Atalanta Preview – Can Atalanta hold on?
Atalanta got the upper hand in the 1st leg of this round of 16 Europa League tie against Bayer Leverkusen in a high-scoring 3-2 victory but they now face a tough encounter in the return leg as their German counterparts have been tough to beat on home soil.
For their part, Atalanta have posted a mixed bag of results across the board in all competitions in recent times as the Italian visitors have registered just four wins out of their last 12 matches overall, with only one of these wins being recorded on the road (a 3-0 win against Olympiakos in the previous round of the Europa League), but having won just two of their last six away games in all competitions, Atalanta may face a tough 90 minutes on Thursday night.
