Atalanta vs Leipzig: Relatively new to the European scene, RB Leipzig and Atalanta will try to close in on their first European trophy on Thursday night.
Moreover, these two teams were relegated to theEuropa League after a disappointing campaign in the group stage of Champions League.
Now, after a thrilling and tight 1-1 draw in Germany in the first leg, Bergamo will host Leipzig to determine who will advance to the semi-finals of this European competition.

Atalanta lost against Sassuolo, 9th, which keeps them in eighth place in the Serie A.
Atalanta: news and form
After the defeat against Sassuolo last weekend (2-1), Atalanta have obtained only two victories in their last ten games in Serie A.
Due to this poor form, Gasperini’s men, stuck in eighth place, are now dangerously close to missing European competition for the first time since 2018.
This Europa League therefore takes on a more important role, because the trophy would come with a nice qualification for the Champions League.
Atalanta’s secret weapon is Luis Muriel. The Colombian striker terrorized the Leipzig defense in the first half and came close to doubling the Italian side’s lead early in the second.
His start to the season hasn’t been great, but he’s really come through recently. In his four Europa League games, he has scored three times.
If Muriel is fit on Thursday, there’s no doubt that Atalanta will find the back of the net one way or another.
RB Leipzig: news and form
If Muriel is the player to follow on the side of Atalanta, Christopher Nkunku, linked to a return to PSG, is this player for Leipzig.
The young Frenchman has become a key player for the German team this season.
ATA vs LEI
Its form, especially in Europe, is remarkable. In eight games, the Parisian has scored eight goals and provided an assist.
In the first leg, he failed to materialize his advances, but was the cause of a missed penalty by André Silva.
This season, a continuation of their recent past, Leipzig’s 3-4-1-2 has allowed Domenico Tedesco’s men to make the most of their attacking traits.
Angeliño, Nkunku and Laimer took advantage of this and the defense also gained in solidity and stability.
In 2022, this system allowed the German team to lose only one match – away against Bayern Munich (3-2). L
he team is in full confidence, and although the first inning was rather disappointing.
Theycould potentially have been worse, we believe the Bulls will get back on track.
Atalanta haven’t been solid at home this season, and we expect the German to qualify for the Europa League semi-finals.
