Liverpool vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting Tips (11 April)

Still injured, striker Diogo Jota should not be restored for this first leg. Ditto for the starting goalkeeper Alisson, the full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold or the long-term absentees Thiago Alcantara and Matip. Never appearing this season in the PL, Bajcetic will probably also be absent. A priori, Jürgen Klopp should be able to rely on his fairly formidable attackers like the Egyptian Salah (16 goals, 9 assists in the Premier League), the Colombian Luis Diaz (8 goals and 4 assists in the PL) and of the Uruguayan Nunez (10 goals, 7 goals in PL) and on his midfielders Mac Allister and Szoboszlai. In defense, the tricolor Konaté could be associated with the solid van Dijk.

On the Atalanta Bergamo side, everyone is on deck on time with the exception of one player, senior defender Scalvini, who is injured. Scorer in the home and away games against Sporting, the solid striker Scamacca (8 goals in Serie A and 3 in C3) could start in the same capacity as the Nigerian international Lookman (8 goals and 3 assists in SA). The excellent Koopmeiners (11 goals and 3 assists in SA) is also a candidate to start this evening at Anfield. With 4 goals to his credit this season in C3, Colombian Luis Muriel remains the most decisive player of this team in the competition despite his departure for MLS (Orlando City) this winter.

Prior to facing Napoli and Udinese in the Europa League, Liverpool had been on a run in which they had both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes in 13 consecutive games. Ahead of their matches, Atalanta were not far off that sort of pace either, as the net had bulged at both ends in 13 of their previous 16 games at this elite level.
