The UEL football betting odds are already available ahead of the Europa League final, and Bayer Leverkusen is the favorite to take this home at 1.80 (4/5). Atalanta knocked out Liverpool as underdogs in the quarterfinals, and they are valued at 4.33 (10/3) for a victory in normal time. There isn’t much between both teams based on quality, and a draw is set at 3.75 (11/4) odds.
Bayer Leverkusen has not lost a game this season and they are a popular bet on Europa League final. Both teams met a few years ago in the last-16 of the UEFA Europa League and the Italians progressed, winning both knockout games. A lot has changed for both sides since the last meeting and this is evident in the Atalanta vs Leverkusen odds.
For all his good work at Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini hasn’t been able to secure silverware for La Dea, and following a Coppa Italia defeat against Juventus, this game is extra important for the veteran manager. Atalanta’s best performance in the Europa League this season was a 3-0 thrashing of Liverpool at Anfield, and they have lost just one game in this competition. A 3-0 win was enough for Atalanta to dispatch Marseille in the last round after a first-leg draw in France. With the prospect of playing in the Champions League next season and a potential trophy, Atalanta will need to be at their best against a red-hot Bayer 04 team.
Emil Holm and Sead Kolasinac are the only absentees for Atalanta ahead of this showdown, but the latter should be fit before the final. Gianluca Scamacca and Charles De Ketelaere have struck up a sensational partnership and they are La Dea’s best shot at winning in the Atalanta vs Bayer 04 betting predictions.
Xavi Alonso is overachieving with this squad this season, and they are arguably the best team in Europe. Having wrapped up the Bundesliga title with few games to spare, the Germans can get closer to their treble dream with a Europa League win. Bayer Leverkusen came back from two goals down to secure a draw against Roma in their last knockout game, and they did this with less than 10 minutes on the clock. Resilience has been a key factor for the Germans this season, and with an excellent record, they are clear favorites in the Atalanta vs Leverkusen betting tips.
Florian Wirtz came off the bench in the game against Roma with just nine minutes of game time as a caution, but he should be fit before the game against Atalanta. Odilon Kossounou suffered an ankle injury and is expected to miss the final. Victor Boniface is expected to start on Wednesday and is a good scorer option to look at in the Atalanta vs Leverkusen betting picks.

Bayer Leverkusen is simply on another level this season, and they have been exceptional en route to the final. Xabi Alonso has led his team on a 40-game unbeaten streak, winning the Bundesliga and reaching the finals of the DFB Pokal. Bayer Leverkusen’s defense hasn’t been so great in the last few weeks, and they have kept just two clean sheets from their last seven games. Atalanta has a lot of quality up front and can get a goal here, but there is not much they can do to win this game. A bet on the Germans to win and both teams to score is a good option on the Atalanta vs Leverkusen predictions.
