Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen Analysis
Atalanta Preview
Huge confidence would have been gained by Atalanta throughout the Europa League this term, as they have performed excellently throughout the tournament. The Italian side finished top of the UEL standings in the opening round after winning four of their six matches in Group D.
They then raised their performance levels in the knockout round, claiming a two-legged victory over Sporting Lisbon in the round of 16. However, their best performance came at Anfield in the quarterfinals, securing a dominant 3-0 away win against Liverpool.
Atalanta once again showed their quality in the previous round, storming to a 3-0 second leg victory over Marseille at GEWISS Stadium. Matteo Ruggeri and Ademola Lookman both improved their UEL player stats by finding the net in the success.
However, it would be a slight concern that they will be making their debut appearance in a European final third week. It is the longest wait for any side to play in a final after making their European debut over 60 years ago.
Bayer Leverkusen Preview
The UEL team stats show that Bayer Leverkusen have been one of the most dominant sides in the competition this term. The German champions finished top of their group in the opening round, and have very rarely looked like losing their unbeaten record in the competition.
Leverkusen were professional in the round of 16 after battling to a second-leg success against Qarabag. However, their performance levels have increased in each of the last two rounds.
The German side powered to a 3-1 win over West Ham over two legs in the quarterfinals, before effectively securing their place in the final after a sensational 2-0 away success against AS Roma in the previous round.
Leverkusen will once again have no fresh UEL injuries to contend with, and they will be looking to become just the fourth team to win the Europa League after going unbeaten across all 13 matches in the competition.
Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen Head-to-Head
This will be the third time that Atalanta and Leverkusen have clashed. Both previous meetings were won by Atalanta in the round of 16 of the Europa League in the 2021-22 season.
