Leverkusen have reached the final and are only one step away from winning the European League trophy this season, Leverkusen performance in reaching the final is certainly full of surprises and now one more difficult game awaits them, Leverkusen unbeaten record this season has reached 49 games and they have the opportunity to continue to extend that record because they still have a few games left,  The mentality and unyielding mentality possessed by the Leverkusen squad is certainly the main factor in the good performance possessed by Bayern Leverkusen this season, apart from the strategy also applied by Alonso, of course, luck may also be a factor in Leverkusen's success this season.

Atlanta also have reached the final round after a difficult journey they went through, from the start not being favourites as finalists of course Atlanta was able to surprise us with their achievements that were able to reach the final, at the moment Atlanta is certainly not the favorite to win the Europa League when they meet Leverkusen later, but I think Atlanta will also probably provide a strong fight for Leverkusen,  If if they win in the final, Atlanta of course must remain focused on the match until the referee blows the whistle because as you said Leverkusen often give surprises until the last minute of the game.

Many people will be cheering Atlanta for defeating Leverkusen only if the club will able to do that which is constantly breaking new records that is owning by leverkusen this time. This is a difficult task for Atlanta because we are aware of how strong Leverkusen is currently especially when it is playing offensively. It is still unbeatable, and I believe that it will take more time for Atlanta to prepare to beat it by picking the best strategy to counter it. I totally aware about how atalanta was always surprising us and it revive my hope to see that italian team to win europa league this season.

There is still a long way to go until the Europa League final and it gives enough time for atalanta to prepare for the final against leverkusen. I expect Atalanta to use a defensive strategy to reduce Leverkusen's frequency of attacking opponents. Leverkusen is the type of team that will try to win possession and consistently attack you when under pressure.
The only way to counter it is with a low-block strategy. This is very similar to when Qarabag almost beat it. A small error can result in significant losses for Atlanta. Atalanta's players must be even more cautious.





The above is the odds for atalanta vs leverkusen. It's obvious bayern being favored to win the game but atalanta's odds is very worthy to bet. We have seen how atalanta's defensive line. Liverpool was even frustrated about how to break atalanta's defensive line.
Expect gasperini to prepare something special in the final against leverkusen. ATA got 4.00 which is very good.

BTTS is likely to happen too. It can also become a safe heaven bet for this match.

well, if indeed Atalanta wants to try to give a strong resistance to Leverkusen and want to try to get the European League title, that's all Atalanta has to do such as scoring early and always alert in the second half.
reason is quite clear that Xabi always gives a different strategy in the second half and this often happens and I am sure Atalanta knows the strategy used by Xabi so that scoring an early score and in the second half prioritizes the defense will be the best strategy for Atalanta.
even so, Leverkusen will not run out of ways because Xabi intelligence has tactics to the players always there and can always be done well by Leverkusen players.

this will be a really interesting match even though Atalanta is rarely favored but we don't know whether there will be luck for Atalanta who can beat Leverkusen, but still I support Leverkusen to be the holder of the European League title this season.

Bayer Leverkusen is just three matches ahead to have a complete unbeaten season. They have two league games against VfL Bochum a home game with Augsburg and of course the Europa League finals against Atalanta. If they can win the two Bundesliga games they have made history in the league and the win in the finals will make them one the greatest clubs in history. Italian teams are not easy to win because they have good defense. They usually can hold on to a goal till the end of the game. I was surprised that Roma was able to score two goals at Bayer Leverkusen's home ground. Many pundits predicted that it would be an easy win but Roma showed class and dedication to win. I will bet on the German side because they have been consistent throughout the season, but it will not be an easy game.

In general, Leverkusen is good enough against AS Roma. What made me the most amazed Leverkusen's calm defense line faced the incessant attacks of AS Roma players from the start.
AS Roma's situation changed when Mancini accidentally touched his body which made the score change from 0-2 to 1-2.

Come to Gewiss Stadium to fight Atalanta, Roma is eyeing a position that can bring them back to the Champions League. If Roma fails against Atalanta, they should not fail in other Serie A matches if they don't want to lose their place in the European League next season considering that Lazio who is under they are ready to take the ration.

Atalanta must be wary of Leverkusen until the final minutes of the match, because they so often score goals in the final minutes of the match, so it is Atalanta's job to ensure that they are always in good concentration until the referee actually ends the match.
Leverkusen's chances of losing this match are no greater than Atalanta's. They were favorites from the start and their record without defeat in 49 matches proves that they will be very difficult to beat this season.
Xabi Alonso has succeeded in a good mentality with Leverkusen, that is the main asset for them. Apart from that, the chemistry that has been built between the players is also one of the factors that has made Leverkusen's play so solid this season.
I think they will win the Europa League this season.

