Gasperini vs Xabi Alonso: A match within the match
Before diving into the match and providing the main information about tomorrow's encounter, we wanted to focus on the coaches, who are expected to offer a true duel in this final. Indeed, we have two player-coaches here, both fans of spectacle and offensive play, possession, and dominating the opponent. It's simple: Atalanta Bergamo is the third-best attack in Serie A this season (behind Inter and Milan) with 67 goals scored in 36 matches.
On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen has also been impressive with 89 goals in the Bundesliga (2nd behind Bayern with 94 goals) in 34 matches. With an average of 2.94 goals per game for the Italians in the league and 3.32 for the Germans, it is clear that these two teams promise a show. To top it all off, note that the "Over 2.5" bet has hit in almost 64% of Bergamo's matches in Serie A, and 74% for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga! The "Over 3.5" bet has hit in 28% and 38% of their league matches respectively.
In the Europa League, we see similar statistics: 22 goals scored for Atalanta, 31 for the German champions! An average of 2.5 goals per match for Gasperini's men, and 3.42 for Xabi Alonso's men! Another telling statistic, the "Over 3.5" bet has hit in half of Leverkusen's matches in this competition! Clearly, we have two of the most spectacular teams this season, whether in the league or the Europa League! However, keep in mind that a final is a special match where neither team will want to lose. The tactics deployed by both coaches will be crucial from the first minutes, but we expect a particularly interesting match.

Atalanta Bergamo vs Bayer Leverkusen: Everything You Need to Know About the Final
Let the match begin! Atalanta Bergamo vs. Leverkusen. The club that knocked out Liverpool, the heavy favorite, and then Marseille, will face the still unbeaten team this season, which has just been crowned German champions and dreams of a historic treble with this Europa League final and the German Cup final on Saturday night. A final showdown that we probably wouldn't have expected at the beginning of the season, but both teams have clearly earned their place at this level of the competition. While Atalanta Bergamo recently faced disappointment by losing to Juventus in the Coppa Italia final last Wednesday (1-0), it's quite the opposite for Florian Wirtz and his teammates, who are experiencing a dream season. They have just been crowned Bundesliga champions for the first time in their history, without losing a single match—a first in the history of the championship.
In Dublin, this Wednesday night, we will witness a superb clash between these two teams in the Europa League final, where the sole objective will be to be crowned European champions. It is quite clear that Xabi Alonso's men are the favorites, as they have reached new heights this season and would intimidate any team. For the record, they have not yet lost a single official match. The bookmakers and pundits are unanimous: Leverkusen will be the winner tomorrow.
