Atalanta
Atalanta is always a safe bet for free entertainment. The team currently ranks 6th in Serie A, with mixed results (4 victories, 3 defeats, and 1 draw).
Although Atalanta are known for a unique style of football, Gasperini’s team failed to break down Celtic’s block (0-0) in the Champions League. The team continuously attacked but was too imprecise to secure the three points.

Celtic struggled to influence the match, recording only seven shots in ninety minutes compared to Atalanta’s 23 attempts. It was hardly surprising, considering that Celtic looked to defend after a disastrous 7-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.
Atalanta’s main issue has been at the back, having conceded more than anyone in Italy’s top six. They have conceded thirteen goals in eight matches, including four in their 4-0 defeat to Inter. However, Atalanta has proven it can hold its own against stronger opposition, as seen in the 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
Scamacca is one of the team’s best forwards, but his injury has slowed down Gasperini’s attacking machine. Giorgio Scalvini, Sead Kolasinać and Marco Brescianini will be the other absentees of the night.
Hellas Verona
Every league has a team that stays in the mid-table and does not seem to fancy any change. Verona is that team for the Serie A, consistently ranking between the 9th and 14th place in recent years.
They currently sit in 13th place, with nine points from eight games. They have won three games, lost five and haven’t drawn yet.

Verona won only one match in the last five games, a 2-1 victory against last-placed Venezia. Verona started well, opening with a 3-0 victory against Napoli. However, after the 2-0 victory against Genoa, Verona lost three consecutive games, conceding eight goals during that period, demonstrating they need to work on their defensive approach.
The team’s schedule isn’t favourable either as they will face Atalanta, AS Roma, Fiorentina and Inter in the coming weeks.

Verona has struggled defensively in recent weeks, last keeping a clean sheet on September 1st against Genoa (2-0).
Atalanta, on the other hand, has no problem playing an open, attacking style to create more chances. If anything, they often press high and outscore their opponents by accelerating their tempo. They might not have Scamacca, but Atalanta is a team that will keep its style despite changing individuals.
Atalanta vs Hellas Verona Betting Tip
- Pick: Correct Score 3-0
- Odds: 10 (22Bet)
This week’s Champions League game against Celtic was frustrating for Atalanta, as they couldn’t secure the three points despite registering more than 20 shots. It shows that relentless attacking isn’t enough; they need to improve their accuracy in front of goal. Pašalić missing five big chances was exemplary for the form they are in.
This inability to convert chances is also what separates good and elite teams, and this is where the absence of Scamacca is felt the most, as Retegui has struggled to replace him.

Atalanta needs to pick up momentum again, which is why Verona is the perfect opponent, especially as the home factor has its importance. Atalanta has scored eighteen goals in 8 matches, and it’s likely they will add a few more this weekend in what is expected to be a comfortable victory for the hosts.
