According to analysts, Bayer is the favorite in the match with Atalanta
May 22 in Dublin in the Europa League final Atalanta will play Bayer Leverkusen. According to bookmaker experts, Bayer are favorites in the match against Atalanta.
Bayer’s winning probability estimated at 1×1.84. Atalanta’s chance of winning is 1×4.6. The probability that the match Atalanta – Bayer will end in a draw is 1×3.75.
First European Cup final of the season. In Dublin, Atalanta and Bayer will determine the new winner of the Europa League trophy. This is the first European Cup final in history for the Italian club. Bayer has won the UEFA Cup once so far, and that was 36 years ago. Pharmacists last played in the European Cup final for 22 years, losing to Real Madrid in the decisive Champions League match.
Bayer are heading for the treble. Pharmacists won the Bundesliga long ago and celebrated the championship. Now Xabi Alonso’s team has two finals: May 22 – Europa League with Atalanta, May 25 – German Cup with Kaiserslautern. And also another incredible task – to go through the entire season without defeat, setting an achievement that can only be repeated, but not surpassed.
Atalanta is also enjoying a strong season. The Bergamasques qualified early for the Champions League, and in the current Europa League they lost only once, losing in the return match to Liverpool, which they knocked out of the tournament in the quarterfinals. Another thing is that Atalanta lost one final this season, losing to Juventus in the decisive match of the Italian Cup a week ago.
Atalanta and Bayer met only once in European competition. And also in the Europa League. In the 1/8 finals of the 2021/2022 season, the Italians knocked the Germans out of the tournament, winning each of the two matches: 3:2 at home and 1:0 away.
As mentioned above, Bayer is the favorite. However, it will definitely not be easy for the Germans, and their mistakes in defense (Karabakh scored two goals against the Pharmacists, for example) in a game with a disciplined Atalanta could be costly. And the chance that in the match “both teams will score” bookmakers estimate it as 1×1.73. Probability “the total in the match is more than 2.5” – 1×1.89. At the same time, the chance for “Beyer win by one goal” is 1×3.8. A “Bayer win and match total is more than 2.5” – 1×2.79. Well, where would we be without Bayer’s goals: “the probability of the last goal in the match from the 76th minute” is estimated as 1×2.02.
