UEFA Europa League | Atalanta VS Liverpool; Friday, 19 April at 03:00 GMT +8

Atalanta, a top Italian team, secured Europe in four out of the last five seasons. This year, they were strong and appeared to secure the Champions League. However, they slowed down domestically, losing the first leg in the Cup Semi-Finals and dropping significantly in the league’s table. Despite this, they excelled in the Europa League, and the team hopes to continue their success.

Liverpool, despite their strong performance, are currently in a minor crisis due to recent defeats in the FA Cup Quarterfinals, the Europa League Semi-Finals, and the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace. Despite their potential for three titles, they are currently third in the Premier League, two points behind the top spot. The Reds are fully capable of overcoming the EL challenge.

Atalanta manager Gian Gasperini faces only one fitness concern with a fully healthy squad, with Giorgio Scalvini missing due to a hamstring muscle injury. La Dea may use a 3-4-2-1 system, including Juan Musso, Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, Marten De Roon, and Mario Pasalic.

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp faces limited availability for his team, with Thiago, Williams, Bradley, Doak, and Matip unavailable. The Reds are expected to play in a 4-3-3 formation, with Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Endo, Salah, Núñez, and Díaz starting.

Predicted lineups:

Atalanta

Goalkeeper: Juan Musso
Defenders: Isak Hien, Marten de Roon, Berat Djimsiti
Midfielders: Teun Koopmeiners, Mario Pasalic, Ederson, Matteo Ruggeri, Davide Zappacosta
Forwards: Charles De Ketelaere, Gianluca Scamacca
