Before Betting On Atalanta vs Liverpool
Liverpool will have a mountain to climb in the Europa League this week following a heavy home defeat in their first clash with Atalanta last week. That was a stunning outcome at Anfield, as the Reds had no answer for the vibrant attacking display from their Italian rivals. Overall, this will be the 133rd time that an away side has taken a three-goal advantage into the second leg. Worryingly for Liverpool, no team has overcome that disadvantage.
Atalanta will be looking to claim victories in both legs of a knockout stage for the first time since the 2021-22 season. Meanwhile, Liverpool haven’t lost both legs in a Europa League knockout tie since losing at home and away against Celta Vigo in the 1998-99 season.
Atalanta have only ever recorded one victory against an English team, landing a 3-0 success over Everton in 2017. Their only defeat was suffered against Liverpool in 2020, while the other remaining two matches against Premier League teams have ended in draws.
Liverpool have claimed victories in three of their last four away matches against teams from Italy. That is a huge improvement in their form against Italian sides after winning just three of their first 14 visits to the nation. But, they were easily beaten by Napoli on their latest visit.
