Liverpool only need to go through one more difficult game against Atlanta and if they can overcome Atlanta then their journey to the final is very easy in my opinion, so far maybe Atlanta can give Liverpool a hard time in the Europa League before they may meet Leverkusen in the final later, Atlanta is not in good shape in Serie A but so far Atlanta has been able to make the team team above them drop points when facing Atlanta and Maybe this can happen to Liverpool, who are so far candidates to win the European League besides Leverkusen.

Atlanta's journey this season in reaching the quarterfinals in my opinion is quite difficult, but with consistent performance can make Atlanta the third best team besides Leverkusen and Liverpool, and even Atlanta has so far defeated several strong teams in the European League such as Sporting Lisbon which is indeed the quality far above Sparta Prague which was defeated by Liverpool if we compare it at this time,  I think Atlanta will make Liverpool work quite hard in the game against Atlanta later and even so far they look quite balanced if we look at the head to head meetings between the two teams.

This is main point which are missing by too many peoples currently we are talking about the quarterfinals of the event which mean now we have top eight teams which came here after beating competitive teams in this competition and now can do anything with their match day performance even quality is having some impact but still as we are having injuries and few other issues things can go either way for any team.

As we have matches with Atlanta vs Liverpool and then West Ham vs Bayer Leverkusen any team can give surprise with his performance even we have few teams are superior in quality but now as things are going on top level we can expect any result from these top teams and giving any advantage to any other team is also not favourable with all are going to have good advantage into their home games.

Atalanta has been good this season, and we all remember Liverpool's stunning loss at Anfield last time. But Liverpool's form this season is crazy. They've pulverized teams, demonstrating their dominance. You must examine Liverpool's squad depth and quality. I like Atalanta's game, but I can't see them stopping Liverpool this time. They've beaten tougher opponents. Fact: the Reds are too good, especially in important games

Liverpool has performed well, especially in Europe. They easily beat most teams, as their record shows. In my experience, Atalanta's defense is solid, but Liverpool's assault is superior. Liverpool has defeated stronger defenses, therefore I'm betting on them winning. Atalanta isn't underrated; Liverpool is this season's powerhouse

It's true, perhaps one of the obstacles for Leverkusen is that they don't have many experienced players in European competitions. Because experience is important because it will greatly influence their mentality in the match, and you also need to remember that mentality is one of the influencing factors, especially since this is a European competition, yes, even though this is the second caste after the Champions League, it is still a club. Those who are here are the best representatives from their respective leagues.

Luckily they have a coach who has a lot of experience when he was still a professional player, that might be useful because Xabi can share the experiences he had when he was still playing. Even though the player doesn't feel it directly, if he is clever in conveying his experience it will have an impact on the player.

Regarding the opponent's status, it is clear that West Ham cannot be underestimated. Their landslide victory in their previous match shows that they are not a club that only completes the Europa League, but they are also ready to compete.

I can agree with that. As long as they eliminate Atalanta in this phase their next opponent is going to be one of Benfica and Marseille. None of them is at Liverpool's level at the moment. Benfica had a really big difficulty in eliminating Rangers for example. I don't think they would show a better performance against Liverpool. 

When it comes to Marseille they look more impressive recently. Since they changed their manager they have been on the rise. They have a potential to fight harder compared to Benfica in my opinion. But would this be enough to eliminate Liverpool? I think there won't be such thing happening. 

After watching Liverpool performance in last few games, now mostly are thinking they are hot favourite for the win in this competition because their lethal attack is giving them all which needed for the win and their player's depth is also amazing specially as their few top players are missing due to injuries but still things are going into their favour and their bench power is also having great chemistry which is their best weapon for the leading from the front now we are heading for the quarterfinals which are surely never been easy to predict because things are completely on same level and all teams are having good performance so now they are having spots into his round.

Liverpool is currently fighting for the three titles with one is already won, so things like these making their season so astonishing because they are trying to give best farewell to their outgoing coach this could be surely historic end of their history as well with as much they can grab from this.

