All this are just everyone’s view and how they feel the match is going to end up base on their performances so far in the league and also how the perform in their domestic leagues. No one is bringing the chances of Roma winning the trophy because of their inconsistent performance in the league games. But Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool have been the discussion all through as they both stand a chance to win the cup and are both doing excellently well in their domestic games and are still in good positions.

 As you’ve predicted, Liverpool could lose to Atalanta and also, Bayern Leverkusen could lose to West Ham United. This is a very delicate situation for all teams in tge competition. We will wait to see the surprises the game has for us because that’s what football is all about and makes it fun to watch. If any of the two most talked team are eliminated sooner, we won’t be able to watch a final match between Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool, which could have been their first meeting in football.

Just like in the champions league where Manchester city and Real Madrid has been both fixed to play against each other in a game meanwhile we were all expecting that they would be meeting in the finals but it's funny how they happen to be meeting at the quarter finals not even the semifinals thereby stopping one of the teams from getting to the finals a.d like you have stated, such could be possible in the Europa too.

I understand it's very possible that Liverpool and Leverkusen may not get to meet in the finals but then I don't think the council in charge of Europa would want that to happen because they know how well the anticipation on Liverpool and Leverkusen meeting in the finals has been on most persons an how much view such finals nis definitely going to get and that alone will keep attention to the Europa till the end of the Europa, except either of these team naturally happens to exit before the finals I think it will be best to allow them meet in the finals and the best teams should win.

I'm aware the Italians would want to try their best such as AC Milan would ant to contend so hard but this season isn't looking like one of such season where they can actually just come and hope to achieve such as the pressure and competition that will be seen in this season will actually be quiet different from that which has been seen in previous Europa where the Italians were able to show their prowess.

It is very clear that Liverpool is the favorite team to win the match. Even, Liverpool is the favorite to win the UEL trophy. However, it is not impossible if Atalanta can defeat Liverpool, Atalanta isn't a weak team. But considering the quality of the players of all the lines, I am optimistic Liverpool will beat Atalanta in this round. Liverpool is one of the most productive teams, they scored many goals. But Liverpool must be careful with their defense because sometimes the defenders played inconsistently.

Jurgen Klopp needs to rotate the players on the starting line-up. I'm sure it won't be a bog problem for Liverpool. They have enough players to play in 3 matches in EPL, and then they will play against Atalanta in Europa League.

Currently, Bayern Leverkusen on difficult format drawing for qualifying to final of Europe League, although success defeating West Ham on quarter final Leverkusen will face the winner between AS Roma or Milan become most difficult opponent team.
Last season in Europe League, AS Roma success defeating Bayern Leverkusen on the semifinal round under Jose Mourinho era and I don't think easy for defeating the Serie A teams between Milan or Roma.

Seems easily for Liverpool drawing to final match, after facing Atatalanta on semifinal round then waiting the winner between Marseille or Benfica has easily than Bayern Leverkusen journey for qualifying to final. I doubt with ideal final Liverpool vs Bayern Leverkusen in Europe League this season.

At the moment, I find it difficult to single out a favorite team in the ongoing Europa trophy. Several teams are performing admirably, making it challenging to pick just one. However, if I were to assess based on their current performance, two teams stand out in my mind: Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool. Throughout this season's Europa competition, both teams have consistently showcased exceptional prowess.

Additionally, they have maintained impressive performances in their respective domestic leagues. Considering their stellar track records, I am inclined to believe that either Bayer Leverkusen or Liverpool stands a strong chance of clinching the Europa trophy this season. Their consistency and success thus far make them formidable contenders, and I anticipate an exciting battle between these two exceptional teams as they vie for the prestigious title.

Everyone has their own view of a club, and that's fine when you place Liverpool as the main favorite to become champions in the European League this season. However, if they have to face Leverkusen in the final round, then it will be very difficult for me to predict, because even though Liverpool have a better mentality because they are in the domestic league which has a very high level of competition, whereas in the Bundesliga the level of competition is still is quite low and cannot be compared with the English League.

However, this season Leverkusen has still had an extraordinary performance and they are unbeaten in the Bundesliga and also in the Europa League. In terms of opportunities, I agree that Liverpool has a bigger chance, but that is not a guarantee that they will easily win the match if they meet later. Especially if it is a final match, both clubs will definitely go all out to ensure they can win the match. But we are still in the quarter finals at the moment, there are still 2 stages left if we want to see who will be in the final.

You are of course right, Liverpool could lose against Atalanta but I think Liverpool are the favourites. Atalanta has a fairly productive attack line and so far they have proven their abilities by scoring 12 goals in the group stage and 3 goals in the round of 16. Liverpool  have to be aware of the possibility of defeat, that's can make them fail to win a semifinal ticket. So it is not certain which of the two they will qualify for the semifinals.

Liverpool have 3 matches in the Premier League before the Europa League quarter-final match against Atalanta, so maybe this could also affect the team in the Europa League, especially if several players get injured before the match. I'm support Liverpool to win that ticket, but not underestimating Atalanta.

