Atalanta host Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the two-legged Round of 16 tie in the Europa League at the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia. The hosts beat Olympiacos in the knockout round play-offs with a comprehensive two-legged scoreline of 5-1 while the visitors finished top of Group G in the Europa League to make their way to the final sixteen. Atalanta come into the game with a 1-0 defeat on the road to Roma in Serie A. They have been sliding away for the quest for a top-four finish in Serie A and the Europa League serves as the perfect opportunity for some sort of glory for them. Atalanta, however, have struggled defensively. They have had over 2.5 goals in five out of their last eight matches and also have had over 2.5 goals in four out of their last five home matches.

Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1 on road against Bayern Munich in an impressive Bundesliga trip to the German champions. Bayer Leverkusen also have had over 2.5 goals in ten out of their last eleven matches and also have had over 2.5 goals in five out of their last six away matches. The two teams have been scoring a lot of goals and also have not been resilient enough at the back.
