The first C2 Cup final of the European Cup this season will be an exciting showdown between Leverkusen and Atalanta. Ahead of this match, the supercomputer has made clear predictions about the percentage chances of winning for each team.
Tomorrow morning (May 23), the most anticipated match, the UEFA C2 Cup final between Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta, will take place. Ahead of this centerpiece match, the Opta supercomputer has conducted 10,000 simulations to provide the most accurate predictions about the probability of winning for both teams.
Looking at the image below, you can see that the winning probability for Bayer Leverkusen is as high as 50.2%, the draw probability is 25.4%, and the probability of Atalanta winning is 24.5%.
This result is not surprising as the Opta supercomputer highly rates the squad of Coach Alonso, especially since Bayer Leverkusen has just clinched the Bundesliga title with an unbeaten record.

Leverkusen remains undefeated in 51 matches across all competitions this season (42 wins, 9 draws), including 12 matches in the Europa League (9 wins, 3 draws). Six of their 31 goals in the Europa League this season were scored in the 90th minute or later, marking the most impressive feat by a team in a major European campaign.
As for Atalanta, they also boast a notable striker named Gianluca Scamacca. Scamacca has scored impressive goals against Liverpool and Marseille in the last two rounds. The Italian star has netted 6 goals in the Europa League this season. Giuseppe Rossi in the 2010-11 season (10 goals for Villarreal) and Ciro Immobile in the 2017-18 season (8 goals for Lazio) are the Italians with better records.

Looking at Opta's strength ranking, Leverkusen is placed eight spots above its opponent. However, in the past, in the two occasions when Atalanta and Leverkusen faced each other in Europe, the Italian team won both matches. Bayer has faced Inter more frequently in major UEFA competitions and lost every match, indicating the dominance that Italian representatives have shown over German clubs.

Gian Piero Gasperini's squad is on the verge of becoming the first Italian team to win the Europa League, with previous champions hailing from Spain, Portugal, England, or Germany. However, Bayer Leverkusen will certainly not allow their opponents to achieve that easily due to their unbeaten streak.
The exciting match between Bayer Leverkusen will take place at 2:00 AM on May 23rd, according to Vietnam time. We will provide live coverage of all the most exciting developments for our viewers.
