Europa League: Analysis of the Europa League clashes

Benfica vs Marseille: Getting their heads above water
To start, here's a highly anticipated clash of this European evening. After eliminating Toulouse in the playoffs, Benfica Lisbon aims to take down a second French club. And it's a Marseille in great difficulty that will travel to the Portuguese capital, since the Olympian club has just lost its last 4 matches, against Villarreal, Rennes, Paris, and LOSC. Four tough matches, where OM hasn't really managed to raise its level of play to compete. Knowing the atmosphere and pace imposed by the locals who will be waiting for Gasset's players this Thursday evening, all this does not bode well for hoping for a good result from Olympique de Marseille. Unsurprisingly, our prediction for Benfica - OM sees the southerners facing defeat...

AC Milan vs AS Roma: Which Italian club will make it to the semifinals?
Yes, it will indeed be a 100% Italian clash offered to you this Thursday evening. Of course, it will not be a Serie A match, but rather a Europa League clash! This superb opposition between two teams in great form in recent weeks should provide us with a magnificent, very balanced double confrontation. Two teams that know each other perfectly and are accustomed to facing each other every year. Although Roma has been in much better form since the arrival of one of its legends, Daniele De Rossi, as coach, our experts believe that at San Siro, AC Milan still has a significant advantage for this first leg. All the info on our prediction AC Milan - AS Roma!

Bayer Leverkusen vs West Ham: Advantage to the home team
Words are no longer sufficient to describe Bayer Leverkusen's season. Beyond being historic, this team continues to impress match after match with both quality and fighting spirit. Still undefeated this season in official matches, Xabi Alonso's men are aiming for a treble. While the championship seems wrapped up (16 points ahead of Bayern Munich, the runner-up), they still need to win the DFB Pokal final against a second-division team, but more importantly, fight to lift the Europa League trophy. The competition is fierce, and West Ham should not be taken lightly! The Hammers, last season's Conference League winners, remain formidable opponents in Europe and take this competition very seriously. However, Germany's leaders are well aware of this and, according to us, this should not prevent them from gaining an advantage before the return match in London. More info and statistics on our prediction page for Bayer Leverkusen - West Ham.

Bet on Bayer Leverkusen vs West Ham
Liverpool vs Atalanta: A spectacle on the way?
Liverpool is the clear favorite to lift the trophy in Dublin on May 22nd. All bookmakers and observers agree on this. However, the Reds are still far from the final, as they continue to compete for the title in the Premier League and won't be able to consistently field their starting XI. Jurgen Klopp's men will have to overcome an Atalanta team that is far from easy to play against, and then potentially Benfica or Marseille. And tonight, we're clearly expecting a very open match between two attacking teams. Indeed, recent matches for both Liverpool and Atalanta have had a very high average number of goals, and it would be surprising not to see the nets shake tonight. The Liverpool - Atalanta prediction from our experts reflects this view, so don't hesitate to consult it for more information.
