could, and that usually results with them doing as well as they possibly could. I think europa "should" be easy for them and definitely looks like it is something that will make it better for them, that is the thing about the situation they are in right now.

I know that it doesn't feel like something major, but they should really care about it. I know that people will look at this and think that they are going to end up with the win but there is also a very likely chance that they will just not care about it and play not the best players and end up losing because of it as well. Lets see how it will end , I hope they bring their 100% and get the win they deserve.

It'll be disrespectful for anyone to think that Marseille doesn't stand any chance of winning the UEFA Europa League competition this season because when it comes to European football, Marseille is one of the most successful clubs among the remaining teams that are still remaining in the competition. The truth is that Marseille haven't been as impressive as some of the other teams that are still remaining in the competition since the start of the current season and that's why I think it'll be very difficult for them to win the competition this season.
Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the two clubs that's been tipped by many to win the UEFA Europa League trophy this season and that's because the two teams have been exceptionally impressive this season both in the competition and in their respective leagues while for Marseille, they're not even anywhere in the top four of the French Ligue 1 table. Next month, we'll get to know which teams will progress to the semi finals and that I think will further narrow down which team we should consider as favorites

I do not intend to underestimate one of the representative teams from the French League, if Marseille is able to win the Europa League competition. in fact, we all know that their probability is very slim. however, that doesn't mean they don't have a chance at all. Moreover, football is unique and difficult for us to predict. On April 12, the quarter-final matches will be held, one of which is the match between Benfica vs Marseille. in the meeting of these two teams, the home team Bencifa was more favored than Marseille. I think it's natural, because Benfica is playing at their home ground. however, in terms of temporary betting options, the odds are not that far apart. so, theoretically this match could end in a draw or Marseille would be able to beat the home team even though it would cost them hard work. interestingly, under the tutelage of Jean-Louis Gasset, Marseille experienced changes and were also quite productive in terms of scoring goals. in fact, if you can refer to several of Marseille's matches in their Domestic League competition. at least, the system implemented by Jean-Louis Gasset is quite effective even though we cannot yet use it as a benchmark. plus, the coach from Francis promotes offensive football. much different when Marseille was handled by Marseillo, even Gennaro Gattuso. there seems to be a chemistry between players and coaches, systems and patterns. that's why, now Marseille has quite good changes. well, before Marseille visit Benfica's home ground. To find out more, I want to know how Marseille played against Paris Saint-Germain and visited Lillie's home ground. after that, I will speculate on the quarter-final match between Benfica vs Marseille. so, let's just wait and see how the squad coached by Jean-Louis Gasset plays the match.

In terms of quality, Liverpool is indeed better than Atalanta this season and it cannot be denied that Liverpool will be very favored to advance to the semifinals, but the Liverpool team also cannot completely underestimate Atalanta because in a football match anything is possible to happen and also in terms of quality. Atalanta, which is slumping in its domestic league, is showing a different performance in the Europa League, so Liverpool should be wary of it.

If Atalanta lose it won't be a big surprise because basically they are not favourites, but I'm sure this match will be fierce and Liverpool will win with great difficulty.
And it is also possible for surprises to occur. This is the Europa League where there have always been surprises.

There are a lot of adjectives in your post that I strongly disagree with. First of all, it wasn't "a little" unexpected that Sevilla was going to win that title again. It was completely unexpected and I can't recall anyone saying that Sevilla could win the title when it was still the group stage or the round of 16. Nobody really mentioned Sevilla once.

Secondly, you say that they "simply" repeated it as if it was no big deal for them to win that title. I am not sure what you base that assumption on, but it was not a simple title for them nor was it a simple repetition of what they accomplished in the years before.

The final between Liverpool and Leverkusen only looks logical if the drawings don't throw a spanner in the works and they play against each other in an earlier round. Two requirements: they both have to win the next round and they can't meet in the rounds before the final. I hope for that to become true, but no way to predict that final exactly for those two reasons.

