Venue: Red Bull Arena (42558 seats)

The first of two encounters in the Europa League Quarter-finals, as the hometeam RB Leipzig will try to edge Atalanta in their own ballpark.

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

Atalanta could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only four sleeps ago.

RB Leipzig form and stats

RB Leipzig was eliminated in the group stage last season in the Champions League.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Red Bull Arena as RB Leipzig have scored 35 goals to get 29 points from 14 games. The overall stats in the Bundesliga are 9-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Happy days for RB Leipzig in their previous game, a fixture away at Borussia Dortmund that ended with a 4-1 victory. Nkunku, who plays in attack, was the champion performer for the team in that game, earning a rating of 9.11 (out of 10). Nkunku scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt that ended 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how RB Leipzig have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost zero.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Leipzig as they have a new game in only three days, a Bundesliga match thankfully also at home. Hoffenheim are visiting.

The RB Leipzig manager Tedesco has got the team scoring with 35 from 14 home games in the league. 15 goals have been conceded.

Atalanta form and stats

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

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 10 wins, 3 draws and only 2 losses in the Serie A. Total Europa League statistics for Atalanta: 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses.

Atalanta might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Napoli proved too strong as Atalanta slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia. Midfielder de Roon was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.25. Roon scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 58 successful passes (of 63 total).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Bologna at their stadium, the result 1-0.

We have checked recent matches where Atalanta have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were two victories, two draws and one defeat.

The schedule is very tough for Atalanta now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Sassuolo is waiting in only three days.

Atalanta has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 27 goals from 15 games. Atalanta are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 13 times in 15 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

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.