Football is unique, sometimes unexpected things can happen. yeah, like you said in this post. in fact, this quarter-final match has not yet been held, so everything is still possible. despite the fact, Liverpool and Leverkusen are the favorite teams in this competition. I agree with what you said for Liverpool and Leverkusen, it does not rule out the possibility of these two teams collapsing. yeah, before the match is held we won't know the final result.

Speaking of Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso's squad almost lost against Qarabag FK. but this team was very lucky again, even though statistically Leverkusen was much better. however, the opposing team, Qarabag FK, was able to take the lead and even one of their players was given a red card. Fortunately, Leverkusen was able to comeback after Frimpong first reduced the position. After that, in the crucial minute, Patrik Schich was able to score two goals in the 90+3 and 90+7 minutes. in the match against West Ham, the same situation could happen. I mean, West Ham is capable of overthrowing Leverkusen. however, at least Leverkusen's chances are higher than West Ham's in the quarter-final match. moreover, Victor Boniface is ready to play again as Leverkusen's pure striker.

Talking about Liverpool, the probability of Jurgen Kloop's squad is quite high overthrowing Atlanta. only, before the match was held. Liverpool will meet Manchester United again in the Premier League. This match cannot be taken lightly. because if Liverpool slips, two of the teams that are competitors this season can widen their points gap. This means that Jurgen Kloop's concentration will be divided between the Premier League and the Europa League. But on paper, Liverpool has a big chance of overthrowing Atalanta in the quarter-final match. Let's watch and wait for this match, maybe there will be a surprise.

Do you also think they Ac Milan has got what it takes to win the game against As Roma? If it was Jose Mourinho at this point I wouldn't want to argue because he is good when it gets to European Competitions and Football. I feel like they will get the qualifications to the next round only of you monitor how they have improved, they stand a good chance of defeating As Roma regardless of the fact that they're also doing good with Daniel De Rossi.

Marseille also has a good play and Per Emerick Aubameyang has been scoring as well assisting bit he can't do all alone. I'm not sure how far they will go either.
Bayern Leverkusen are also hot as hell. We shall see what they have to show us this round.

If the two teams face each other in the final, it will certainly be a very historic match. Moreover, if Leverkusen can maintain their unbeaten record until they reach the final, then Liverpool will have the ambition to give Xabi Alonso squad their first defeat. In my opinion, this final would be very ideal, without ignoring the potential of teams like Milan or Roma. I think Liverpool can overcome the resistance given by Atalanta in the quarter finals, as well as Leverkusen who have the potential to beat West Ham.

On the other hand, as we have often seen in the European League, this competition often brings surprises. Teams that are widely favored could fall early, Liverpool and Leverkusen could also be eliminated in the quarter finals or semi finals. There is no guarantee that both of them can advance to the final, we can only predict their strength based on their reputation and statistics so far. On paper, the two teams do have a higher bargaining value than the other contestants.

It is true. Liverpool and Leverkusen could show a great consistency in each competition they are following this season. Specifically for Leverkusen, their status is still an unbeaten team. With this fact, I think it is normal if many people assume Liverpool vs Leverkusen will be in the final match of UEL this season. Both Xabi Alonso and Jurgen Klopp have a big motivation to win UEL trophy. Xabi wants to prove his quality as a new popular manager (coach), meanwhile Jurgen Klopp wants to give a prestigious trophy for his farewell.

Yep, Liverpool and Leverkusen must beat their opponents in the current round (quarter final) if they want to qualify to the next round (semi-final) and may have a chance to be in the final round. Atalanta and West Ham are 2 good teams, they often bring difficulty to big teams although they are not top teams. Even if Liverpool and Leverkusen could beat Atalanta and West Ham, they probably must fight with AC Milan or AS Roma in the semi-final round. It even can be more difficult than Atalanta or West Ham.

Even though you fully support Liverpool to become champions in the Europa League this season, some people are still quite curious about Liverpool meeting Leverkusen in the Europa League final this season because Xabi Alonso's coaching at Leverkusen has also made more changes to the Leverkusen team so there is excitement for watching their final match could be something quite interesting that I still feel hesitant to favor Liverpool if they actually meet in the final later.

But still, on paper Liverpool still has above average quality and of course, Liverpool will still be strong as a title candidate team this season. Because basically Liverpool is also a team that has a high winning mentality, so it is not surprising that in reality Liverpool is a Premier League team that has lots of Champions League trophies. Therefore, to get the Europa League trophy, of course Liverpool still has a very good chance of getting it this season. Also, about Liverpool defeat in the FA Cup against Manchester United really cannot be used as a benchmark because after all, the prestige and tension of the FA Cup and the Europa League clearly have a big difference. With these considerations so of course, I personally remain confident that Liverpool will still reach the final match of the Europa League this season and indeed, the big hope is to play against Bayer Leverkusen in the final match of this season.

