Liverpool vs Atalanta prediction and betting tips on April 11, 2024
In the first quarter-final match of the UEFA Europa League, Liverpool will face Atalanta. The encounter will take place at Anfield on Thursday, April 11. The game is scheduled to start at 21:00 Central European Time.
Liverpool
The "Reds" are fiercely competing in the Premier League for the title and have some squad issues. After Sunday's match against Manchester United, the team lost the top position to Arsenal and is not in the best spirits. Winning in the second most important European competition for Klopp's men is certainly within reach, but it's unclear in what lineup Liverpool will play on Thursday. Let's see if the German coach will rotate the squad.
Atalanta
Atalanta is going through a rejuvenation of the squad and doesn't look as impressive as in previous years. Gasperini's men continue to fight for the Coppa Italia, and in Serie A, they currently occupy sixth place. Last weekend, Atalanta unexpectedly lost away to Cagliari, which may indicate the team's poor form. Undoubtedly, the coach will prepare his team for this match, but against Liverpool's main lineup, the Italians don't have many chances.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- Liverpool has conceded in seven consecutive matches without fail.
- Atalanta has lost their last two matches.
- The teams met in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League in 2020. Back then, they exchanged away victories.
Liverpool vs Atalanta Prediction
For some reason, it seems that Klopp will prioritize the Premier League and sacrifice the Europa League. Therefore, I can assume that in this match, both teams will score goals.