Leverkusen's performance in the round of 16 was a bit disappointing, they were almost beaten by Qarabag, but luckily Leverkusen was able to make good use of the second leg. I hope he doesn't repeat the same thing in the quarter-finals if he wants to compete with Liverpool in the Europa League because Liverpool looks very good. strong at the moment can be seen from his extraordinary performance in the round of 16 where he won the match easily without any difficulty so Leverkusen must learn from the previous round and correct his mistakes so that he can do as much as possible and no longer lose his chance to reach the Europa League final, because the club like Liverpool and Milan are very hungry for the Europa League trophy.

The match between Leverkusen vs Westham can indeed be said to be quite a tough match because Westham is a Premier League club that Leverkusen should be wary of, but Westham's performance in the Premier League is also not very consistent, he is ranked 7th but with a different level of competition. , if Leverkusen is able to beat Bayern Munich they should also be able to beat Westham in this match because the performance of the two clubs is clearly different and stronger Bayern Munich is of course Westham is not a comparable opponent for Leverkusen with its current performance.

A winning team will prevailed through barriers. The europa league is highly staked with elite competitive clubs, these clubs doesn't hold back but brings on stellar display in matches. Leverkusen is unbeaten and facing the Hammers, should be huge challenge for them. Bayer Leverkusen will face Westham United. A tough prediction to decides the winner, both teams are contending with everything they have. Giving up is not an option for both of them, rather they will continue to dominate and fly in for important winnings.

I admit that Liverpool deserves to be the favorite in the uropean league this season but I never assume too much.
there are many reasons why Liverpool looks very different from last season because last season there was still Sevilla who had won the most european league titles so many other teams had difficulty competing with them even though they were not too strong, but surprisingly Sevilla managed to get the ruropean league title.
when you say that all the teams that qualify for the european League are not able to perform like Liverpool, I will give you advice to remember how Sevilla last season was considered weak but the strategy used was able to give them a prestigious title.

It seems like you are part of Liverpool fans so you think other teams are not as great as Liverpool but you shouldn't just judge from one side and now try to look at other teams like Milan and Roma who could get rid of Liverpool when they can face each other in any round and on one side Leverkusen is also one of the strong, unbeatable teams that could get rid of Liverpool.
I'm not saying any team is weak, but all the teams that made it through to the quarter finals are all great teams, but only their playing style and performance are slightly different.

Liverpool are one of the favorites in the Europa League this season. If Liverpool's performance was similar to last season then maybe Liverpool would not be so much favorite in Europa League but they have improved their performance this season compared to last season which is why they have a good chance to win Europa League title this season. Liverpool are performing in the Europa League as well as in the English Premier League, but the other teams that have qualified for the Europa League are not able to perform as well. Since Liverpool are ahead of all the other teams in terms of performance, if Liverpool win the Europa League title for the first time this season, it will surely help them to forget the sorrow of not being able to qualify for the Champions League.

The win can't be determined by the level of their leagues. If we consider the league, West Ham will be the favorite team because they are in the best league in the world, EPL. However, in the fact people prefer to favor Leverkusen because they performed very consistently both in Bundesliga and Europa league. So far, Leverkusen still can't get a single lose, they only got some draws.

In the match Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan, they have the same level of leagues. The position in their leagues also can't improve the chance to win because they are playing in a different competition. International competition like UCL and UEL always provide any surprise because each team has own motivation. I think the motivation of the players and the readiness to play is a more important reason. Another reasons can be about the quality of the coach and the players as well.

You're right, it is still difficult to predict which team to win. Although we see many reasons to favor Leverkusen but it can't guarantee anything.

Atalanta can’t be underestimated, they’re also a strong team and for coming this far in the Europa Legaue signifies how strong they are and willing to also fight for the Europa Legaue title. When both compared, Liverpool has a good chance of prevailing ahead of them but seeing the condition of the match and the competitions that Liverpool are more focused on, I would want to give Atalanta some sense of hope to also fight for this trophy. I am not underestimating any of the teams but Liverpool stands a better chance to win than Atalanta has.

But the "undoubtedly" is only temporary if football comes into play and an underdog team out of a sudden makes a lot of trouble for the big favorite. Now it happened and Leverkusen found a solution to get out of the trouble, but it doesn't always work like that. Leverkusen is a great team, but the fact remains forever that great teams can have problems, otherwise Inter Milan would still be playing in the Champions League. 

