Atalanta v Bayer Leverkusen Wednesday at 21.00 CET

Dublin and the Aviva Stadium for the 2024 Europa Liga final. Two sides who have had excellent seasons go head to head for the title.

Atalanta are 5th in Italy Serie A and only need 1 point from their final two league games to ensure UCL qualification (they have 1 game in hand over everyone also) Form in Europa Liga this season is 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. Recent all competition form is 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Leverkusen have had a season for the ages. Unbeaten in all competitions they have won German Bundesliga, are in this final and will also play in German cup final.  In Europa Liga they have not lost with 9 wins and 3 draws. Overall this season they are unbeaten in 53 games with 44 wins and 9 draws across three competitions.

Team news: Atalanta miss defenders Martin de Roon and Emil Holm. Doubts over Toloi and Kolisinac. Full squad available for Leverkusen.

Head-to-head statistics: 2 games – 2 wins Atalanta.

Betting selection – Few injuries for Atalanta and key players too.They were very flat in the Coppa Italia final against Juventus and the length of the season seemed to catch up with them. Leverkusen have been like a juggernaut crushing everyone in sight. I take Bayer Leverkusen win at 1.85 or 17-20 PaddyPower.
