Preliminary Review and Match Prediction
Atalanta did very well in the last round eliminating Olympiacos Piraeus 5-1 on aggregate. The notable result was the 3-0 second-leg win in Piraeus, Greece. Amazingly La Dea scored their goals from four shots on target showing great efficiency in attack.
La Dea are having an unstable form in recent weeks after with four wins two draws and four defeats in their last ten home games. Boss Gasperini must be cautious with his defense who have just one clean sheet in their last five home games in all competitions.
On the other side, Bayer Leverkusen prepared for this game with a 1-1 draw away to Bayern Munich. That will surely raise Die Werkself’s confidence who didn’t play in the previous round after they won Group G with four wins one draw and one defeat.
Moreover, boss Gerardo Seoane’s team has a very strong attacking record this season. To point out, in the Europa League, Leverkusen averaged 2.33 goals per game while in the Bundesliga they have the second-best attack with 64 strikes in 25 fixtures.
Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
One thing is for sure, we will witness a very exciting and close tie between these two clubs. Surely they both want to do well and reach the advanced rounds. As a result, we predict a slight advantage to Atalanta being the home side but we will cover the risk with a draw double chance and combine it with under 3.5 goals.
Safe Bet
According to the statistics, there is a 65% chance that both teams will score in this match. In detail, in Atalanta’s last five home games, four times BTTS happened. Likewise, in Leverkusen’s nine of their last ten away games, there were goals at both ends.
Quick Rich
Examining the statistics we find that there is a 30% chance for this match to end in a draw. In addition, both teams are having a very similar season in terms of form with both teams winning 13 and drawing six and eight matches in their respective domestic leagues. With odds of 3.69 for a draw, we think backing it will be a fine choice for a quick profit.
Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen First Goalscorer
Moussa Diaby is one of the hottest strikers on the Leverkusen squad this season with a host of European clubs interested in signing the Frenchman. Diaby scored 12 goals this season and we predict he will be the first goalscorer on Thursday night.
