Atalanta and Leipzig meet in this second leg tie in the Europa League quarter final at the Gewiss Stadium. Atalanta will certainly be the happier of the two teams after their 1-1 draw in the first leg tie. The Italians lost their last match 2-1 to Sassuolo in the Italian Serie A which now leaves them without a win in their last three matches. Atalanta have always been known for their free scoring ways but in their last six matches they have only scored 5 goals. Their home record is good with just one defeat in their last six matches. Atalanta have never lost a home match in European competition in the previous 11 matches with three of these matches being against German opposition. They have progressed from six of their last seven European knockout ties where they have avoided defeat in the first leg. The last time they reached a semi-final in Europe was back in the 1987/88 season.

Leipzig had an excellent 3-0 over Hoffenheim in their last match in the Bundesliga. They are now unbeaten in their last 14 matches across all competitions. Leipzig will be disappointed that they did not get the win in their home leg but they have been in good recent form. The German team has been involved in high scoring away matches in the Europa League with 23 goals being scored in their last four matches on the road. They won both their last two away matches in Europa but have never won three consecutive away matches in any European competition. Leipzig are looking to advance to only their second ever European semi-final after their reached the Champions League semi- final in the 2019/20 season.