Maybe that's a scenario that could happen without us expecting because after all we can't knock Milan or Roma off the path of the current champions in the Europa League, the possibility of Leverkusen and Liverpool meeting in the semi-finals is of course inevitable because after all the big 4 teams have the opportunity to qualify for the semi-finals, and if indeed they meet sooner, of course it is worthy for us to call the match a final that comes sooner than the one we expect, But when Liverpool and Leverkusen meet the semifinal, won't it be a pretty exciting match before we see the real final?.

So far many of us hope Liverpool and Leverkusen can meet in the final, but instead I personally see if Milan also have a great chance to reach the final round to face Leverkusen or Liverpool later, Liverpool and Leverkusen's journey in the Europa League looks easier for them because they have to face teams below their level, but not so with Milan who have been tested in the Europa League competition so far,So I think Milan, Liverpool and Leverkusen are strong candidates to reach the final this season.

Exactly, not just European football or Europa League, football in general is full of surprises especially in such elimination stages where we will be thinking that the big team will always win.

A shocking defeat to Liverpool by Manchester United is something to be taking into consideration. No team is superior than others especially when it comes to Europa League or Champions League quarter finals.
Liverpool can be eliminated likewise Leverkusen too because West Ham and Atalanta are all doing great in their domestic leagues and will also be preparing to make history by seeing themselves play in the semifinals of the Europa League.

People are been too quick to judge based on paper; we know that based on domestic Leagues, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the two teams with the highest chance of winning this Europa League, but that should not rule other teams chance of winning the League because we have AC Milan too in the competition.

But a nightmare could come and destroy the hopes of everyone who wants to see Liverpool compete in the Final against Leverkusen. The nightmare is that Liverpool and Leverkusen could meet in the semi-finals and not in the final. 
Or it could be that one of them unexpectedly falls first. because there are teams from Italy that dominate the teams that have qualified for the quarter-finals this season in the European League. And usually teams from Italy are always good at making surprises in a competition. Due to the fact that in several seasons I have seen the top teams lose early in the European League and in the end the Final only features teams that were initially not seeded at all.

Definitely the game against Manchester united isn't and can't be seen too as a determinant to the performance or form of Liverpool, moreover Liverpool actually performed much better in that game to the point that it felt like Liverpool was already going to win that game as they had the most possession and attempts, they had most dominance in that game and even had one of their goals cancelled.

The were actually still the favourite to win till almost the end of the ninetieth minute but then klop in a bid to maintain the team form even after that game so they would have a better form for the premier league and other league as well, he had to make sure to apply his strategy that will allow his key players to rest and sadly Manchester united used that to their advantage well enough and got to equalize which later took the game into the extra time and they did lost the game so I'm not going to say Liverpool had a bad performance capable enough to affect their psychology.

Most likely Liverpool and Leverkusen are most likely to get to the finals of this game that's of they don't eventually meet before then like you have rightly stated, because both team are the teams with the most good form in the Europa and aswell has got more attention from people in that they have been able to put up very impressive performance much more than others have done in the Europa this season.

Liverpool done impressive fight in this last game against Manchester United even they lost in extra time but still they were dominating team and having good control all around with this now their few players are also coming back from injuries things are looking much better for them to compete strongly for the UEFA Europa League title even now they are coming down from their hunt for the fourth titles to three with they are capable of achieving this all and their chances are quite high for the win in this season because they are having enough quality.

Liverpool is surely one of the teams in this season to watch even their luck never been with them due to too many injuries in even season, but currently they are having enough suitable replacements which are giving good fight back for the top spots most of the fans are looking for the Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen final if we have this surely this could be one of the most entertaining finals in recent times.

I agree with that. There is nothing to be sure about in this tournament now. Even for Liverpool there isn't such thing like they will 100% be in the final stage despite their impressive look in the Europa League so far.

For Leverkusen I trust them less than Liverpool as for reaching the final stage. We have all watched Leverkusen's performance against Qarabag previously, right? We have seen how much they struggled. Now they have drawn West Ham. You know that West Ham are no joke. They have much more capable players than Qarabag.

I won't place a bet on Leverkusen to advance to the semi finals after what I watched previously. Maybe I might even try West Ham to advance just for fun. 

No one is underestimating Atalanta, I also don't mean it like that, it's just that I'm not sure whether Atalanta is able to beat Liverpool, who have had a strong performance this season, while Atalanta's current performance is inconsistent. You can check Atalanta's data for yourself this season and that can convince you that Liverpool better than Atalanta. Even though Atalanta has several squads that might be reliable, they are very different from the squad that Liverpool has which is strong on all sides and Liverpool's attacks are also not playing around in crippling their opponents. At first Liverpool was also doubted against Sparta Prague because he was able to make things difficult for Galatasaray but in reality Liverpool was able to ward off all of that by creating lots of goals and that proves that their performance is very strong.

It is true that Liverpool is the favorite to beat Manchester United in the FA Cup, but comparing it with the Europa League competition is very unfair because Liverpool prioritizes the Europa League and Premier League competitions, this is to save the players' stamina and also avoid injuries. In my opinion, Manchester United is lucky to be able to win the competition. This is because if Liverpool is serious they could be knocked out and this also cannot be used as a benchmark that Liverpool's strength is a little doubtful against Atalanta.
