UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[Oluwa-btc]

Even though they appear as favorites, Liverpool cannot underestimate their opponent, Atalanta. Because Atalanta themselves can do something that can surprise them, so they have to be alert in this match. Atalanta themselves definitely won't want to be beaten so easily by Liverpool, they will try to win, especially when they play as hosts. Atalanta will definitely prepare their best to give Liverpool a fight in this match.
Liverpool themselves will definitely make the best use of this match, with favorite status in their hands, it will make them more confident when playing the match. However, I once reminded them not to try to underestimate their opponent, whoever their opponent will be in the future. Jurgen Klopp himself must be able to divide his focus because Liverpool is also in a very tight competition in the English League, so they must be able to finish their matches one by one, both in the European League and in the English League, because if they lose focus in a match, then that would knock them out.

Good attacking side I must say about Atalanta, bit are they consistent? No! Games they're to take three points back home or win they'd end up drawing which has dragged them downstairs. They should have been amongst the top four clubs in Seria A Competition but they let inconsistency pull them down.

Since they're two good attacking sides, they would definitely score plenty goals or one of them clubs would exploit the other club. Most importantly, the best defending club would come out victorious and most likely move to the next round.
Jurgen Klopp leaving and he would want to add a second trophy while he leaves. The management of Liverpool should also be careful of who's brought in to handle the club so they don crumble like Manchester United.

Liverpool are indeed the most favourite for the trophy,and with what I'm seeing,they want to win atleast a trebble cup for Joghen Klopp who wants to retire from football at the end of his career at Liverpool.He has done an incredible job at the team and would be looking forward to retiring with atleast three trophies to his name before the end of the season.
I don't see Atalanta as a competition to Liverpool because I know they can flog Atalanta anytime anyday.Atalanta doesn't have the players that can win a trophy from Liverpool, because in England Liverpool attack line and Arsenal's own are the best in England at the moment.

Liverpool been the favourite for the trophy is actually resulting in the fact that their Coach will be leaving after this season and every efforts are on ground bro give him this last honor just before he leaves because amongst all the trophies he has won the Europa is one which he has never gotten to lift since his arrival at Liverpool and so it will be of Great Honor I'd he gets to win this last one he will be wit witnessing at Liverpool.

If Leverkusen gets to strip Liverpool of the trophy probably when they happen to meet at the finals it will be a huge loss for Liverpool because they will never get to win the Europa again with klop as their coach and with the much he has done for them, he's deserving of winning this just before he goes but then again he's still having the premier league to tackle and possibly win too which isn't an easy task to actually carry out on its own so everything is actually really daunting on him at the moment but I'm optimistic about his team and his strategy to help him get results.

The Europa this season is going bro really be one of a kind because they are definitely going to see a lot of action following the determination of all the teams currently to winning the trophy and it also happens that the bigger teams in their domestic leagues are aswell in the Europa therby raising the pressure on the participants because every mistake will definitely cost them a thing or the other in the race for the league title.

I totally agree with that. Atalanta have good and capable players but they haven't been much consistent in the Serie A for a quite long time period. As far as I can remember their start to the season wasn't this bad. They just couldn't keep up the good work.    Now they are trying to hold onto a European tournament spot at least but their job is quite difficult.

Can they put up a good fight against Liverpool? They can be better than Sparta Prague at least.    However I still don't see a big chance for Atalanta to get past Liverpool hindrance. Maybe Liverpool lost to Manchester United newly but this still doesn't change the fact that Liverpool are really strong this season.

Still not equal compared to the liverpool. Atalanta was also a giant killer in the serie a but the next fight totally different compared when atalanta was facing the big clubs in serie a. It's starting with the gameplay and pattern used by liverpool. I can't still imagine how atalanta can hold liverpool in the next stage.
Liverpool will be totally dominating the match soon. The quality of clubs are the main difference here since atlanta is not having good squad as liverpool. Liverpool's level is also far above atalanta at this moment. It's hard to me think about atalanta win the game against liverpool.

Can they put up a good fight against Liverpool? They can be better than Sparta Prague at least.    However I still don't see a big chance for Atalanta to get past Liverpool hindrance. Maybe Liverpool lost to Manchester United newly but this still doesn't change the fact that Liverpool are really strong this season.

