UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Frankolala]

Finals is known for surprises such as the favourite team losing but I don't think that will happen in this encounter between Bayern Leverkusen and Atalanta where the German champions are seen as the favourite team to lift the trophy. I honestly do not think that Atalanta will win because not only is Bayern Leverkusen good at what they do but luck is really on their side. We have seen it play out when they faced AS Roma and we have equally lost count of how often it happens in their just concluded Bundesliga matches.

I also favor Bayer Leverkusen as the team that will lift the Europa League trophy this season after seeing the efforts that Bayer Leverkusen has made this season. Although in general Atalanta is also dangerous if it is underestimated, because luck can happen to any team so I also don't deny that it happens to the Atalanta team. However, for now I prefer Bayer Leverkusen as the team that will win the Europa League trophy this season for reasons that are quite clear.

If you ask me who is the club that is capable of winning Europa League, I will say that it is Leverkusen base on current form and current match achievements this season. It is clear that Leverkusen have achieved success this season and that alone will tell you that they are out of or business this season.

Atalanta is a team that is unpredictable but they need to come up with the fighting spirit to fight till the end just like the spirit of Leverkusen, also Atalanta should not let Leverkusen lead the match if not they might not be able to equalize the goal, just might own thoughts.

Leverkusen are still crushing every obstacle that gets ahead of them.  Bochum was the last victim and Augsburg is about to be the next one. The winning streak has reached 50 matches.

They are coming for the Europa League trophy as well for sure.    On the other hand, Atalanta have just lost the opportunity to achieve a Coppa Italia trophy by losing to Juventus. They might be a little down in morale due to that result. They have been performing really differently in the Europa League though. However I don't believe they can finish Leverkusen's streak. Is there anyone who has a counter argument to this?

When you come to the final match, you should already know what you have to do. Including Atalanta, they could hurt Leverkusen and thwart their efforts to win the Europa League title even though Leverkusen has been named the unbeatable team in the Bundesliga and Europa League so far.

Finals is known for surprises such as the favourite team losing but I don't think that will happen in this encounter between Bayern Leverkusen and Atalanta where the German champions are seen as the favourite team to lift the trophy. I honestly do not think that Atalanta will win because not only is Bayern Leverkusen good at what they do but luck is really on their side. We have seen it play out when they faced AS Roma and we have equally lost count of how often it happens in their just concluded Bundesliga matches.

The final is a very important match to win. Every club that is able to reach the final will show their best performance. Surprises can indeed happen but it is unlikely because this is not a match in the domestic league where the favorite club can still lose, but for international competitions I think the clubs will appear different and more impressive, especially with Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season. I am very confident that this club will win the UEL title. I have more confidence in German clubs at the moment than Serie A clubs.

Even though Atalanta's performance is getting better in Serie A, that doesn't change my belief about Bayer Leverkusen, this club has shown its impressive performance even until the match in the Bundesliga has ended and Bayer Leverkusen finished in first place without losing so if you judge it in terms of performance I think Bayer Leverkusen is better than Atalanta in every way.

Atalanta is still fighting for some Champions LEague spot on Serie A, so maybe they can come to the final with a Champions LEague next seasons ecured, or more tired and without that, is a minor thing but in the overall analisys still a important thing to know when we are gonna analize the final.

Until now LEverkusen is 65% odds and Atalanta 35% odds for me.

Even though I am a fan of Italian football, I still think that Leverkusen is the closest to winning the final. Atalanta is indeed difficult to predict. This club is always full of surprises when facing a strong team. but sometimes they still make mistakes in completing an attack. As happened in the Coppa Italia Final match against Juventus. Atalanta wasted too many opportunities. So this will make us doubt them in the European League Final. Leverkusen looks better prepared. And their unbeaten record is still strong to this day.

Sorry guys, I want to correct a little about what you said if Atlanta is still struggling in Serie A for the champions league zone, previously I wanted to say if this season Serie A gets 5 slots for the team to play in the champions league next season, while Atlanta is now ranked 5th in the Serie A standings with 66 points, while Roma who are ranked 63 points and only 3 points behind Atlanta,  If Atlanta lose their last two remaining games, of course Atlanta still has a better points difference than Roma, so indeed for now Atlanta no longer need to fight to reach the Champions League zone next season because indeed they have long had a tickets.

