UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

[BABY SHOES]

Between Atalanta and Bayer, the probability of both teams scoring a goal is actually good. Atalanta has been scoring a lot of goals lately. There is no need to mention Leverkusen. They also score a lot of goals but concede a lot of goals. I'm sure it will be a highly competitive match. The final between Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen will be very good.

This final is not to be missed as it is very important for us to watch in a few hours.
Both teams do have a chance to score and if Leverkusen miss their usual goal at the end they can always come back under any circumstances because the history of this season Leverkusen has always come back after falling behind which is why many people believe in this club.

A competitive match is obvious but I think both teams will have a lethal present especially Atalanta who have prepared longer even though they lost in the Coppa Italia now the peak of the match.

Xabi Alonso has created a great team. Bayer Leverkusen is unbeaten this season. They are an unbeatable team. However, Atalanta also had a good season in the Italian Serie A. They will probably finish 5th in the Italian Serie A and will be in the Champions League next season. Also, they have won their last 5 games in Serie A. We can say that they have a very good momentum. Tonight, we will watch two good teams play, but I think Bayer Leverkusen will win this match. When I look at the statistics, they haven't lost an official match since July 2023. They finished the Bundesliga 17 points above their closest rivals. They have played perfectly all season long. I think they will continue their excellent play and consistency tonight.

I think all of us here have forgotten how difficult Atlanta journey to the final was and prefer to see Leverkusen unbeaten record as a reference in favoring the Europa League champion this season, it is not wrong if indeed the majority of us here make Leverkusen as the favorite to win after seeing their ability this season, but I think in the final of course everything can happen beyond our expectations,  I think Atlanta, who are most likely to be underestimated in that game, certainly have the same chance to win the game, so far we can see how Atlanta is able to eliminate Liverpool so it is not impossible if Atlanta will be able to inflict the first defeat on Leverkusen this season.

The final match will be played in a few hours, but before of course both teams have prepared their teams well to play in the match, I am quite sure if both teams will play with motivation, fighting power and also high spirit in winning the final match today, but regardless of who can win or win the final match, Of course, as spectators and football connoisseurs, we hope that the final will be competitive enough and also high intensity so that we can really enjoy the match as a final.

The day we have been waiting for has finally arrived, in a matter of hours we will watch the European League final between Atalanta versus Leverkusen. The final will attract the attention of football fans, because Leverkusen will put its unbeaten record on the line to be tested by Atalanta who unexpectedly managed to get rid of Liverpool. Whoever emerges as the winner in the Europa League final this time will make history, as we know, this is not a history that usually happens, this is history that may never be repeated. Of course, we have seen many predictions, which are based on team reputation, statistics, squad depth and the luck created by Atalanta and Leverkusen.

Of course the match will be difficult for both teams, but we hope they play openly, threatening each other with buying and selling attacks, to entertain us all. Personally, I predict that victory will tend to favor Leverkusen, although Atalanta bargaining value cannot be ignored. Betting on Leverkusen victory feels safer, as Leverkusen has gone more than 50 games without a blemish. Apart from all that, it is possible that all our predictions could be wrong, therefore we will see how this historic match ends.

I like many here think Bayer will be champions, but I really hope there will be surprises in this match... Although usually the final matches are not rich in goals, I want to see goals from both teams... By the way, bookmakers give good odds that both teams will score, but favour Bayer... But it's probably safe to take a chance and place a small bet on Atalanta taking the title... The odds are more than 2...

I'm not sure if this match will continue until extra time, or until the penalty shootout. The option of betting on Leverkusen is the ideal choice for me personally, but it is necessary to consider whether Atalanta will be able to provide a surprise. This is a consideration for me personally to see the chances of these two teams, after all, Atalanta proved that they got rid of Liverpool before. if we talk about betting options, there are several options that we can choose from when it involves betting. The safest thing is that both teams will score, the odds provided are also quite decent at @1.71. in addition, the Over 2.5 goals equivalent option refers to the comparison of available odds. so is betting on Leverkusen. Moreover, choosing Leverkusen also means that the odds available are not much different from other odds options.

