Match Overview
Anfield will play host to a fascinating game between Liverpool and Atalanta in the quarterfinal of the UEFA Europa League on April 11, Thursday. Liverpool know that they have quite a few top-quality players in their ranks and will want to target their opponents early on. Atalanta will have to play out of their skins to compete with Liverpool in this game.
Key Highlights
There have been a total of just two games recorded between these two teams in the past. While Liverpool have won one game, Atalanta have been victorious in the other. When these two teams last met at the same venue in a Champions League game back in November 2020, Atalanta beat Liverpool by a decent 2-0 scoreline. They also kept a clean sheet.
Injury Report
Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara continue to be ruled out for Liverpool whereas for Atalanta, Giorgio Scalvini will not be available for selection.
Prediction
Liverpool may think of themselves to be the downright favourites to win this game over Atalanta, and should be able to do so quite comfortably. The Reds have been unbeaten in the last 21 games that they have played at home although they have not kept a clean sheet in the last seven matches. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
