Liverpool will need to produce a sensational comeback to keep alive their hopes of winning the UEFA Europa League this season as they go to Atalanta on April 18

Atalanta vs Liverpool prediction
Liverpool face an uphill battle in Bergamo with the tie potentially already over for Klopp and his team. The Reds will give it everything to try and overturn the first leg result but the damage could already be done.
A clash with either Benfica or Marseille awaits in the semifinals, and Liverpool will have hope after scoring 11 goals over two legs against Sparta Prague in the previous round.
Prediction: Atalanta 0-2 Liverpool