The first half of this game was a disaster for both bettors and leverkusen themselves but leverkusen proved to be more superior than Roma, that match has noted a bad record for Roma, defeating a team by 2:0 in such an important match and later allowing them to penetrate to equalize the match, this where I blame the manager not only the players, when they were 2:0 ahead the manager would have used a 4 men defense, 4 midfield and 2 attackers at least this would have helped them to maintain the lead and also look for more goals, we never can tell what would have happened if the match ended in a penalty shootout, the own goal was uncalled for but then that where I believe that god of soccer exist, football should be played with determination and a lot of seriousness, although Leverkusen deserved the winning but Roma allowed it to be that way.

Maybe in the final match we will also be more curious about whether Atalanta will be able to stop Leverkusen's unbeaten record this season or not. But if Atalanta succeeds then it will be a big surprise and people will start to stop underestimating Italian teams like Atalanta. Because actually Roma also almost beat Leverkusen in the second leg yesterday. But unfortunately Roma couldn't defend it until the end. And Atalanta could actually be a tougher opponent than Roma. because Atalanta has a stronger enemy in the quarter-finals, namely Liverpool. but Atalanta managed to win at that time. So I am sure that the Final match will be a more exciting match. But I'm not sure which team to bet on in that match.

Yes, it could be said like that, who would have thought that Dortmund and Atalanta were two clubs that were not really favorites since the start of the season, but they were able to reach the Champions League final and also the Europa League final, we cannot predict football results in advance, we also should not underestimate underdog clubs. because they have the special ability to reach the current level, even though they were able to reach the final, people still don't really favor Dortmund and Atalanta to win this prestigious title, most people prefer Real Madrid and Leverkusen to win this title.

Because judging from the performance of these clubs, these clubs are the most convincing, but let's see if Dortmund and Atalanta can give a surprising performance by beating their opponents. They have a performance that is difficult to predict at the moment. Even when Atalanta beat Liverpool, it also caused quite an astonishing surprise because who would have thought that Atalanta able to beat the Premier League giants. I see that Real Madrid and Leverkusen are the favorite clubs to win the title but we also don't know what will happen if Leverkusen makes its first mistake in the final.

This season's UEL final is similar to the UCL final. I think this is something unique. In the UCL final, Real Madrid will face Dortmund, an underdog team that is beyond most people's predictions. Many say this will be the final between Real Madrid and PSG. And many say Real Madrid has won the UCL. In UEL Atalanta will play Leverkusen. And many say Leverkusen has a big chance of becoming champions. Dortmund and Atalanta are underdogs, Real Madrid and Leverkusen are favorites with big chances. I also believe Real Madrid and Leverkusen will be champions this season.

If you look at the current Serie A standings, it looks like Roma and Atalanta are on an equal level, so the match against Roma in the semifinals can be used as a lesson for Bayer Leverkusen, so that they have thorough preparation to face Atalanta in the Final. In terms of performance, I still feel that Bayer Leverkusen is above Atalanta, and the same goes for the mentality of both teams. Bayer Leverkusen just need to keep up their performance and that way they will be able to lift their second trophy.

It true, if there wasn't goal scored by Josip Stanisic in the final minutes then it would have been defeat for Leverkusen, it just that even though they lost 1 - 2 to Roma, Leverkusen still advanced to the final because they still had the aggregate advantage.
Now there is only the deciding match left for the winner of this season Europa League title and whatever happens, even though Atalanta can provide surprise and fight well, Leverkusen is still the favorite.
It seems that Leverkusen are destined to win trebble winners in one season under Xabi guidance and of course this makes them team with winning mentality.
Next season we will see more interesting things where Xabi has to prepare Leverkusen to participate in the UCL, and of course Xabi greatness will not only be carved for this season with Leverkusen.

The come back of Leverkusen is very impressive because it is a knock out match and they have to face with a very strong opponent. Moreover, the opponent is from Italy where defense is like their traditional art. Leverkusen are strong but they also have support of luck because without the own goal of Mancini, I doubt that Leverkusen can come back.

I believe without that own goal, Roma can block Leverkusen attacks like they did last season but what happened is a big gift for Leverkusen. This own goal of Mancini opens the match for Leverkusen because after that, Roma have nothing to lose more. If the result remains, they will fail in aggregated result and they have to attack to find a third goal. With big space from Roma, Leverkusen have many opportunities to equalize the match and they wasted some chances before scoring a very late goal to make their come back more dramatic.

Leverkusen have the ability to keep winning considering their remaining opponents have nothing to fight for anymore. They will even be easier to beat compared to teams that are fighting relegation. However, Fulfilling this ambition will take toll on their mentality and fitness, because they will still need a full focus on every game they play while they also have two finals to play.