Except, in this match there are Atalanta supporters who side with their favorite team. ideally, the handicap option with +0.75 is a pretty good option with odds @1.82 although it is still medium risk. Referring to the line-up of players that will be fielded by both teams, Leverkusen is free with injured players. while Atalanta, several of their players were absent. whether the player is important or not, I didn't check. My estimate is that this match will end with a score of 2-1 for Leverkusen. well, let's wait for this match to take place.

I am very neutral in this game. Both teams are very good and Andy of them that wins it deserves it very much. Atalanta has been very good this season, they started the season slowly but now they're doing very well. They have all it takes to win Leverkusen.
Leverkusen on the other hand have been very good all season. They haven't even lost any match this season. Winning the final today would mean they finished the season unbeaten, that's an insane record. I don't think any team have achieved that before.

Knowing how funny and cruel football is, I might just bet on Atalanta to win. Leverkusen are having a fairy tale season, winning the Europa would be the icing on the cake and somehow I have a feeling they might not achieve it. I know they're the better team and the odds are in their favour, but football can be funny at times so I'm sticking with my gut for my bet.

The UEFA Europa League final between Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen will play place at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin tonight. Leverkusen is targeting a second trophy after winning the Bundesliga this season. Meanwhile, Atalanta, having won their last six Serie A matches and qualify for in the final by defeating Marseille in the semi-finals, has recent form on their side. Interestingly, these teams previously met in the 2021-22 Europa League round of 16, with Atalanta winning 4-2 on aggregate. Despite Leverkusen being the favorite, Atalanta’s recent achievements are remarkable.

Atalanta's starting XI against Bayer Leverkusen: Musso, Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac, Zappacosta, Ederson, Koopmeiners, Ruggeri, De Ketelaere, Lookman, Scamacca.

There are many things that have changed in Leverkusen from that period to this period. They are undefeated this year and they did it in the Bundesliga and UEL. This final is their only defeat this season. I don't know if Atalanta will achieve this in this final match. In a few hours, the final match will end and we will see if the great record will continue for Leverkusen. This will be one of the most important matches of the year for Xabi.

[Cityhunter34]

Xabi Alonso let Leverkusen plays very attacking in this season but he is cleverly to command his players to calm down and reduce playing intensity at a right time within each match if necessary. I believe Xabi Alonso will not let his players go playing seriously attacking and lose control of their minds. It's risky as Atalanta shown in their first quarter final match with Liverpool, that how dangerous they are in counter attacking.

The final is always a special match, the mood for it must also be certain, it is important in what mood the team approaches this match. Bayer have been very good throughout the season, but they haven't played in any final yet, I don't know if that matters. Atalanta also had a good end to the season, but they were unable to beat a weakened Juventus in the Italian Cup final, maybe it's not significantly. Today we will find out who will become the champion.

I like many here think Bayer will be champions, but I really hope there will be surprises in this match... Although usually the final matches are not rich in goals, I want to see goals from both teams... By the way, bookmakers give good odds that both teams will score, but favour Bayer... But it's probably safe to take a chance and place a small bet on Atalanta taking the title... The odds are more than 2...

I think tonight is going to be a though match for both Atalanta against Bayern Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa league final, because looking at the both teams performance since the beginning of the season I think they are really good to go, however I'm seeing the match as a goal less draw or at worst a 1:1 score draw.

This particular encounter between Bayern Leverkusen and Atalanta is actually going to be a fascinating encounter no doubt, and I think it's really going to be a tight contested affair between them in my own point of view, but I think Bayern Leverkusen are the clear favourite for this particular encounter here, because of how good they are, and how tactical sound they are, but nothing is being ruled out completely, because Atalanta is a very dangerous team if being underated, so the biggest downfall of Bayern Leverkusen is if they think it's going to be an easy game, then I think that their will be a major surprise, but if they gave no room for complacency, then I believe that they have what it takes to deliver the desired result against this Atalanta side.

