UEFA Europa League Semifinals Leg-2 Matchups

Marseille vs Atalanta

Why Marseille is a Good Bet Versus Atalanta

Although the first leg ended in a draw, Marseille provided the slightly better performance. While Atalanta took just 8 shot son goal, Marseille took 14. Also, Marseille held possession 49.3%, which means they held their own in time of possession versus a solid Italian Serie A squad.

One mistake Marseille may have made was that after Chancel Mbemba scored the goal in the twentieth minute to even the match, Atalanta became more conservative. Marseille failed to capitalize by putting pressure on Atalanta. A couple of tweaks in this match and Marseille will have a chance to pull off the upset win.

Why Atalanta is a Good Bet Versus Marseille

Atalanta is on fire. In their past 5 matches, the only blip is the draw versus Marseille.

The fact the home team in this went after Salernitana says they’re taking pride in playing at an elevated level.

Atalanta vs Marseille Final Betting Analysis

Marseille blew their chance of getting an edge on the aggregate. The Ligue 1 team scored the equalizer but then could do nothing after the twentieth minute. That’s not a good sign for Marseille heading into the second leg versus a scorching Atalanta squad.

The Serie A team is excellent on their pitch. Not only that, but they’ve gotten used to winning. Expect Atalanta to free up Gianluca Scamacca for at least 1 goal. That will be enough to secure the game and aggregate victories.

AS Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen

Why AS Roma is a Good Bet Versus Bayer Leverkusen

Down 2-0, Roma doesn’t have much chance of rallying and beating Leverkusen on the aggregate. But Roma could score a massive moneyline victory because Bayer Leverkusen for sure won’t play an aggressive match.

AS Roma is also in decent form. In their last 3 matches versus 3 of their top rivals, Roma shows 2 draws, against Juve and Napoli, and a win over AC Milan. Roma may catch Leverkusen napping in this.

Why Bayer Leverkusen is a Good Bet Versus AS Roma

Bayer Leverkusen isn’t just beating opponents. They’re dominating their opponents. Leverkusen has had a remarkable Bundesliga squad season highlighted by the fact they won the German League title with 5 matches to spare.

How well has Leverkusen played? As far as their Europa League form is concerned, forget it. Bayer rolled through AS Roma in the first leg and the match was in Rome.

Bayer Leverkusen vs AS Roma Final Betting Analysis

For Bayer Leverkusen, it’s all about efficiency. In the first match, Leverkusen took just 8 shots. 2 were on the goal. The 2 on goal scored.

Roma took 19 shots and couldn’t land a single one on goal. Leverkusen’s efficiency will be in full force in front of their fans on Thursday. The German Bundesliga squad won’t change strategies because they have a 2-goal lead.

Leverkusen is consistent in their play from match to match. So we should expect another 2 goals, possibly 3 goals, victory.