Atalanta is a strong team under Gasperini. Leverkusen will also need a full focus on their preparation to play the Europa League final. This situation need a strong mentality from the coach and manager to achieve their biggest success in history of the club. anything can still happen, but they need to reduce the distractions.

AS Roma took the lead in the match but they were so comfortable after scoring the two goals which they were to be so protective of their defence to secure those goals more but they wastefully misuse that opportunity and Bayern Leverkusen easily came back into the game to level the game once more. They continued their dominance in all competitions and also continue the streak of their unbeaten run. Can any team even stop them now from winning this trophy, I don’t think so as they’ve proven that they’re the best for the this season.


Before the competition will get to this stage, I have already envisioned that the side where Bayern Leverkusen will be playing from is what will give a more competitive time for them to advance to the finals ever since Liverpool was eliminated from the competition. Which ever team makes it to the finals of the competition will not give Bayern Leverkusen a hard time winning the trophy. The efforts of Atalanta is such that they don’t give up no matter the team they face, and that enthusiasm in them gave them the victory against Liverpool. We shall wait to see how the match will be played but Bayern Leverkusen still remain the best team for the trophy.

In as much as I'm one of the people who thinks that Bayer Leverkusen are going to win the UEFA Europa League competition this season because of their better form and performances when compared to their opponents Atalanta in the final of the competition we can't just undermine the strength of the Italian Serie A team who will be giving their all as well to lift the trophy at the of the final whistle. One thing I have noticed about Bayer Leverkusen manager this season is that he's not allowed his good and impressive results get the better of him in terms of decision making and directing his players on what's best for them as a team. Xabi Alonso will tell his boys to go into the pitch with the mindset that they're very beatable and must put out their best if they must avoid a defeat in the final of the competition.
Saying that you're 100% going to trust Bayer Leverkusen is an insult to Atalanta as a team and in football, you can never say never. Bayer Leverkusen is most people's favorites without doubt but Atalanta still have the capability of pulling a surprise

I think Leverkusen will be able to maintain this record until the end of the season, and complete the remaining 4 matches, in 3 different competitions as expected. Bochum and Augsburg are Leverkusen next opponents, and it seems unlikely that these two teams will be able to make Leverkusen taste defeat for the first time. Furthermore, Atalanta will be the opponent in the final match in the Europa League, and it also seems that they will have difficulty beating Leverkusen. Likewise, in the other final match, namely the DFB Pokal against Kaiserslautern, in my opinion it was even easier for Leverkusen for overcome it. So Leverkusen could have the opportunity to record a record of 53 matches without being defeated. It is a record that will be very difficult to surpass in the future, and now the Europa League final will be Xabi Alonso priority. Many believe that Leverkusen will be able to achieve a treble winner this season, which I think they really deserve.

Same with me, I didn't think at all that Atalanta would be the one to reach one of the Europa League finalists this season. Even if we look at the polls in this thread, the current finalists, Leverkusen and Atalanta are not on the poll lists. Yes, because it was at the start of the season, no one would have thought that these two clubs would make it to the final. In fact, he was very sure that the winner would be Liverpool. However, Atalanta really beat this estimate, as did Leverkusen, which is even more impressive, the club's performance from the start until now is still unbeaten.

Now, let's see how the two clubs will be competing in the final of Europe League. Although this time the most favorite club is Leverkusen because considering their solid and consistent performance, it doesn't close the chance also for Atalanta. So, this will be very interesting to wait for this.

Atalanta may have more victories against Leverkusen. but this time is different. We are seeing how current performance of both clubs. Leverkusen may be more consistent, and with Xabi, the smart coach so far, and its full players that are fit enough. Well, Atalanta must do more efforts to continue the race of winning from Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen advanced to the 2024 UEFA Europa League final following a 2-2 draw at home against Roma, securing a 4-2 aggregate win. Bayer Leverkusen will now face Atalanta, in Dublin. Also with thia result, Leverkusen, this season’s German champions, now have the longest unbeaten streak in European football history, having remained undefeated in 49 consecutive games across all competitions, setting a remarkable new record.

Their H2H meeting between Atalanta and Leverkusen did not happen much. It was recorded that they had only competed a few times in matches. And from that match, Atalanta actually had better statistics because they got a bigger win than Leverksuen. But that was before, before Leverkusen were at this level.

Meanwhile, for now, we really understand what Leverkusen's consistency and performance has been like so far. In fact, we really care about this club because that's how great its struggle is. So, this time, it could be that Leverkusen is able to reverse the previous conditions and in the end it is Leverkusen who I am sure will excel and win later. Even though this will certainly be very difficult for both of them, hopefully, Leverkusen will do it carefully but full of enthusiasm for victory.
