Europa League final Ultimate Bet Builder
Florian Wirtz to Assist
Rationale: Bayer Leverkusen are on the cusp of an extraordinary achievement: completing an entire season without a defeat. Having already secured the Bundesliga title, they are now aiming for an unbeaten treble, a feat never accomplished by a German side. The team’s remarkable form continued with back-to-back wins to close out the season. Facing them in the Europa League final is Atalanta, a team that has also finished their season strongly with seven victories in their last nine outings, though they did suffer a loss in the Coppa Italia final.
Leverkusen’s success can be largely attributed to the stellar performances of Florian Wirtz. The young German midfielder has been instrumental under manager Xabi Alonso, contributing significantly to their attacking play. Wirtz has scored 18 goals and provided 19 assists in 47 appearances this season, showcasing his incredible playmaking abilities. His goal involvement per 90 minutes stands at 1.01, and his expected goal involvement (xGI) is 0.76, underscoring his consistent impact on matches.
With Leverkusen’s attacking style and Wirtz’s form, it’s highly likely he will be involved in creating scoring opportunities against Atalanta. His vision and passing accuracy make him a prime candidate to set up a goal, and betting on Wirtz to provide an assist is a strategic choice for this Bet Builder.
Rafael Toloi to Be Carded
Rationale: Atalanta’s captain, Rafael Toloi, has had a challenging season with injuries, but he is expected to start in the Europa League final. Playing on the right side of a back three, Toloi has slowly regained his fitness, playing the full 90 minutes in their recent victory over Lecce, where he also received a yellow card. His disciplinary record has been a concern, with three bookings in his last five appearances and eight yellow cards in total this season, averaging 0.71 cards per 90 minutes.
Given Leverkusen’s dynamic attacking lineup and the high stakes of the final, Toloi is likely to face intense pressure. His aggressive style of defending and tendency to commit fouls, especially against tricky opponents like Leverkusen, increases the probability of him receiving a booking. The Italian defender’s recent form and disciplinary history suggest that he is a strong candidate for a card in this high-stakes match.
Gianluca Scamacca to Score Anytime
Rationale: Gianluca Scamacca has been in superb form for Atalanta, playing a crucial role in their successful run to the Europa League final. The Italian striker has scored ten goals and provided three assists in his last 15 games. His performance in European competitions has been particularly impressive, with six goals in his last seven matches.
Scamacca’s ability to score in crucial games has been vital for Atalanta, and his physical presence and finishing skills make him a constant threat to any defence. Leverkusen’s backline will have to be at their best to contain him, but given Scamacca’s recent scoring spree, he is well-placed to find the back of the net again. Betting on him to score at any time in the final is a well-founded prediction considering his current form and importance to Atalanta’s attack.
Hans Hateboer to Be Shown a Card
Rationale: Hans Hateboer has been a consistent performer for Atalanta in Serie A, although he has managed to avoid yellow cards in European fixtures this season. However, in domestic competitions, he has picked up five yellow cards in 22 matches. Hateboer’s defensive responsibilities will likely see him matched up against Leverkusen’s star midfielder, Florian Wirtz.
Wirtz’s ability to draw fouls with his dribbling and quick movements could pose a significant challenge for Hateboer. The Dutch defender has committed multiple fouls in three of his last ten league appearances, indicating his tendency to engage in physical play. In a high-pressure final, where tempers and stakes are high, Hateboer is a strong candidate to receive a booking. His track record and the likely defensive workload make this a sound bet for the Bet Builder.
Over 10.5 Total Shots on Target
Rationale: Both Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta are known for their attacking prowess, which promises an exciting and open game in the Europa League final. Leverkusen average 7.1 shots on target per game, while Atalanta are not far behind with an average of 5.5. This high number of shots reflects their aggressive playing styles and the quality of their forwards.
The final is expected to be a competitive affair with both teams pushing forward to create scoring opportunities. Given the attacking talent on display and the stakes involved, the match should see plenty of goalmouth action. Players like Florian Wirtz, Gianluca Scamacca, and others are likely to test the goalkeepers frequently. Thus, betting on over 10.5 total shots on target is a well-supported and logical prediction for this match.
