Before Betting On Liverpool vs Atalanta
This should be an exciting clash in the Europa League this week, as two sides that will be hopeful of going all the way in the competition will collide. It will be the third time that these teams have come up against one another in a European competition, with both previous clashes being won by the team playing away from home in the 2020-21 Champions League campaign.
Atalanta will be coming up against an English opposition in the Europa League for the first time since November 2017. On their trip to England on that occasion, the Italian giants landed a commanding 5-1 victory against Everton. The fact that they have won away from home against Liverpool and Everton makes Atalanta one of just three teams to have completed the unlikely double.
Liverpool will still be commanding favorites for this first leg after showing excellent attacking quality in the competition already this term. The Reds have netted 28 goals in their eight matches in the competition. They have scored at least 30 goals on just two previous campaigns in Europe.
Atalanta have been a reliable team in terms of reaching this stage of the competition, as it marks the third time in the last five seasons that they have reached the quarterfinal stage. However, they have suffered defeat at this hurdle in each of their previous two appearances.