Atalanta can't or can. This totally depends on the strategy that will be used by this club. If atalanta will able consistently defensive against liverpool and it will have chance to win the game. Liverpool is surely going fully offensive against atalanta soon.
The fact is that if liverpool is one of strongest team in the ePL. it's also in the sme level as manchester city which was able winning multiple trophies last season. Im sure that you know how strong manchester city is now.

[QueenVera]

TBH, I want to see these two popular teams to meet in the final round but I still want to see the drawing of the next match schedule and indeed Liverpool and Leverkusen get guaranteed to qualify for the semi finals but we don't know whether the two teams will not meet in the round semi finals or will only fight other teams.
like in UCL when most people want to see Man City and Madrid meet in the final round but apparently have to meet in the quarter finals and this could have happened to Leverkusen and Liverpool.
so there is no doubt if Liverpool and Leverkusen qualify for the final round but depending on the match schedule in the semi final round and hopefully these two teams will not meet in the semi finals.

In the Europa League, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest. Even though days back, the playoffs stage was concluded and there we saw few teams earn advancement tickets. Well from the beginning of the tournament, we know that it'll only be the tough teams that'd survive. Also predicting the winner this season would be hard as there are a number of tough teams to pick from. The highest we can do is to just analyze these teams based on their overtime performances this season and bringing that in the picture.

 The highest probable winner would be Leverkusen, then Liverpool and any other team behind. In essence it's safe to say that if the draws are favourable, then Liverpool would battle with Leverkusen in the final game of the tournament. Between these two teams, Liverpool have been trying though, they're anticipating the EPL trophy, and as well the Carabao cup too where they weeks ago won Chelsea to secure the trophy.With this in their minds, the next goal will be to keep advancing in the UEL and staying intact in the EPL too.

 For Leverkusen, they've been impactful, currently the top spot in the Bundesliga too and so they've got same goal as Liverpool and therefore if in recent times they've remained unbeaten, then I doubt that there'd be a negative difference now when the tournament and season is almost rounded up. For me, I'll really love to see the heated game between Leverkusen and Liverpool in the UEL soon though and I have a feeling they'd be made to play against themselves.

[rahmad2nd]

Correct. As the favorite team to win the Europa League this season, Liverpool is indeed superior to Atalanta because in terms of player quality, Liverpool is much better than Atalanta. However, Liverpool still have to be careful and not underestimate Atalanta, who is considered unable to make things difficult for Liverpool.

The reason is that if you look at history, Atalanta once beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield in the UCL League event even though afterwards they lost heavily 0-5 at home. This indirectly proves that Atalanta could potentially cause a surprise in the current match, especially in its attack line which could be said to be a surprise for the opponent's defense.

IMO, it's not just about Atalanta beating Liverpool, but more about the match after match that Liverpool will play.  Whether in the Premier League, or in this competition. before these two teams meet in the quarter-final match later. Liverpool will play three matches in domestic competition. The match against Brighton could be an obstacle for Liverpool. or, the match against Manchester United at Old Trafford ahead of the match against Atalanta later. what is certain is that the Domestic League competition is Jurgen Kloop's main priority over the Europa League. the reason is, if Jurgen Kloop's team squad slips. well, both Manchester City and Arsenal will widen the points gap from Liverpool. thus, it becomes a loss for Liverpool in its competition for the Domestic League trophy. so, Jurgen Kloop's main focus must be to secure the match they will play before hosting Atalanta in the Euopa League quarter-finals.

However, if we refer to betting market options for a while, Liverpool is far superior to Atalanta. which means, Liverpool has a very high probability of overthrowing this team from Serie A. moreover, this match will be held at Anfield.
By the way, this quarter-final match still has a time gap. so let's wait, while watching Liverpool and Atalanta play their matches in their domestic competition.

[mammusu]

The two Italian sides were paired to play  ???against each other in the quarter finals, any of them that managed to get to the semifinals will be among the favorites because checking other teams left in the competition, they are the top teams alongside Leverkusen and Liverpool which are considered favorites to win the Europa League this season.
After the quarterfinals, if Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen escaped to the semifinals, one of them will end up winning the Europa League because they will likely become finalists.

Indirectly, there will be fewer Italian representatives with this meeting in the quarterfinals and in my opinion this is the same as reducing the existing team of champion candidates. If Milan and Roma do not meet in the quarterfinals, it is possible that the two of them could meet in the final. However, it still feels impossible considering that Liverpool and Leverkusen are still the two main favorites to win the European league title.

