Atalanta vs RB Leipzig Predictions

• Just one of Atalanta’s last seven opponents stopped them from scoring.
• Leipzig are on a six-game winning streak of away games.
• Two thirds of Atalanta’s home league games produced over 2.5 goals.
• Leipzig scored at least twice in their last four European away games.

Entire seasons are won and lost in this game

With Atalanta’s challenge for European places in Serie A faltering, winning the Europa League is looking more likely to be their last chance at securing Champions League football for next season.

The Italians take home advantage into this game after notching a 1-1 draw in the reverse, though defeats either side of that draw certainly raise questions around their credentials.

Even with their current woes, Atalanta are capable of scoring past the Germans in this clash. The hosts at least scored in 77% of their league games this season and have found the net in all of their European clashes, suggesting they will hold up their end of the bargain.

History in the making for Leipzig

Currently with no major honours to their name, RB Leipzig are on course for a historic double of trophies this season with a DFB-Pokal semi-final also waiting in the wings.

Coming into this on the back of an amazing 4-1 win over Dortmund in their last away game, Leipzig will be brimming with confidence, especially seeing as they have scored twice in their last four European trips, including against the likes of PSG!

We predict that this will be an exciting second-leg encounter that could see goals at both ends with over 2.5 goals. However, we are siding with the Germans to come up trumps with a dominating 3-1 victory.
