Atalanta vs Verona prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-10-25 18:45.
[p]Despite Atalanta being unable to find a way past Celtic in a goalless draw in their UEFA Champions League tie on Wednesday, it extended their recent unbeaten run (W3, D2) in all competitions. That streak includes back-to-back wins in Serie A, which keeps them just outside the top-five ahead of this round. With the top-half looking congested, anything less than a win against Hellas Verona could see La Dea lose steam in their early season push for a Champions League qualification berth.[/p]
[p]Now unbeaten across the last four league H2Hs (W3, D1), Atalanta should be preparing for this game with confidence. And although fans witnessed no goals in their latest match at the Gewiss Stadium, we could be in for a thrilling ride here as Atalanta’s last three home league games (W2, L1) aggregated 16 goals![/p]
[p]Verona may also play their part considering their eight league games this season have averaged 3.38 goals. The visitors start this round close to the bottom-three though, as four defeats across their last five matches (W1) has evaporated the positivity of two wins from the first three games (L1) of their league campaign. If that trend of only winning or losing continues, this could be Verona’s first instance of starting a top-flight campaign with no draws across their first nine games![/p]
[p]Travelling to this venue hasn’t been such a daunting experience in recent times for the Yellow and Blues, who have lost only once across their last four visits here (W2, D1, L1). Their two wins in that time is as many as in all of their previous 20 top-flight away H2Hs put together, but hopes of extending that run could be dampened by their recent run of consecutive losses on the road, with both games seeing them trail at half-time.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui has netted the second goal of the match in four of his last five league scoring games. Meanwhile, Darko Lazović could be looking forward to this trip, having scored Verona’s opening goal in two of the last three league H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Seven of Atalanta’s last nine home league games have seen both teams score. [/p]