These two teams meet very often in domestic competitions, therefore they should be able to know the weaknesses and strengths of each team. This will be a European League match with a Serie A feel, yes that's because they come from the same league. For now, AC Milan is more favored than AS Roma, yes, that's because in the Serie A standings, AC Milan is in a better place. AS Roma under the direction of De Rossi continues to show good progress at this time. This is good capital for them before facing AC Milan in the quarter-finals.

The chances of these two teams are closed to win the Scudetto title, so maybe in this European League they will maximize their best to be able to win at least 1 title this season. Thus they will not want to be knocked out by their opponents. I hope this will be a very interesting match for us to see, I hope they will play attacking each other in the match later. This hope exists when De Rossi is in the coaching position, because if they are still with Mourinho, AS Roma will tend to play defensively.

[bering]

Maybe that's a scenario that could happen without us expecting because after all we can't knock Milan or Roma off the path of the current champions in the Europa League, the possibility of Leverkusen and Liverpool meeting in the semi-finals is of course inevitable because after all the big 4 teams have the opportunity to qualify for the semi-finals, and if indeed they meet sooner, of course it is worthy for us to call the match a final that comes sooner than the one we expect, But when Liverpool and Leverkusen meet the semifinal, won't it be a pretty exciting match before we see the real final?.

So far many of us hope Liverpool and Leverkusen can meet in the final, but instead I personally see if Milan also have a great chance to reach the final round to face Leverkusen or Liverpool later, Liverpool and Leverkusen's journey in the Europa League looks easier for them because they have to face teams below their level, but not so with Milan who have been tested in the Europa League competition so far,So I think Milan, Liverpool and Leverkusen are strong candidates to reach the final this season.

As far i know Liverpool and Leverkusen won't met at the semifinal matches this because drawing scheme for quarterfinal stages makes them won't met early before the final match and if Liverpool can able to eliminate Atalanta and advances to the semifinal matches then Liverpool will facing the opponent between the winner of match Benfica vs Marseille even so with Leverkusen because if Leverkusen can able to overcomes West Ham then they will facing AC Milan or AS Roma in the semifinal matches so the ideal final between them is very possible to happend if Leverkusen and Liverpool can able to beat their opponents before reach to the final match

Klopp has been confirmed with Liverpool he was targetting the trophy from this competition and for Leverkusen Xabi Alonso has try to be realistic and not too focusing to gets the trophy but Leverkusen achievement makes people choose them as the favourite but don't underestimate other teams such as Milan and Roma because these teams potentially can gets the trophy too especially Roma because they are the finalist of last season even so with Benfica although their performance is not impressive but they also can be considers as dark horses team in Europa League so it's very intetesting to know which teams who can able to the final match and gets the trophy

[hahay]

Some say that Milan - Roma draw isn't so much fun because of being like a usual match in the Serie A. However I still find it attracting because of its being between serious title contenders.

None of them is shown as the top favourite to become champions here though. But we never know as it is the Europa League.    Even in the Champions League we could have seen a quite different champion like Inter last season. Returning to the draw, Milan are the favourite by the odds. For the championship there is a serious gap too - Milan: 8.00, Roma: 13.00.

Do you believe there is really a this big gap between these teams now? I don't think so. I would rather bet on Roma to try my luck if I'm to choose between them for the EL title. 

Yes indeed, I also think that the match between Milan v AS Roma in the Europa League quarter-finals this time will still be interesting. But for me, just because AS Roma this match becomes interesting the reason is, because De Rossi is able to make AS Roma have high aggressiveness in making goals, then every match played by AS Roma at this moment for me will still be interesting. No matter that Milan's position in the Serie A standings is better than AS Roma but anyway, the fact is that at this moment AS Roma also managed to improve the quality of its performance. Therefore, if usually Serie A teams meet or play against Serie A teams too then the match will be boring, but at this moment I think the match will still be interesting because AS Roma are still able to play well and are able to make good goals too.

[Farma]

These two teams meet very often in domestic competitions, therefore they should be able to know the weaknesses and strengths of each team. This will be a European League match with a Serie A feel, yes that's because they come from the same league. For now, AC Milan is more favored than AS Roma, yes, that's because in the Serie A standings, AC Milan is in a better place. AS Roma under the direction of De Rossi continues to show good progress at this time. This is good capital for them before facing AC Milan in the quarter-finals.

