Atalanta vs Liverpool Predictions

• No side has overturned a three-goal deficit after losing the first leg at home in the history of this competition
• Atalanta are unbeaten in four Europa League home games this term, winning three of those matches
• Both teams to score has been a winning bet in all four of Liverpool’s Europa League away games this term

Goals galore at the Gewiss Stadium

Last week was one to forget for Liverpool as they saw both their Europa League and Premier League title hopes dashed via consecutive home losses to Atalanta and Crystal Palace respectively.

Jurgen Klopp’s farewell tour is at risk of petering out disappointingly and he must get an immediate reaction out of his side if he wishes to end his excellent tenure at Anfield on a high.

They head to Bergamo on Thursday looking to overturn a 3-0 deficit against Atalanta, and their need to score could lead to an extremely exciting affair at the Gewiss Stadium.

Reds to go gung-ho

All four of Liverpool’s Europa League away games this term – as well as five of their last seven road matches in all competitions – have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals land as a winning bet.

With the Reds desperate for goals and Atalanta boasting plenty of attacking talent themselves, it could pay to back the same bet on Thursday with the Reds likely to emply a gung-ho approach as they look to overturn a three-goal deficit, meaning they could net a few while being left exposed at the back as a result.

Liverpool likely to fall short

While Liverpool should have enough to score a few in Atalanta, with Klopp’s men netting 16 goals in their last six away games, and even land the win in Bergamo, qualification may be beyond them.

No side has overturned a three-goal deficit after losing the first leg at home in the history of this competition and given the hosts are yet to lose at the Gewiss Stadium in the Europa League this term, that long-standing statistic looks likely to remain in tact as Atalanta should keep things close enough to still qualify.
