Atalanta vs Hellas Verona

Atalanta and Hellas Verona are set to trade tackles at the Gewiss Stadium in a high-stakes Serie A clash.

Back to Serie A action after an extraordinary 3-0 Europa League win against Liverpool, Atalanta will look to exorcise demons from the past weekend as they lost 2-1 at relegation-fighting Cagliari, diminishing their chances of bridging a five-point gap on fifth-placed Roma. However, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have fared outstandingly at the Gewiss Stadium in 2024, winning all but one of their seven competitive home games (L1). With each victory seeing them score multiple goals, it’s only natural to expect them to beat Verona for the fourth time in their last six home league H2Hs (W3, L2). Interestingly, four of those five encounters featured over 2.5 goals, highlighting the potential for a high-scoring event.

In the meantime, Hellas Verona’s desperate bid to avoid relegation has taken multiple blows, with Marco Baroni’s side going from back-to-back league wins to three consecutive matches without a victory (D1, L2). Now level on points with 17th-placed Frosinone, the visitors must end a three-game losing H2H run to increase their chances of survival. But away performances have been Verona’s Achilles heel this season, with only two wins from 16 Serie A travels (D4, L10)! Goals have been at a premium for ‘I Gialloblu’ on the road, as they’ve averaged a meager 0.68 goals per away game thus far.
