Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Atalanta vs. Liverpool at Europa League
La Dea made a miracle at Anfield, but thsey might have lost the pace this Monday night after playing 2-2 at home against Verona, arguably one of the weakest teams in Serie A. Liverpool is in a knockdown, with the Reds suffering a crushing defeat to Crystal Palace at home, and allowing Man City to take over the top spot in the standings. Gewiss Stadium will be the venue of one very intense and rough match where both teams feel pressure for various reasons.
Atalanta
La Dea was 2-0 up against Verona at halftime, but they allowed two goals in the second half and got only a point in this event. That’s not according to the plan, and it could have repercussions on the final standings, even maybe hurt the team’s plans.
But, to be honest, because of the euphoria following the first meeting at Anfield, it is tough to focus on other stuff before Thursday’s event. Literally, the whole town is living for that meeting.
Atalanta’s games are efficient, with only two in the last ten ending with under 2.5 hits. During that stretch, La Dea posted two clean sheets, and both were on the road, which is interesting.
Liverpool
So three games without a win were all that was necessary for Liverpool to go from heaven to dirt. At first, they played 2-2 on the road against Manchester United, then came the shocker at home vs. Atalanta, 0-3, and in the end, another devastating failure, this time with Crystal Palace silencing Anfield, 0-1.
The amount of bad luck Liverpool endured over these three events is amazing, and we have to mention that the misses they had were unseen. But that’s L’Pool. There always has to be drama with this club.
One of the best attacks in the world didn’t score in 180 minutes, while before that we saw them obliterating the rivals’ defenses all the time. Seven of their last ten meetings across all the competitions have seen over 2.5 goals, and in the previous nine, Liverpool conceded at least once.
Atalanta: Musso; De Roon, Djimsiti, Hien; Zappacosta, Pasalic, Ederson, Ruggeri; Koopmeiners; Scamacca, De Ketelaere
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Elliott; Salah, Jota, Diaz
La Dea dazzled the Reds in Liverpool, winning 0-3 in the opening leg. On the other side, in the 2020 Champions League group stage, we saw visitors’ triumphs in both events. Liverpool smashed the rival in Bergamo, 0-5, but after that, Atalanta hit back, 0-2 in England.
This is a high-scoring matchup that’s for sure. We pick over 2.5 goals with both teams netting, because Liverpool needs to attack with all of its power, and on the other side, their defense is vurnerable. Meanwhile, Atalanta’s offensive form is pretty good, while the defense shows plenty of flaws.
Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
