Bayern Leverkusen has not 50 games without defeat, but 49, but still an impressive record. Yesterday when I saw the game I could not believe that Bayer could even the score with Roma, because it is the Italian teams can play from defense and park the bus in the penalty area best of all, but again on 97 minutes Bayer evened the score is really more like some kind of sports miracle. Three games in a row Bayern Leverkusen have scored crucial goals in the 97th minute against Roma, Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund.
Atalanta will not be an easy opponent for Bayern Leverkusen because the team plays active soccer with pressing and is good at counterattacking, besides Atalanta has creative players who can score goals with their individual skills, so Bayern Leverkusen will not have an easy ride in the final and I estimate the chances of victory as 50/50.
It seems we have to say 50+1 for Leverkusen, 1 for their never-ending luck, although on the other hand Atalanta has the attributes to give Leverkusen a painful defeat. I think the final match between Atalanta and Leverkusen is quite ideal, considering that the Serie A representatives managed to get rid of Liverpool, who were previously favorites to win the Europa League trophy this season.
For Leverkusen, facing Atalanta is clearly easier than facing a team like Liverpool, one more step for Xabi fleet to create new history after successfully locking up the Bundesliga trophy. Apart from that, it is very likely that they will also be able to achieve victory in the DFB Pokal Final, so that at the end of the season Leverkusen will record a very historic success throughout the club journey.
Xabi will certainly change his strategy for the final match, in order to avoid a painful defeat, and at the same time they must try to score a quick goal. It's true, Serie A clubs have better defense lines, when compared with Roma, Atalanta defense line is slightly better, so Leverkusen must be fully alert. Apart from that, it is possible that the winner will have to be determined through a penalty shootout, if that happens then Leverkusen luck will really be tested.
