Liverpool's hopes for a triumphant season hang in the balance as they gear up for a pivotal Europa League match against Atalanta. The dream of Jurgen Klopp concluding his tenure with a quartet of trophies has been tarnished by a string of lackluster displays. The likelihood of Klopp's departure being marked by only the Carabao Cup as silverware is becoming more apparent.

The Reds are the favourites with CopyBet ahead of this tie at 4/6 but are 11/2 on a three-goal handicap which is what they need to equalise on aggregate while Atalanta are 15/4 and a draw is 7/2.

The last week has been particularly challenging for the Reds, marred by a draw with arch-nemesis Manchester United, which led to lost vital points in the Premier League race. This disappointment was further aggravated by a crushing defeat at Anfield to Atalanta in the Europa League quarter-finals' first leg and another loss to Crystal Palace. These results have inadvertently bolstered Manchester City's prospects of securing the Premier League crown.

Facing the formidable challenge of overturning a 3-0 deficit against Atalanta in the second leg—an accomplishment yet to be seen in the history of European competitions—Liverpool finds itself at a critical juncture.

On the other side, Atalanta's latest outing resulted in a 2-2 stalemate with Verona, placing them sixth in Serie A. As Liverpool approaches this decisive phase, the pressure intensifies, highlighting the enormity of the task at hand.
