Verona enters this fixture on the back of a 1-0 away victory against AC Monza. This win provided a much-needed boost after a series of mixed results. In their last four matches, Verona has recorded one win, two losses, and one draw, which indicates their inconsistent form.
Injury concerns plague the squad, notably the absence of midfielder Suat Serdar. He has been diagnosed with a grade two rectus femoris strain in his left thigh, which is expected to sideline him for multiple games. Ondrej Duda will also miss this match due to a suspension.
Abdou Harroui is already unable to help his team this season due to a cruciate ligament injury.
Additionally, forward Casper Tengstedt is dealing with an ankle injury, and defender Marco Davide Faraoni is nursing a muscle injury, both of whom are doubtful for the upcoming match.
Verona typically employs a 3-4-2-1 formation, focusing on wing play to stretch the opposition’s defense. The wing-backs, Terracciano and Lazović, are pivotal in providing width and delivering crosses into the box.
The absence of Serdar in midfield may disrupt their central stability, placing additional defensive responsibilities on Tameze and Duda. Amin Sarr, leading the attack, will aim to exploit spaces behind Atalanta’s defensive line with his pace.
Verona predicted lineup vs Atalanta (4-2-3-1): Montipo; Dawidowicz, Coppola, Ghilardi, Tchatchoua; Duda, Tameze; Bradaric, Suslov, Sarr; Kastanos.
In their 1-1 draw against Torino, Atalanta’s 3-4-1-2 formation facilitated dominant possession and numerous goal attempts. Berat Djimsiti’s header from a corner gave them the lead, but defensive lapses allowed Guillermo Maripán to equalize shortly after.
A pivotal moment occurred when Mateo Retegui’s penalty was saved by Vanja Milinković-Savić, marking his third penalty save of the season.
Despite Gianluca Scamacca’s return from injury in the 85th minute, Atalanta couldn’t break through Torino’s compact defense, resulting in a draw that hindered their title aspirations.
In their Coppa Italia quarterfinal against Bologna, Atalanta emphasized wing play and high pressing, creating early chances, notably through Charles De Ketelaere. However, Bologna’s disciplined defensive structure effectively absorbed the pressure.
In the 80th minute Bologna’s Santiago Castro capitalized on a well-delivered free-kick by Charalampos Lykogiannis, heading home the decisive goal. Atalanta’s inability to convert opportunities and a lapse in set-piece defense ultimately led to their defeat with the score of 0-1.
Atalanta is dealing with significant injury issues ahead of upcoming matches.
Forward Gianluca Scamacca will miss an extended period due to a severe quadriceps injury requiring surgery after only playing 5 minutes against Torino. Just like defender Giorgio Scalvini, Scamacca has to undergo surgery and both will be out for the rest of the season.
Sead Kolašinac is sidelined with a grade one biceps strain, and goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi is doubtful with a low-grade adductor injury. Forward Ademola Lookman will be out until mid-February 2025 with knee problems and defender Odilon Kossounou is recovering from a hamstring injury, expected to return by mid-April 2025. These absences pose challenges for coach Gian Piero Gasperini in squad selection.
Atalanta predicted lineup vs Verona (4-3-3): Patricio; Kolasinac, Hien, Djimsiti, Bellanova; Ederson, De Roon, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere, Samardzic; Retegui.
Bet hereUpon further analysis, it’s evident that Atalanta’s recent form has been inconsistent. They have secured only one victory in their last six Serie A matches, which includes a 1-1 draw against Torino in the previous round. This inconsistency has seen them fall six points behind league leaders Napoli.
So, considering the recent struggles of Atalanta and Verona’s capacity for upsets, the upcoming match may be more competitive than previously anticipated.
While Atalanta’s offensive capabilities remain formidable, their defensive vulnerabilities could be exploited by a determined Verona side.
We can expect that both teams will have good chances to score, and it is quite possible that both teams will score.
Atalanta need to win this match after all their previous failures.
Nevertheless, despite the absence of many injured players, including one of the main attacking leaders, Ademola Lookman, Atalanta have great potential in attack. It can be expected that the problems with execution will finally end, and Atalanta will be able to score the right number of goals to win this game.
Yet, as a safety net, we could choose the option that Atalanta will not lose this match.
