It is the first European Final for La Dea who have already qualified for next season’s Champions League through Serie A.

However, if they win the cup and finish outside the top four in the league standings, Italy will get an extra spot for next season’s Champions League.

Only Marten de Roon is injured for La Dea, while José Luis Palomino is not on their UEFA list.

Emil Holm and Sead Kolasinac return to action and the ex-Arsenal defender is expected to start in defence.

There are still a few doubts regarding the Atalanta line-up as it’s still unclear whether Gian Piero Gasperini will start Giorgio Scalvini in defence or midfield or even leave him on the bench initially.

There are multiple options in attack as well with Ademola Lookman fighting for a starting spot.

Gasperini started Charles De Ketelaere, Lookman and Scamacca in the second-leg semi-final against Marseille and according to Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport, he’ll do the same again tonight.

As for Gazzetta, Lookman will start on the bench, while Scalvini will join Berat Djimsiti and Kolasinac in defence.

Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen – probable line-up

Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Musso; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, Scalvini, Ederson, Ruggeri; Koopmeiners, De Ketelaere, Scamacca

Bayer Leverkusen (3-4-3): Kovar; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Stanisic, Andrich, Xhaka, Grimaldo; Frimpong, Wirtz, Adli.