The chances of these two teams are closed to win the Scudetto title, so maybe in this European League they will maximize their best to be able to win at least 1 title this season. Thus they will not want to be knocked out by their opponents. I hope this will be a very interesting match for us to see, I hope they will play attacking each other in the match later. This hope exists when De Rossi is in the coaching position, because if they are still with Mourinho, AS Roma will tend to play defensively.

These two teams should already know each other's weaknesses, but currently there is something a little different, Roma with their new coach, De Rossi, who has continuously improved the quality of the team, makes Milan a little difficult and on the other hand, AC Milan is also in its best performance. .
I think these two teams have almost the same strength and this is a difficult match for both of them and in terms of the percentage of qualifying for the semifinals I think both teams are the same, no one is more favored.

[pusaka]

Yes indeed, I also think that the match between Milan v AS Roma in the Europa League quarter-finals this time will still be interesting. But for me, just because AS Roma this match becomes interesting the reason is, because De Rossi is able to make AS Roma have high aggressiveness in making goals, then every match played by AS Roma at this moment for me will still be interesting. No matter that Milan's position in the Serie A standings is better than AS Roma but anyway, the fact is that at this moment AS Roma also managed to improve the quality of its performance. Therefore, if usually Serie A teams meet or play against Serie A teams too then the match will be boring, but at this moment I think the match will still be interesting because AS Roma are still able to play well and are able to make good goals too.

You are right, even though we have often seen them when they meet in Serie A, in the European League the match atmosphere will be a little different, so that will make the match dance in my opinion. And also De Rossi seems to have brought a change for the better at the moment, yes, even though it is not a very significant change, in his hands AS Roma can show something that they have not shown before, one of which is when they attack.
They will both want to win this match to advance to the next round. AC Milan is slightly favored because they have a better performance than AS Roma, but this does not rule out the opportunity for AS Roma to win the match and eliminate AC Milan from the European League this season.

[Palakka]

Yes indeed, I also think that the match between Milan v AS Roma in the Europa League quarter-finals this time will still be interesting. But for me, just because AS Roma this match becomes interesting the reason is, because De Rossi is able to make AS Roma have high aggressiveness in making goals, then every match played by AS Roma at this moment for me will still be interesting. No matter that Milan's position in the Serie A standings is better than AS Roma but anyway, the fact is that at this moment AS Roma also managed to improve the quality of its performance. Therefore, if usually Serie A teams meet or play against Serie A teams too then the match will be boring, but at this moment I think the match will still be interesting because AS Roma are still able to play well and are able to make good goals too.

The quarterfinal match between Roma and Ac Milan is like a match in Serie A, the two teams have so far met countless times in the domestic league and of course they have known each other's strengths, but even so of course the match will be very different because both teams will have greater motivation to beat each other to get 1 ticket to the semifinals of the Europa League,  Currently Ac Milan is a consistent team in the league and that is what makes them able to occupy the runner up position in the current Serie A standings, besides that a more balanced squad depth is certainly the reason if Milan this season is strong enough in the league.

As Roma who are now managed by De Rossi have of course experienced significant changes in terms of their performance, but I think it will be vulnerable for us to bet on Roma's victory over AC Milan, I personally will be more inclined to make Milan the favorite team in that match, not only because Milan is currently still stronger than Roma but of course AC Milan's mentality and experience in European competitions so far makes me more convinced Milan will win over Roma.

[wmaurik]

Although atlanta has the potential to trouble Liverpool and be able to beat Liverpool. but I think Liverpool will have no significant obstacles and can easily advance to the semifinals.

Atalanta in its own domestic league is still quite overwhelmed in getting its best position at the moment, so I don't think that Atalanta will be able to trouble Liverpool in the Europa League this season because Liverpool is a very strong team in the Premier League and has also shown its strength in the Europa League this season. This means that Atalanta may be just an ordinary opponent for Liverpool in the Europa League quarter-final match.

[tusandii]

You are of course right, Liverpool could lose against Atalanta but I think Liverpool are the favourites. Atalanta has a fairly productive attack line and so far they have proven their abilities by scoring 12 goals in the group stage and 3 goals in the round of 16. Liverpool  have to be aware of the possibility of defeat, that's can make them fail to win a semifinal ticket. So it is not certain which of the two they will qualify for the semifinals.

