Atalanta vs RB Leipzig: Match Stats
Atalanta have never lost a home match in the UEFA Cup/Europa League in 11 previous matches, with three of those coming against German opponents: a 1-0 win against FC Köln in 1990, a 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund in 2018 and 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen last month. They’ve progressed from six of their last seven major European knockout ties when avoiding defeat in the first leg; the other tie was in the 1990/91 UEFA Cup quarter-final against Inter (0-0 first leg, 0-2 second leg). Atalanta haven’t reached the last four of a major European competition since 1987/88 in the Cup Winners’ Cup, when they were a Serie B side.
Luis Muriel has been directly involved in eight goals in seven starts in the Europa League across spells with Sevilla and Atalanta (five goals and three assists). Among players to play at least 500 minutes in the competition, only Claudio Pizarro (one every 58 minutes) has provided a goal or assist more frequently than Muriel (one every 63 mins).
RB Leipzig’s four away matches in Europe this season have seen 23 goals scored (13 for and 10 against), winning the last two (5-0 against Club Brugge in the Champions League, 3-1 against Real Sociedad in the Europa League). They’ve never won three consecutive away matches in major European competition. Leipzig are subsequently looking to reach the last four of a major European competition for only the second time, also doing so in the 2019/20 Champions League when they lost to PSG. Leipzig have progressed from three of their previous four Europa League ties, although their sole failure to qualify was at this stage in 2017/18 against Marseille, losing 5-3 on aggregate.
