Hellas Verona - Atalanta predictions

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Atalanta.

Though we can’t say for certain, all signs are pointing towards Atalanta as the final winner of this showdown. Hellas Verona have been known to surprise us from time to time, though, so the match isn’t a done deal.

Verona will not be too disappointed with their latest away defeat (Genoa). It was a game they were expected to lose on a big margin anyway. But they still kept it alive for the first 45 minutes and gave their rivals a run for their money, with one goal deciding the entire match.

The visiting team are coming on the back of a decisive victory in their recent home game, which earned them 3 points and a solid 2:0 goal difference. Such an outcome was hardly surprising, though – most bookmakers online saw them as the clearly stronger team in that particular matchup.

Verona fans at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi have seen a lot of concessions lately – 6 in the previous three matches. Hopefully, we’ll see some better play from their defenders.

Given 6 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Atalanta's defensive line is much to be desired.

The home team are currently one of the worst-placed teams on the Serie A standings, though it’s too early in the season to panic. That said, they’re not likely to gain new points in this match, so their short-term prospects aren’t looking great.

With multiple decisive victories over Hellas Verona on record, it’s easy to see why most bookies online consider Atalanta the favourites in this matchup. Although these wins are largely from the previous season, they were all secured with a hefty goal lead.

No suspensions or injuries means both teams will have their full lineups available for a highly anticipated matchup.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.98, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
