Atalanta had a very difficult road to the final, sensationally beating Liverpool at Anfield 3-0, and Marseille put up a decent resistance in the semi-final, so the Italian club is rightly in the UEFA Europa League final. Also the team has all chances to be in the Champions League and through Serie A, where the team goes on the 5th place.
Bayer is having a phenomenal season - the team won the Bundesliga without suffering a single defeat in the championship. And the ‘lions’ go undefeated in all tournaments - after the Europa League final, Bayer will have the German Cup final, where their opponents are Kaiserslautern, who play in Bundesliga 2.
Bayer looks the favourite in the final, as the team is stronger now than ever, the ‘lions’ have not lost to anyone yet. We expect the German club to take the Europa League, but still make a bet with the insurance of victory in a possible overtime or penalty shootout, as Atalanta should not be underestimated.
Prediction: Bayer to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 2” bet, odds 1.42
