*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The visitors are the clear favourites to win the second leg according to the Atalanta vs Liverpool odds with an implied probability of 61.9% of that outcome, but the Italians are clearly huge favourites to win the tie overall with a three goal lead.
Liverpool suffered a further major setback at the weekend, losing 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace, a result that did great damage to their Premier League title hopes. Atalanta meanwhile surrendered a two goal lead to only draw 2-2 at home to Verona in Serie A on Monday.

Last three H2Hs: Home advantage counts for little
UEFA Europa League 11/04/24 Liverpool Atalanta UEFA Champions League 25/11/20 Liverpool Atalanta UEFA Champions League 03/11/20 Atalanta Liverpool
Our Atalanta vs Liverpool prediction suggests for the fourth meeting running, the home team will not win. The Reds can perhaps take some encouragement from a 5-0 Champions League win away to Atalanta in 2020, a margin of victory that would see them complete a stunning comeback were it to be repeated this week.
Atalanta Preview: Defenders missing for hosts
This game may come too soon for injured duo Giorgio Scalvini and Sead Kolasinac but otherwise Atalanta should be at full strength.
Predicted Lineup: Musso (GK), De Roon, Hien, Djimsiti, Zappacosta, Ederson, Pasalic, Ruggeri, Koopmeiners, Lookman, Scamacca

Liverpool Preview: Klopp expected to freshen things up
Liverpool will not view this tie as dead with Jurgen Klopp expected to still go strong, but he’ll want some fresh legs to come in after back-to-back defeats. Conor Bradley and Joel Matip are out injured.
Predicted Lineup: Alisson (GK), Robertson, Van Dijk, Quansah, Alexander-Arnold, Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Jota, Gakpo

Player to watch – Gianluca Scamacca
Gianluca Scamacca endured a very difficult time in the Premier League with West Ham but he delivered on Merseyside last week and in some style with a brace taking him to five goals in the competition this season.
Scamacca happy again back home
Scamacca has scored seven in his last seven in all competitions. He averages a goal every 113 minutes across Serie A and the Europa League this term. That’s compared to a strike every 310 minutes in the 2022/23 Premier League.