After the draw for the UEFA Europa League quarter and semi finals was made, I saw that German Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen will be facing English Premier League club West Ham. Many are of the opinion that it'll be a very difficult game for the two teams and that's West Ham still have a chance of delivering the needed performance that'll help them eliminate Bayer Leverkusen from the competition but as someone who's been following the development at Bayer Leverkusen since the start of the season, I'm of the opinion that it'll be an easy tie for the German club. Leverkusen have been incredibly impressive since the start of the season and is still yet to lose a league game so I don't expect a team like that's that formidable to be eliminated by West Ham who's not even in the top five clubs in the English Premier League table. West Ham without doubt can pull a surprise and eliminate Bayer Leverkusen but the chances of that to happen is very slim.

If you make a direct league comparison, Leverkusen should be the clear favorite. But it's not that simple. Leverkusen showed in the eighth final that it also has many weaknesses, as many players lack international experience. In the CL match between Atletico and Inter, many people bet on Inter to win, citing their league position. In the end, things turned out differently. That's why I see the game between West Ham and Leverkusen as very even and don't see a clear favorite.

.
Atlanta has got a good defense and that I've seen in few if their game but you can't think they can be able too good for certain teams, the only thing would be that the number of goal will be reduced but I know Liverpool is too productive a d good for the kind of resistance Atlanta would have been able to put up against them, it worked against others because they weren't really as good as Liverpool.

Liverpool's record in the Europa is just too good this season and I just believe they could only be challenged by teams like Leverkusen and probably AC Milan else the rest teams are more likely not to be able to give Liverpool much problem winning them, most of the teams Liverpool met at  he group stage Liverpool won with was and their moat recent game against Manchester city in the premier league, they did used their smaller boy's in the first half and they actually did played well so I ha e this feeling they could do better aswell.

Atlanta even in their domestic league isn't doing so much so they aswell can not really be a problem to Liverpool because I know there's this psychological effects that comes with playing against a big team which you know is one of the best in the tournament, that will be Liverpool's advantage to tackling them a d making sure to get even if it's a goal or two and secure their winnings then by second leg the challenge may get tougher because they must have experienced each other already.

This is very fair and if they are strong and they will qualify for the further stage but yeah facing a strong clubs was totally unacceptable thing but since this is the result from the draw and they must have accepted it. Roma vs milan obviously eliminating a candidate from serie a but since italian league has already failed in the UCL, what's wrong with it? They are able to qualify based on how strong their are. There's nothing wrong with it. The same thing happened in UCL as there were around three candidates which have been placing in the same group. This is nothing new and yeah the only thing that is hard to accept is seeing a candidate to leave from the competition.
I remind you that if serie a is still having atalanta which potentially beat liverpool too but it sounds too good to be true for me to see atalanta able to wins against liverpool. Serie a is still having chance to have two candidates qualify for the semi final.
This totally depends from the result between liverpool vs atalanta. Milan is holding very good possibility to win against as roma. Im not doubting milan will able to send off roma from europa league this season. It's obvious that if acmilan is far superior compared to the roma.
Acmilan was always owning roma and that's it. Serie a can still at least have two candidates played in europa league. there's no nee to feel worry about that.

Liverpool is in form this season no doubt but they are in a competition that has teams from different leagues and having grouped with Atalanta team that has good number of notable stars it's not good to underestimate the performance of any team in the stage cause it's going to be bad if they get defeated because they looked down on their opponent. Atalanta is not in poor form regardless of their position in their league so it's going to be a perfect fixture between them and Liverpool but judging form their form this season Liverpool should be able to emerge as the winner ahead of them.

I wonder why some people are still underestimating certain teams toward others even when they make it to the quarterfinals. I think anybody shouldn't underestimate any team presently, as they have not yet played their first leg. Judging right now does not really make more sense. Any team can pick form at any time, and any team can lose form at any time due to some factor like injuries.
 
In fact, Atalanta is not a weak team that we should underestimate for Liverpool. I am aware that Liverpool should be the favorite team to win the match due to their current form, but I don't think they will find the game easy to win, like they found the match easy toward Sparta Praha, which they beat them with an aggregate of 11-2.

Based on Liverpool’s standard and the form they are this season, I don’t think Atalanta is a strong opponent for them. Although Atalanta should not be underrated because they are also in good shape this time and have good performance so far this season.

Nevertheless, Atalanta still have chance to try their best because they defeated Liverpool the last time they played them at Anfield.
