Liverpool have a mountain to climb if they wish to make it to the semi-final of the Europa League, but there will still be belief that the team can turn the tie around - especially from the fans who have made the journey to Italy.

To make it even more difficult, Liverpool will be backed by a significantly reduced away following than they normally would have.



Around 750 away supporters are expected at the Stadio di Bergamo on Thursday night.

The reduced allocation is due to the stadium currently undergoing work to increase its capacity.

It usually holds around 21,000, but in a redevelopment to increase that number to 25,000, capacity has temporarily been reduced to around 16,000, which has severely impacted the number of away tickets on offer.

Supporters who will be housed in the stand will hope that it’s a night that they will be talking about for years to come.

The winners of the tie on Thursday night will face either Benfica or Marseille in the semi-final of the competition.