Liverpool have 3 matches in the Premier League before the Europa League quarter-final match against Atalanta, so maybe this could also affect the team in the Europa League, especially if several players get injured before the match. I'm support Liverpool to win that ticket, but not underestimating Atalanta.

Although atlanta has the potential to trouble Liverpool and be able to beat Liverpool. but I think Liverpool will have no significant obstacles and can easily advance to the semifinals.

Correct. As the favorite team to win the Europa League this season, Liverpool is indeed superior to Atalanta because in terms of player quality, Liverpool is much better than Atalanta. However, Liverpool still have to be careful and not underestimate Atalanta, who is considered unable to make things difficult for Liverpool.

This indirectly proves that Atalanta could potentially cause a surprise in the current match, especially in its attack line which could be said to be a surprise for the opponent's defense.

Liverpool are indeed the most favourite for the trophy,and with what I'm seeing,they want to win atleast a trebble cup for Joghen Klopp who wants to retire from football at the end of his career at Liverpool.He has done an incredible job at the team and would be looking forward to retiring with atleast three trophies to his name before the end of the season.
I don't see Atalanta as a competition to Liverpool because I know they can flog Atalanta anytime anyday.Atalanta doesn't have the players that can win a trophy from Liverpool, because in England Liverpool attack line and Arsenal's own are the best in England at the moment.

If we talk about the desire to get the treble winner title, it seems like it will be very difficult, even though in the UEL, Liverpool was able to win the title, but in other competitions Liverpool will fail and in the PL competition it will definitely be very difficult to compete with Manchester City.
Actually, the treble winner title is not something that is prioritized, but the UEL title will be prioritized and this is what Klopp will achieve to give a special gift to Liverpool.
No matter how strong the club they are facing, Klopp will always encourage the Liverpool players to continue trying to win the UEL title.

As we can see, Liverpool is currently under a bit of pressure when Klopp is about to leave his club and the pressure comes when Moh Salah is injured and even though he is now able to appear again with Liverpool, Klopp must really maintain the physical health of this mainstay player or else he will a big disaster for Klopp.
Competing in the UEL will not be easy so Klopp will not think too much about the PL title but will focus more on maintaining the players' physicality so they can perform optimally in the UEL.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I respect Atalanta's effort until reaching this round. However I'm afraid it looks like this is the end for them.    Liverpool are like a huge favourite to win the Europa League title and the performance they have shown so far is just top level. I must admit that Sparta Prague weren't a big challenge for them but their general look has still been really impressive.  

I don't believe Atalanta are the team that can eliminate them as long as Klopp doesn't make a big mistake in player strategies. I don't think such thing would happen either as Klopp wants to achieve whatever he can before leaving.

Liverpool seems favorable become the Europe League winner not only the impressive performance on 16 round after eliminating Sparta Prague aggregate over 11-2 but also the pot format drawing after facing Atalanta will waiting by Benfica or Marseille.

Difference with other pot drawing schedule exactly for Bayern Leverkusen if qualify to semifinal waiting for the winner between AS Roma or AC Milan are two teams with top performance in domestic league or Europe League knock out round.
Jurgen Klopp want to give as many trophies for Liverpool before leaving his position next season, left domestic league and europe league the most possibility trophies for Liverpool in this season for winning.

[Weawant]

Atalanta in its own domestic league is still quite overwhelmed in getting its best position at the moment, so I don't think that Atalanta will be able to trouble Liverpool in the Europa League this season because Liverpool is a very strong team in the Premier League and has also shown its strength in the Europa League this season. This means that Atalanta may be just an ordinary opponent for Liverpool in the Europa League quarter-final match.

Atlanta deserves some accolades as they have so far tried having gotten to this point of the Europa despite the whole fact they they haven't been in their best form or been the best team either, they are still in the Europa and I think their Europa performance can be seen as been much more better than their performance in their domestic league, invariably they are prioritizing the Europa much more.

Liverpool will actually not see them to be an issue as they actually don't appear like one to them in the fact that Liverpool is in a much more better form than Atlanta in the Europa , a d so meet with them can only means that may be the end of Atlanta's journey through the Europa but with Liverpool it's still some miles ahead because after Atlanta comes other teams they will have to tackle before they will be able to lift the trophy by the end of the Europa league competition this season. Atlanta considerable can now focus on their domestic League after this.

