Prediction
With a 3-0 mixture lead, Atalanta can afford to calm down barely however given their sturdy residence kind – with one clean at residence this season plus Liverpool’s high quality, I can’t see them taking this sport calmly in any respect however they may must be as medical as they had been at Anfield.
Liverpool in the meantime know that turning the tie round is a mammoth ask however some gamers have the reminiscences of being on this scenario earlier than – if assume again to that semi-final comeback in opposition to Barcelona from 3-0 down on mixture in 2018-19 Champions League.
That specific reminiscence due to this fact must be the inspiration for one more outstanding comeback however they didn’t go and lose their league match between these legs, having faltered to Palace in a wasteful efficiency on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp’s Reds additionally gained right here by a 5-0 consequence just a few years in the past and a repeat could be sufficient to see them advance, however I simply can’t see that taking place as a result of Atalanta are a a lot stronger workforce now so I anticipate a troublesome take a look at however the scoring the primary aim early is significant for Liverpool.
Try this then something might occur however I actually don’t see Atalanta dropping on mixture a minimum of.
Prediction: Atalanta 1-2 Liverpool
