On the 10th of March, Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen will play a match in Bergamo in a Europa League match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 4 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Atalanta is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Roma. Tammy Abraham struck first for Roma in the 32nd minute on a feed from Nicolò Zaniolo, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Atalanta was frustrated by Roma’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Roma ended the match with the shutout victory. Atalanta looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, Bayer Leverkusen recorded a 1-1 draw against Bayern München. Niklas Süle struck first for Bayern München in the 18th minute, but Thomas Müller got the equalizer for Bayer Leverkusen on an own goal in the 36th minute earning Bayer Leverkusen at least a draw. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Bayer Leverkusen should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Bayer Leverkusen is fortunate enough to have Moussa Diaby in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals. Both Berat Djimsiti and Ruslan Malinovskyi have been the hottest scorers for Atalanta in the last five each having scored 2 goals.
