Gian Piero Gasperini’s side hold a slender 3-2 lead heading into the second leg of this Europa League last-16 tie.

It was a pulsating opening leg in Bergamo last week; Charles Aranguiz putting Leverkusen in front, before Ruslan Malinovskiy’s equaliser and a Luis Muriel brace turned the contest on its head.

Moussa Diaby replied later on for the visitors to leave things finely poised with a place in the last eight up for grabs.

It is familiar territory for Atalanta, who are seeking a second European quarter-final in three seasons having reached that stage of the Champions League in 2020.

And they boast an impressive record in the Europa League; losing just once from 11 previous matches.

The visitors hold the momentum, while Leverkusen are eager to put a difficult recent spell of form behind them.

Following Sunday’s 1-0 defeat by FC Koln, Gerardo Seoane’s men have now lost three of their last five games in all competitions.
