Venezia - Atalanta betting tips and odds

It would take a small miracle for the hosts to get to a stalemate this match, let alone win somehow. A quick look at the 7.10 price for a home win should be enough to tell you that, though.

Atalanta are expected to have no hiccups going past Venezia in this match and betting odds offered by the world’s top bookmakers are there to confirm it.

The hosts can count themselves fortunate to have avoided a bigger defeat in their last Serie A outing. They were seen as the 8.75 underdogs to claim what would have been a rather shocking away win and a narrow Fiorentina beating they took will not leave too deep a dent in their confidence.

Atalanta fans are hoping for a better performance than what they saw in the previous round of Serie A. Even though most betting predictions assumed they would come out on top against Hellas Verona, they suffered a narrow 1:2 home defeat.

With a defensive record like the one Venezia boasts, their fans may have a reason to worry. They conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone – the advantage of playing at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo seems lost on them.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Venezia need 0 points to get out of the relegation zone. However, with 34 matches already behind us, doing so will prove to be extremely difficult. Even more so knowing the hosts are priced at 7.10 odds to claim a win this Saturday.

Atalanta may be playing outside their home turf, but they’re still the clear favourites to win this game. They soundly defeated Venezia several times in a row this season, even managing to grab a decisive goal advantage with each victory.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1.70, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