Currently, Atlanta is definitely focusing on the European League final as their main target this season and in my opinion they no longer have a burden on Serie A after they succeeded in securing a place in the Champions League next season, when we look at Leverkusen performance which is indeed in very good condition and even being able to maintain an unbeaten record, of course it is not surprising if they have a greater chance of winning the European league this season.

Leverkusen are one level above Atalanta, Xabi Alonso squad unbeatable reputation convinces everyone to bet on them. If you can't beat Juventus, then clearly Atalanta won't be able to beat Leverkusen either, unless Atalanta achieves a miracle and Leverkusen plays very badly. Therefore, even though the match will be fierce, I think Leverkusen has the strength to overcome Atalanta resistance later.

Expectations for Atalanta are higher because they were surprisingly able to get rid of Liverpool, but in reality their strength and consistency are still far behind Leverkusen. However, Atalanta success in reaching the final deserves appreciation, they have shown tireless hard work. Now everyone is waiting for the Europa League final, to see how Leverkusen defend their impressive record against Atalanta.

As far as I know, Atalanta has secured a ticket to the Champions League next season through the Serie A standings because AS Roma was unable to catch them so if Atalanta is defeated in the European League final match, it doesn't matter, they already have tickets or vice versa Atalanta win then they have 2 tickets. We know that most people predict Leverkusen has a greater chance of winning the trophy but basically there is no reason to underestimate Atalanta because Atalanta has a good history before reaching the final.

Last season Europa League final was one example, when AS Roma was the main favorite but in the end Sevilla managed to win it, we really don't know what scenario will happen especially if the match has to end through a penalty shootout. Leverkusen and Atalanta are teams that have strong defenses so there is a possibility that the match will end in a draw.

Leverkusen is having a remarkable season that makes people think that they are way better than Atalanta. However, Looking at the last several games, Atalanta have been having a great consistency where they are have a long winning streak that grant them a ticket to play in Champions League next season. The loss against Juventus is a setback that brings doubt about Atalanta to win against a good team.

The win over Liverpool have made them gaining a confidence booster, and since then, they have a great consistency in the league. Leverkusen is consistent at not losing games, but they were having draws in last some games. Considering all these, I think Leverkusen and Atalanta share a fair chance to win the trophy, but just Leverkusen is a bit more favorite due to their this season records.

Atalanta is indeed struggling for another Champions League spot through the Seria A top four spot which can be achieved if they win their last two Seria A matches which will be played after the UEFA Europa League final against the German Bundesliga’s champions Bayer Leverkusen.

If Atalanta can win Leverkusen, then they will be very happy and the team will be the luckiest team this season because defeating a team that has gone the whole season without being defeated in all competitions will be very difficult especially in a final match which will make them to win treble for the season for the first time. Therefore, I am not seeing any chance on paper for Atalanta to win this title, but they can still be lucky to win it.

For Atalanta to lose their current position of finishing the season in the top five of the Italian Serie A table, they must lose their last two games of the season while Roma wins theirs with over 9 goals margin and that's why I think it's almost impossible to stop Atalanta from playing in the UEFA Champions League competition come next season. This Wednesday, Atalanta will travel to Dublin in United Kingdom to face Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League final game and are very focused in that game because if they for any reason defeat German champions Bayer Leverkusen, it'll definite their season asca club.
After the Europa League final, Atalanta last two league games of the are two home games season against Torino and Fiorentina and there's no way they'll lose the two matches

It must not be a problem for atalanta. Roma has three points gap to the atalanta, atalanta has 2 unplayed matches. It will give atalanta 6 points. It's almost impossible for roma to qualify for the UCL. Atalanta needs only 1 point more in order to keep UCL spot next season. Im sure atalanta have been prioritizing the fight against torino and leverkusen.

It will be a perfect result if atalanta will able to secure UCL and europa league. Winning against leverkusen will help atalanta to qualify for UCL through getting europa league.

Until now LEverkusen is 65% odds and Atalanta 35% odds for me.

NO doubt since leverkusen is invicible. Atalanta may be the team that will break the invicible record owner by leverkusen. gesperini must order his club to play passively and relying upon its counter attack against leverkusen.

Leverkusen is having a remarkable season that makes people think that they are way better than Atalanta. However, Looking at the last several games, Atalanta have been having a great consistency where they are have a long winning streak that grant them a ticket to play in Champions League next season. The loss against Juventus is a setback that brings doubt about Atalanta to win against a good team.