Lastly, if this Bayern Leverkusen side can avoid defeat today, then I believe that they are definitely going to be rank as the best team that have ever kept the unbeaten run, due to the higher numbers of games that they have stayed unbeaten.

I think the both teams perfectly deserve their places to be in this final and that's why I don't think it'll be okay to underestimate any of the teams. I'm not a fan of any of both sides but I've got an interest in both teams. Both teams possesses two Nigeria internationals and I'll be very delighted to see the Nigerians shin in the team. Atalanta starts the game with Nigeria attacker  Ademola Lookman while Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface is going to start from the bench.
For Bayer Leverkusen, it'll be a another great milestone achievement of they can get the winning tonight as they've already achieved so many interesting records this season while for Atalanta, it'll also be one of their greatest achievements in the history of the club to win the UEFA Europa League trophy. I'm going to watch the game as a neutral and hopefully the both teams are going to keep everyone entertained through out the
duration of the game.

In fact, this match will also be a revenge match for Leverkusen, who previously lost in the 2022 European League because they were defeated by Atalanta in the round of 16 at that time. Even at that time Leverkusen lost in two legs at once to Atalanta. So Leverkusen's motivation to beat Atalanta in this Final also has two 3 advantages.

First, of course they will win the European League title. Second, Leverkusen will succeed in avenging the past defeats they have experienced. And thirdly, Leverkusen will be the team that maintains its unbeaten record. Which means Leverkusen won the Bundesliga and European League titles without losing at all.

Yes, although in the past Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen have met in the Europa League in the round of 16 but still, the past and current trends have a real difference. Although indeed, Atalanta still has a good trend also in Serie A because it is likely that Aalanta will also finish in the Champion League zone. But still, Atalanta also in fact lost in the Coppa Italia final against Juventus although indeed, these results also cannot be used as a reference material completely. But, considering Bayer Leverkusen is also still targeting a match without defeat, then most likely this final match is not only to get the trophy, but Bayer Leverkusen also has a mission to remain unbeaten.

In a few hours, the final match will end and we will see if the great record will continue for Leverkusen. This will be one of the most important matches of the year for Xabi.

I am also very curious whether Atalanta will be able to become the first team to beat Leverkusen this season. Or maybe Xabi Alonso's team will continue to win without anyone being able to stop it this season. It will be very interesting and I think Atalanta will be able to give Leverkusen trouble but I'm not sure if Atalanta will manage to win. Because sometimes Atalanta always weakens in important matches. For example, in the Coppa Italia final we could see Atalanta losing to Juventus. Even though Juventus was in poor performance at that time. And I hope Atalanta doesn't repeat its mistakes again.

Now the match has started and has entered the 12th minute and even though Liverpool have more possession of the ball, Atalanta seems to be able to put up quite a good fight. and as I write this Atalanta has scored 1 goal. And yes, this is a surprise from the Italian team, which is always a club that is difficult to predict in big competitions.

Well spoken Doncaster. Personally, I am supporting Bayer Leverkusen to win the Europa league trophy due to the history they are making so far as they won the German league ahead of Stuttgart and Bayern Munich this season in an unbeaten run and going with them overall performance, am supporting them to win treble trophy this season but since both teams has two young Stars playing in both teams as you mentioned, I think the better team should win since one of my country man will celebrate if any of the team lift the trophy.

If Bayer Leverkusen end up winning the Europa League trophy today, the unbeaten run will continue and their coach Xabi Alonso will book his name and that of his team as one of the best team in the world because they won both the league trophy and the Europa League trophy in an unbeaten run. Watching the game as a neutral body is not bad but I hope you don't end up supporting the winning team by saying that you predicted them to win at last 😂 😂 😂 , 12 minutes and Atalanta leads.

