Background

After an impressive season, Bayer Leverkusen finds themselves on the brink of history. Having gone unbeaten in 51 matches this season, they have a chance to secure their second trophy by winning the UEFA Europa League final against in-form Atalanta.

Leverkusen’s Journey

• Leverkusen has been far from invincible on their route to the final. A dramatic last-16 tie against Qarabağ nearly saw their elimination, and late goals were needed against Roma in the semi-final.

• Florian Wirtz has recovered from a thigh problem, and Odilon Kossounou is fit after overcoming an issue. Victor Boniface, their Bundesliga top scorer, may start on the bench, with Amine Adli as the preferred false nine.

Atalanta’s Resilience

• Atalanta has had a superb season, experiencing elation similar to Leverkusen’s. They narrowly missed out on the Copa Italia title, losing 0-1 to Juventus.

• Their coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, has been pondering how to become the first side to beat Leverkusen this season.

SportAi365 Expectations 

• Leverkusen enters as favorites, but Atalanta’s stunning form and resilience make this final unpredictable.

• Both teams will fight for their place in history, and fans can expect an intense battle in Dublin.