The win over Liverpool have made them gaining a confidence booster, and since then, they have a great consistency in the league. Leverkusen is consistent at not losing games, but they were having draws in last some games. Considering all these, I think Leverkusen and Atalanta share a fair chance to win the trophy, but just Leverkusen is a bit more favorite due to their this season records.   

I admit that Leverkusen are in top form and have performed very consistently which marks a great season, even better than Atalanta in certain aspects. However, Atalanta should not be ignored either. Although they were beaten by Juventus after their impressive winning streak, this clearly showed their strength but also their resilience to come back. Atalanta's win against Liverpool did boost their confidence and showed their ability to compete with top teams, but the consistency they showed made them a strong contender in the league and thus continued to survive.

While Leverkusen may be favored based on their season form, Atalanta's improved form, especially in high-stakes encounters puts them ahead in terms of victory. Both teams are equally capable and have the potential to become winners, therefore we anticipate an interesting and even balanced match.

The final is a very important match to win. Every club that is able to reach the final will show their best performance. Surprises can indeed happen but it is unlikely because this is not a match in the domestic league where the favorite club can still lose, but for international competitions I think the clubs will appear different and more impressive, especially with Bayer Leverkusen's performance this season. I am very confident that this club will win the UEL title. I have more confidence in German clubs at the moment than Serie A clubs.

Even though Atalanta's performance is getting better in Serie A, that doesn't change my belief about Bayer Leverkusen, this club has shown its impressive performance even until the match in the Bundesliga has ended and Bayer Leverkusen finished in first place without losing so if you judge it in terms of performance I think Bayer Leverkusen is better than Atalanta in every way.

The atmosphere in each final match is of course very different, where both teams will feel extraordinary pressure, because they both have the ambition to beat each other to win the trophy. Leverkusen, who have gone 51 matches without being defeated, are certainly more resistant to pressure than Atalanta, Xabi fleet looks very confident of being able to win the Europa League trophy this season.

Regarding surprises, a number of clubs have tried to do it, but so far no team has been able to beat Leverkusen. Atalanta still has the opportunity to try it, but luck seems to be on Leverkusen side. Atalanta indeed has the attributes to thwart Leverkusen efforts to achieve a treble winner, but Leverkusen attributes look more complete to overcome it.

If Leverkusen faced Liverpool in the final, perhaps everyone would find it difficult to predict the final result of this season Europa League final match. In this case, Leverkusen is considered lucky because they are facing Atalanta, not Liverpool, who were previously favored by many. Xabi cold hands have made Leverkusen a scary team at the moment.

Atalanta did well from this tournament compared to last season that made them to experience so many challenges that made their performance not to satisfy their fans, but they did what make their fans to celebrate them for the consistency winning.

Bayer Leverkusen did well too in this tournament to maintain the high points to this current position, which is a surprised to many people because they refuse to lose any game to their opponent and they have talented players that don't use to give up easily to their opponent.

Bayer Leverkusen have plenty chance to lift this trophy and other trophies in this season, because they are standing in a better chance to showcase what will make people to celebrate them for lifting UEFA champions league trophy which is their major target.

Atalanta and Leverkusen have a similar seasonal consistency, they kept in position to fight for top four finish. Xabi Alonso has changed Leverkusen to be a powerhouse in Bundesliga and Europa League. This season, Leverkusen is not only different, but also having a remarkable season that is almost impossible to compete with.

Despite anything can happen in football, I don't think Head to Head history is accurate to to determine the chances of who deserves to be the favorite while Leverkusen is having a freak season. However, the latest performance is more rational to analyze the chance. Atalanta is having their peak form this season with a long winning streak that leads them to have big chance to finish top four, but they fail to win Copa Italia by lost to Juventus. Leverkusen is in a high morale to gain their biggest achievement in the history of the club, this kind of spirit is scary to play against.

Of course, recent team performance is the most realistic thing to use as a benchmark in determining both teams' title chances, but ignoring H2H completely is also unjustified. I have seen many teams play very badly in a season but they have a good performance when they face an opponent they often beat in their head-to-head record. It seems simple, but there are many teams who always want to maintain their H2H record and this will also motivate Atalanta to do better.

Even though I am aware that Leverkusen is the favorite in the final, because Atalanta has a pretty good record and performance, both teams have their own chances of winning. Many users are optimistic about Leverkusen, but in football this kind of optimism may not always correspond to what is expected as the final result of a match.