I even think that Atalanta has met an opponent who is not equal to them in the quarter-finals of the Europa League this time because after all Liverpool will still be the favorite for many people if the opponent is Atalanta. So this is a very real obstacle for Atalanta to advance to the next round because as you said, Liverpool will not allow any team to beat them now in order to enter the semi-finals of the Europa League. So I wouldn't be surprised if Atalanta lost the quarter-final match because it wouldn't be a significant surprise.

Yes, their presence in the quarter-finals indicates that they are not that bad, but as said here, their problem in this round is because they have to face Liverpool, who are one of the favorites to become champions this season, so it is not an easy task. For Atalanta to be able to move to the next round because they have to face big and strong clubs.

But even so, I will still give them a chance to qualify, even though their chances are quite small. However, there could be a big surprise because they were very lucky in this match, for example.

Realistically, we would all say Liverpool will win this match, whether it's an easy win or a difficult win. Because what is clear is that they are strong candidates in this match, and not even just in this match, but they are strong candidates to become champions this season. Let's see what Atalanta can do in this difficult match. Will they give us a surprise that we didn't predict before, or will the match go as we currently predict? Can't wait to see the match.

Liverpool has the advantage in this match and can win it to advance to the Europa League semifinals. Football can be an extremely unpredictable game, with what everyone sees and expects changing as the unexpected occurs. Even though it happens infrequently, we cannot rule out the possibility that it will occur in this game as well. Atalanta is not a weak team, but their chances of qualifying from this stage are slim, and their statistical performance cannot be compared to Liverpool's. Whatever the outcome of this game may turn out to be, I am more confident that Liverpool will win this match than Atalanta even coming close to winning it.

I don't know how many times you've watched Marseille this season, but in general I don't like their game at all. Their chances of winning this trophy are slim to none, and the betting odds reflect that. Marseille should have a much more valuable squad and better players, there is clearly a regression. Apart from Aubameyang, they don't have a notable goal scorer. When you can't score goals, you can't win no matter how good your defense is. Maybe this style of play can help them progress in the cup, but it takes a lot more than that to win the cup.
I've watched more games of Benfica this season and I can say that they are ahead of Marseille in terms of play. Both teams are close, there's not a huge gap between them, but Benfica is a little bit more prominent.

Because this is Klopp's last season, of course he will give everything in the Europa League competition to win the title so that his farewell to the team will be even sweeter at the end of the season.

Against Atalanta there shouldn't be any difficulties for Liverpool because if you look at it overall these two teams have different performances and Liverpool is much better than Atalanta.
However, that doesn't mean that Atalanta can be underestimated either, every team that has been in the quarter-finals is a strong team that has gone through a long process and Atalanta has succeeded in going through that process to finally be here.

Atalanta's performance is actually not as good as last season, in Serie A they were only able to achieve 1 win from their last 5 matches, this indicates that they are not doing well now and their ability to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League this season is not always due to strength but motivation those who are high on different stages will reap different performance.

Even though if fr example Marseille managed to beat Benfica, there was still no chance for Marseille to win the title. After all, even though Marseille qualified for the semifinals, the fact is that based on the existing chart the winner between Marseille and Benfica will meet Atalanta or Liverpool in the semifinals. Therefore, if the scenario is that Liverpool still remains the leading candidate to win the trophy then of course Marseille will meet Liverpool in the semifinals. Thus, then I believe there is no chance for Marseille to be able to win the trophy and also, basically Benfica is a strong and good team too and of course it will still be difficult for Marseille to be able to beat Benfica.

After all, this season Benfica is also in a good trend in the Portugal League, because at this moment Benfica is in the race for the Portuguese League trophy competing with Sporting ranked first and second at the moment there . Therefore, of course it is natural that Marseille is one of the teams that has the lowest chance of winning the Europa League trophy.

