Liverpool have always been favorites to win this year’s Europa League.
That put an end to Atalanta – who have now received a clearly easier draw and seem to have been given the red carpet towards a final place.
Unexpectedly high odds on the player market (assist) and also think we can nail a warning there.
@45,00!

Marseille has had a messy and turbulent season, often looking listless and poor in Ligue 1…
But somehow overachieved/got it together out in Europe.
There are lots of injuries and blemishes that bother. Can definitely do without suspended Samuel Gigot. Midfielder colleague Chancel Mbemba is doubtful for the game.
They have notoriously conceded cheap goals (12) from fixed situations in the league game and it doesn’t get any better when you now lack strong pieces.
Also has a lousy away record, so you probably know that you have to get a good result tonight – to take with you to Bergamo.

Yes, as I said…
Liverpool have been mega favorites to win this year’s edition of the Europa League – but that didn’t stop them Atalanta from going to Merseyside and winning 3-0 (!) at Anfield. Admittedly a bit of a maximum dividend, but it also shows that you don’t hesitate to chase several goals, even if you were to go up 1-0.
That, along with Marseille’s inability to set-pieces, makes me stick with assist play on Teun Koopemeiners. Takes a lot of corners/free kicks and is also one of the Atalanta players noted for the most key passes in open play.
@9.00 just feels too generous.
Not everyone can only engage in attacking play for Atalanta, someone has to stand for balance and “toughness” as well.
Ederson must clean up in the midfield and in front of the own back line.
Hasn’t been quite as cool in his style of play as in Serie A, but now that the semi-finals are looming, I expect that the brass chewed a little more barbed wire.
