Correct. As the favorite team to win the Europa League this season, Liverpool is indeed superior to Atalanta because in terms of player quality, Liverpool is much better than Atalanta. However, Liverpool still have to be careful and not underestimate Atalanta, who is considered unable to make things difficult for Liverpool.
The reason is that if you look at history, Atalanta once beat Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield in the UCL League event even though afterwards they lost heavily 0-5 at home. This indirectly proves that Atalanta could potentially cause a surprise in the current match, especially in its attack line which could be said to be a surprise for the opponent's defense.
IMO, it's not just about Atalanta beating Liverpool, but more about the match after match that Liverpool will play. Whether in the Premier League, or in this competition. before these two teams meet in the quarter-final match later. Liverpool will play three matches in domestic competition. The match against Brighton could be an obstacle for Liverpool. or, the match against Manchester United at Old Trafford ahead of the match against Atalanta later. what is certain is that the Domestic League competition is Jurgen Kloop's main priority over the Europa League. the reason is, if Jurgen Kloop's team squad slips. well, both Manchester City and Arsenal will widen the points gap from Liverpool. thus, it becomes a loss for Liverpool in its competition for the Domestic League trophy. so, Jurgen Kloop's main focus must be to secure the match they will play before hosting Atalanta in the Euopa League quarter-finals.
However, if we refer to betting market options for a while, Liverpool is far superior to Atalanta. which means, Liverpool has a very high probability of overthrowing this team from Serie A. moreover, this match will be held at Anfield.
By the way, this quarter-final match still has a time gap. so let's wait, while watching Liverpool and Atalanta play their matches in their domestic competition.
