The first final of the new Europa League competition and with top names like Juventus and Liverpool knocked out it’s left for Atletico Madrid and Fulham to settle the scored this night in Hamburg.

Although neither of these teams are high in stats in their domestic leagues, both Atletico and Fulham have proven that they take this competition very serious and are eager to grab the trophy.

Atletico Madrid is 9th in the Spanish Primera Division and with no chances of claiming and European tournament spot for next season this trophy can prove as a savior for what has been so far a mediocre year.

The team’s form is not a great one with only 2 victories in the last 5 matches played in all competitions but their morale is very good as they went past English giants Liverpool in the semi-finals at the end of 2 very close matches.

Fulham was no doubt the surprise of this season in Europa League if not all Europe’s club competitions. Noone would have thought at the start that this small English team will be able to go past big names such as last year’s Uefa Cup winners FC Shakhtar Donetsk, Hamburger SV and especially Juventus.

Only 12th in the Premier League, their coach is confident that it’s team will lift the trophy at the end of the match and celebrate an historic achievement on German soil. They have lost the last 2 matches played but it’s not hard to figure out that they are thinking only at this final.

My tip:  Atletico Madrid to win ( 3-1 scoreline)
