It's time to decide the outcome of the Europa League Quarter-finals meeting between Atalanta and RB Leipzig. Get ready for the match with this full betting preview!

It's quite the trip for RB Leipzig when visiting Atalanta as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Atalanta form and stats

Atalanta was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Champions League.

4-6-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Atalanta so far this season. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Atalanta has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.

No payout for Atalanta in their previous match, an away game at Sassuolo that ended in defeat 1-2. The attacking player Zapata was named "man of the match" for Atalanta with the rating of 7.44/10. Zapata hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

This is expected to be a close game, with Atalanta perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Atalanta as a small favourite), we find five games. Atalanta has won two of these, drawn zero and lost three.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Atalanta, as the Serie A home game vs Hellas Verona is only four days away.

A decent goal production from Atalanta in their home games so far, with 25 goals from 15 league matches. On the other hand, Atalanta have conceded 21 goals.

RB Leipzig form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the group stage.

5-4-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for RB Leipzig in their Bundesliga matches away. Total Europa League statistics for RB Leipzig: 1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses.

RB Leipzig go into this game after a win, the home game against Hoffenheim that ended 3-0. It was a convincing performance from Leipzig when Hoffenheim were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. Nkunku, Szoboszlai and Halstenberg scored their goals. Szoboszlai, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.41. Szoboszlai scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with RB Leipzig playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one RB Leipzig win, zero draws and three defeats.

The schedule is very tough for RB Leipzig now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Bundesliga game at Bayer Leverkusen is waiting in only three days.

Leipzig has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 26 goals from 14 games. As opposed to that, RB Leipzig have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

RB Leipzig - Atalanta 1-1 was the story when these two participants formerly met, also in this season.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