Marseille have so far continued to experience a decline in performance in the French league and I think maybe they will be different in the Europa League at the moment, because indeed the performance of a team will often be different when playing in Europe than in the league, for the league it is clear that Marseille will be difficult to reach the zone of European competition even though they are one strip below the current Conference League zone,  But the tight competition that occurs to fight for a position in the European zone is of course impossible for Marseillle to be able to end the season in the European competition zone next season.

That's why maybe Marseille will fight hard enough to win the Europa League this season, because then at least they have other alternative ways to qualify for the Champions League automatically next season, but realistically for me see if indeed Marseille might find it difficult to go further in the Europa League this season let alone Benfica is not an opponent they should underestimate, So far we know how Benfica became a team that is quite strong in Europe and even with their experience playing in European competitions so far they often cause nightmares for their opponents.

Marseille still has a chance of qualifying for the semifinals. but their opponents are Benfica who are not bad so far. If Marseille can overthrow Benfica, their chances of winning the Europa League title will certainly be greater.
Marseille is not that good in the Domestic League either. but I hope they show their best when facing Benfica. The first leg might be difficult for Marseille, but maybe they can hold Benfica to a draw and respond in the second leg.

Atalanta's performance in the UEL was relatively good because he was able to reach the quarter-finals and against an EPL team which was a big obstacle for Atalanta in this round, Liverpool is clearly superior in this match because Liverpool's performance is very strong this season and he will try hard so that there is no the team that stopped them from reaching the final. Liverpool will eliminate teams in every round somehow, Kloop is very ambitious to get the UEL trophy at the end of his time and that will happen if Liverpool continues to appear consistent and doesn't make any mistakes.

I amazed to see Marseille performance when they can able to beat Villarreal 4-0 in the first leg of round of 16 but unfortunately after that match Marseille have to lost at Villarreal home ground for second leg and at Ligue 1 too last week Marseille lost from Rennes so these records is proven Marseille performance is still not fully stable and after considering these factor too i wouldn't considers them as strong contender for the title because in my opinion although probably Jean-Louis Gasset can bringing positive impact for Marseille but i think Marseille still haven't found their shape

Marseille has too many issues this season even at Ligue 1 Marseille have to hard struggling to find their shape and about the match against Benfica if i am not mistaken if Marseille can able to beat Benfica they will facing the winner of match between Liverpool vs Atalanta but i think Marseille journey in this competition will be stopped at quarterfinal because my prediction is Benfica who can able to eliminate them and advances to the semifinal matches

Atalanta is not Sparta Prag. So it will be a different game for Liverpool. Liverpool is currently in top form and highly motivated to secure a win in the competition to give its coach the best possible farewell present they can, after they got eliminated from FA cup. Although Atalanta has shown promise, their inconsistent performance may not be enough to overcome Liverpool's momentum, both at home and away. Regardless, Klopp is determined to lead Liverpool to victory in his final season with the team.

Atalanta will not be able to withstand Liverpool pressure when the time comes. This is because Liverpool is in their super form, and they need to win Atalanta for them to remain in the league. Currently, we can see that it is only Liverpool and Leverkusen that I can say will reach the final stage, amd that makes Atalanta incapable to stop them from victory both at home  and away. Klopp needs more trophy for him to use an a sendforth gift to Liverpool, because this is his last season with them. No matter how good Atalanta is, which I know that their performance is not consistent, they can never win Liverpool this season.

What do you think on Marseille's chances to win the Europa League title??    They are the least chance given team together with Atalanta (the odds must be like 21.00).

After having a really bad time period with Gennaro Gattuso for some time he has left his place for Jean-Louis Gasset. The new coach has made a quite positive impact on the players so far. There is a serious improvement in the results and the way they play in the attacking area as well. If we see a surprise winner according to the odds I would expect it to be Marseille.

Frankfurt and Villarreal are some winner examples from the recent years. Why wouldn't we see another different winner this year? I'm favouring Liverpool normally but let's see.
