Prediction: 1-2
Bayer Leverkusen
All eyes will be on Aviva Stadium when Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen face each other in the Europa League final. Bayer Leverkusen clinched the Bundesliga trophy in style, but they do not want to stop now as their goal is to win the treble. As Xabi Alonso has a full squad to choose from, away win should be considered. Both Granit Xhaka and Florian Wirtz return to the starting XI after the duo was rested in a 2-1 win over Augsburg.
The Orobici, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Bayer Leverkusen by beating Olympique Marseille in the semis. The BayArena outfit, though, are enjoying a season to remember and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Thursday evening. Both Martin De Roon and Sead Kolasinac are sidelined with injuries for the nominal hosts, while Emil Holm is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Granit Xhaka):
Granit Xhaka is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders at the moment and he is on the radar of quite a few high-profile sides. Just two seasons at FC Basel proved enough to attract interest from Borussia M’gladbach, who secured his signature in the summer of 2012.
The Switzerland international had a slow start to his career in Germany, causing many pundits to start doubting his credentials, but he eventually turn things around to show he is more than capable of playing at the highest level. Acting as a deep-lying playmaker, Xhaka impressed fans and pundits alike with his performances in Bundesliga and European competitions, and he even managed to score a couple of important goals in the process.
Despite his fragile age, the highly regarded footballer has been a key member of the Switzerland national team for quite some time now, scoring 6 goals in his first 40 caps to establish himself as a real leader of the Rossocrociati. The 2014 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four starts, should prove just the first of many major tournaments to come.
Highlighted Team (Atalanta):
Atalanta Bergamasco Calcio, better known as Atalanta Bergamo is an Italian football club from Bergamo which was founded in 1907 and is currently active in the Serie A.
The club host it’s home games in the Atleti Azzuri d’Italia stadium which holds a capacity of 27 000 sats. The club colors of Atalanta Bergamo are blue and black. Atalanta Bergamo holds the nickname Nerazzuri which is the same as Inter Milan.
Biggest succes of Atalanta Bergamo was in 1963 where the club managed to win the national cup (Coppa Italia). Atalanta won the Serie B three times (in 1959, 1984, 2006 and 2011). In Europe the club from Bergamo managed to stunt and reached the semi finals of the Europe Cup 2.
