In the Europa League, apart from the Italian derby, the other outstanding match-up could be between Liverpool and Atalanta. Liverpool are still favourites in the competition, but Atalanta is a serious rival.
Team news
Liverpool lost important points at the weekend against Manchester United, dropping them down to second place in the Premier League and their fate is no longer in their own hands.
Moreover, the draw against Manchester United could hurt Klopp’s side in a way that they played United down in the first half, while a capital error early in the second half allowed the home side to equalise.
There were too many missed chances, Szoboszlai also missed several promising chances. This will not happen on Thursday, although Liverpool are much more effective at home.
The Italians are currently sixth in the domestic league, and Gasperini’s side are not in a very good position. They have only won three of their last ten games, although they have played a lot of matches against top teams, mainly away from home. They were knocked out 4-0 by Inter, but Atalanta should have been happier with draws against Juventus and Milan. They also lost at home to Cagliari at the weekend, which meant they are five points away from fifth place, although with one game less to play.
There are no new absentees on either side, with several of Liverpool’s old absentees (Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, Diogo Jota) back in training, while only Giorgio Scalvini is still missing for the visitors.
Free bet for Liverpool vs Atalanta
Liverpool face an easier league game this weekend, so we expect them to field their strongest eleven against the Italians.
In addition, the Reds will need to keep pushing all the way to at least take a two or three-goal lead into the return leg, which would be a big step towards progressing in the first leg.
We again see potential in Liverpool’s shots on goal. Bookmakers would pay good money for 21 home shots, which is a good bet considering the number of attempts and the fact that it is worth chasing the match. Atalanta have faced 18-20 shots in several games (Milan 20, Juventus 18, Napoli 20), Liverpool should bring that limit down without any problems.
