Verona vs Atalanta prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-05 19:45.
[p]Bottom-of-the-table Hellas Verona are still searching for their first Serie A win of the season when they host a resurgent Atalanta side who’ve enjoyed plenty of success in this fixture recently.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Despite taking the lead away at Genoa last weekend, Verona were beaten 2-1 to stretch their winless start to this league season to a whopping 13 games (D6, L7). Manager Paolo Zanetti therefore finds himself under plenty of pressure for his position with the Mastiffs starting the round five points adrift of safety, although encouragement can be taken from avoiding relegation when sitting a point worse off at the same stage in 2022/23. Greater returns must be found on home turf to replicate that great escape, as Verona have lost three of their last five Serie A games on their own turf (D2).[/p]
[p]New Atalanta boss Raffaele Palladino appears to be getting a tune out of his squad, as after falling to defeat to Napoli in his first game in charge, La Dea won their next two games by a 5-0 aggregate scoreline. The 2-0 win over Fiorentina ended a torrid run of eight Serie A games without a victory (D5, L3) which leaves them with plenty of ground to make up in the race for the European places. Much of their deficit can be attributed to poor results on the road, as Atalanta have won just one of their six away matches in the league so far this season (D3, L2).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Atalanta are unbeaten in the last six H2Hs (W5, D1), doing the double over Verona by a combined 11-1 scoreline last term. Verona have lost their last five home games against Atalanta while scoring just once![/p]