Atalanta have scored first on the 12th minutes with an easy finish from Lookman. It is now a fierce match as Atalanta have broken the deadlock and they are still pressuring to score the second goal. Atalanta started the match well with a n early goal and this is a good opportunity for them.

Leverkusen on the other hand has not be able to understand the game pattern but I can see that they are getting more confident currently, and I know that they will be able to equalize the goal. When it is Leverkusen playing, it is not yet over until the final whistle.

Atalanta 1-0 Leverkusen.

Despite Leverkusen being the favorite, Atalanta’s recent achievements are remarkable.

If Atalanta will win this game, they have to ignore the record of Bayer Leverkusen and what they have achieved this season, they have to remember their journey to the finals and how it was not easy, how they had to fight to get here.

Atalanta starts the game with Nigeria attacker  Ademola Lookman while Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface is going to start from the bench.

Ademola Lookman have scored the first goal for Atalanta who have started better than Leverkusen. The early goal is a big advantage to Atalanta who have a chance to defend the goal and try to get more, and then a big test of mentality again for Bayer Leverkusen to get back into the game.

[Smartvirus]

Yes, although in the past Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen have met in the Europa League in the round of 16 but still, the past and current trends have a real difference.

The impressive run Bayer Leverkusen has endured this season makes it easy to assume they would be the favorites in this Europa league finals but, from the game play this far, that clearly would be a mistaken qualification of there play. From the kick off, Atalanta have been on the offensive, trying the most they could to set their play around the Atalanta goalkeeper’s box and now, they’ve got an early goal to show for all their effort. A no contest ball as the result of a cut back pass, straight into the part of Lookman. Even then, you can still find Atalanta asking for more, trying to ensure dominance by maintaining possession and control the game.
 Bayer Leverkusen needs to take charge of the possession if they hope to get anything out of this game.

Atalanta 1-0 Leverkusen.

This surprised me a little. I didn't expect Atalanta to be able to score goals faster than I expected. And it doesn't seem like luck. Because I see Atalanta playing with more confidence. they take advantage of opportunities quickly and accurately. Leverkusen did try to break down Atalanta's defense but it was not successful. But Atalanta only managed to get a goal with a few touches and quick attacks. And now the score has even changed to 2-0. Honestly, this is not the final I expected. Leverkusen conceded too easily. It seems I had too high hopes for Leverkusen.

But well, as long as the match isn't over, Leverkusen still has a chance to equalize the score. Although now it has become more difficult because Atalanta has scored 2 goals. Xabi Alonso must have been surprised by what happened there. All of this was definitely beyond the young coach's expectations. Atalanta made a tight defense in this match and could build attacks quickly. But several attempts from Leverkusen's attacks also seemed to be starting to tear apart Atalanta's defense.

Some surprises seems to be happening at the Europa league finals between Atalanta and Bayern Leverkusen as Leverkusen is already losing by 2:0 in 26 minutes and the goals was scored by A. Lookman as he scored the two goals. No one saw this coming at all but Leverkusen will need to buckle up now before Atalanta makes it 3:0 before halftime, what a surprise in just the early minutes of this finals today but let's see how the match we go because Leverkusen is known for coming from behind to draw and even win matches so let's see if same thing will happen because the game is not going in their favour right now.

 Bayer Leverkusen needs to take charge of the possession if they hope to get anything out of this game.

Lookman is on fire and he has scored the second goal to make it 2-0 for Atalanta. It is quite surprising to see how Atalanta was able to score two goals within 15 minutes, and Leverkusen cannot clap back. I don't see this as the Leverkusen that has being unbeaten in Germany. Is it that Leverkusen will do a come back in the second half and win the game or what. I want to see the magic that Leverkusen will do from now till 90 minutes. Otherwise, Atalanta have messed up their unbeaten record and also win the competition.