They will be hopeful in the fact that they may be able to get something out of their domestic League, probably get to be able to qualify again for the Europa by next season and if they are much more improved by then, they will be able to see if they can. Make something really good out of the Europa next season and nit just their domestic League alone. Theres still much room for Atlanta but that will have to be by next season.

De Rossi has shown a change for the better for the Roma team since his arrival and it is true that the Europa League match will be different from the match in Serie A even though Roma and Milan have often met in Serie A, but in the Europa League. This season's quarter-final match will have a different tension.

Both teams certainly have the same motivation and also in terms of strength the Roma and Milan teams currently have quite good quality so it is very difficult to predict who will make it to the semifinals, from whatever side I think Roma and Milan are quite equal.

It is true that Roma has started to develop for the better under De Rossi control, but beating Milan in the quarter-finals is not an easy job. In Serie A, Milan performance is slightly better, and to be honest, Milan is more consistent this season than Roma, although the strengths of the two teams are not that different. In reality, Milan has a better chance of advancing to the semi-finals, but it could be that the prediction is wrong and Roma has managed to overcome this tough challenge. If anyone wants to bet, then the match between Milan versus Roma requires a lot of consideration.

The European League always presents unexpected surprises, teams that have difficulty getting tickets to the Champions League in their respective domestic leagues, will usually appear with different performances to win the European League trophy and get tickets to appear in the Champions League next season. Roma were finalists last season, but that was under Jose Mourinho control. So far De Rossi has managed to beat Feyenoord and Brighton to reach the quarter-finals, next Milan will test the quality of his tactics. What is clear is that Roma needs great luck to be able to overthrow Milan.

Good attacking side I must say about Atalanta, bit are they consistent? No! Games they're to take three points back home or win they'd end up drawing which has dragged them downstairs. They should have been amongst the top four clubs in Seria A Competition but they let inconsistency pull them down.

Since they're two good attacking sides, they would definitely score plenty goals or one of them clubs would exploit the other club. Most importantly, the best defending club would come out victorious and most likely move to the next round.
Jurgen Klopp leaving and he would want to add a second trophy while he leaves. The management of Liverpool should also be careful of who's brought in to handle the club so they don crumble like Manchester United.

I agree that Atalanta has a good attacking, they scored many goals in the group phase of UEL and in Serie A. But the problem is Atalanta couldn't maintain their performance, they sometimes become difficult to score goals. In the previous (round of 16), Atalanta looked hard to score goals both in Leg 1 and Leg 2. So, we can't assume that Atalanta can keep their productivity in scoring goals.

But Liverpool always keep their consistency in scoring many goals. In the previous round, Liverpool could score 11 goals (5 goals in Leg 1, 6 goals in Leg 2). I think it indicated that Liverpool attackers can maintain their good performance. All the players seem to have a high motivation to reach the final and win the trophy as well.

By the way, Liverpool seems to be the favorite. Although both Liverpool and Atalanta are productive teams (scoring many goals), but Liverpool looks to maintain the good performance. Meanwhile Atalanta seems difficult to maintain their productivity in scoring goals when they are playing against a strong team like Liverpool. Liverpool defense looks strong as well, so Atalanta won't be easy to score goals.

I totally agree with that. Atalanta have good and capable players but they haven't been much consistent in the Serie A for a quite long time period. As far as I can remember their start to the season wasn't this bad. They just couldn't keep up the good work.    Now they are trying to hold onto a European tournament spot at least but their job is quite difficult.

Can they put up a good fight against Liverpool? They can be better than Sparta Prague at least.    However I still don't see a big chance for Atalanta to get past Liverpool hindrance. Maybe Liverpool lost to Manchester United newly but this still doesn't change the fact that Liverpool are really strong this season.

As Atalanta have qualified for the quarter finals of the Europa League, their performance is not so poor. Atalanta performed relatively well which allowed them to play against Liverpool in the quarter finals. Considering the current performance in the match between Atalanta and Liverpool, Liverpool must be put ahead. Liverpool will definitely be ahead and if no accident happens Liverpool will definitely win against this team and secure the semi-final. I am making this comment based on Liverpool's current performance. As they have been performing consistently in the Europa League and English Premier League, it will not be difficult for Liverpool to overcome the hurdle of the quarter finals.