It is not possible to consider the favorite team for this year's Europa League final considering the performance of the two teams in the head-to-head matches or the performance of these two teams in the previous season. Because the performance of the Leverkusen team this season is completely different. Leverkusen is performing well this season. And Leverkusen's performance is surprising everyone. Leverkusen have not lost a single match this season.

Although the Leverkusen team is in very good form, the Atalanta team cannot be considered weak. Although Leverkusen is strong, Atalanta's players have the ability to beat Leverkusen. So no doubt this match is going to be very competitive.

I don't think Atalanta is really in any form of difficult situation regarding the Champions League qualification next season. They are 3 points ahead of their major contender, AS Roma and still have two matches to go whereas Roma just have their last match against Enpoli, another team that need to win their next match in order to escape relegation.  Atalanta can easily win Torino and possibly draw Fiorentina, either of which will confirm their spot in the Champions League next season. So, I don't think this will deter them from giving their best in the Europa League final.

Until now LEverkusen is 65% odds and Atalanta 35% odds for me.

This is a fair rating if you ask me. I expect it to even increase more in favour of Bayern Leverkusen as we get closer to the date of the match reason being that they are obviously the favorite side and it will take only luck for Atalanta to defeat them.

Atalanta is now certain to qualify for the UCL League next season because Atalanta has two matches remaining and As Roma has one match remaining. So Atalanta only needs a draw to qualify. Even if the scenario is that Atalanta loses the remaining two matches and As Roma wins the remaining matches, Atalanta will still qualify because the points are the same but Atalanta wins on goal difference. So in my opinion Atalanta's main focus at the moment is the European league final, I don't mean to rule out the Serie A match, but their position in the Serie A standings is safe to secure a ticket to the UCL league next season.

Until now LEverkusen is 65% odds and Atalanta 35% odds for me.

This season's Europa League final match was very interesting and of course fierce. Because you could say that these two teams were a surprise, so this Europa final is full of history. Indeed, if you look at Leverkusen's performance this season, it would not be surprising if they qualified for the final, except for Atalanta. But don't take Atalanta lightly if Leverkusen's fate doesn't want to be like Liverpool's. Atalanta is currently on fire even though it is not as great as Leverkusen's performance, but in the final match of course all teams will appear different because the final match is full of pressure and mentality.

Currently, Atlanta is definitely focusing on the European League final as their main target this season and in my opinion they no longer have a burden on Serie A after they succeeded in securing a place in the Champions League next season, when we look at Leverkusen performance which is indeed in very good condition and even being able to maintain an unbeaten record, of course it is not surprising if they have a greater chance of winning the European league this season.

The Bundeliga and Serie A have 5 slots to qualify directly for the Champions League group stages next season after the implementation of the new format. This is clearly welcomed and with it Atalanta has claimed a ticket to next season's Champions League due to its points tally. Atalanta and Roma can still have the same points if Roma can win the final match of the season and Atalanta loses the remaining two matches, but Atalanta looks more confident in going to the Champions League than Roma.

Leverkusen's performance throughout this season has been very good and it is very difficult for any team that is their opponent this season to stop this run. Leverkusen managed to close the Bundesliga season with an unbeaten record, meanwhile they will also try to do the same in the Europa League. Atalanta has a chance, but not as high as Leverkusen based on their recent performance.

It's hard to know how people think, so while the coach can tell them to play without underestimating their opponent some players might have the thought on their mind. But they're professional footballers with good form anyway, so there's a higher guarantee that something like being complacent won't happen. I do hope there's a surprise so the match is interesting to watch for neutrals. Stuff like going to extra time, winning goals in the last minute of the match, etc. It will be stressful for the fans though.

When the players have felt how it feels when they have difficulty competing in competitions, the players will definitely know what to do when the coach has directed the players not to brag too much about having won in many matches because arrogance will boomerang for them when their opponents are able to put up fiercer resistance and provide a surprise. I don't think the Leverkusen players will do that, they know that the opponent they are facing is not a weak opponent because Atalanta was able to beat Liverpool in the quarter-final match. So Leverkusen must not underestimate Atalanta and prepare yourself to perform as well as possible to win the Europa League title.

Indeed, in the Europa League there is usually always a surprise at the end and the favorite club has difficulty winning this title but I think Leverkusen is different, they deserve to be the favorites to win the Europa League title because of their strong performance in all competitions and Xabi Alonso has prepared a good strategy to beat his opponent in the final, they do have the same chance of getting the title but Leverkusen's confidence is greater than that so I think the Leverkusen players will perform as well as possible because they are full of confidence.
