Preview: Hellas Verona vs. Atalanta BC - prediction, team news, lineups
Mar 10, 2025
Aiming to reverse their recent downturn and keep in touch with the Serie A title race, Atalanta BC visit Hellas Verona on Saturday.
The Bergamo side head for Stadio Bentegodi on the back of a midweek cup exit - continuing their worst streak of the season - while Verona are still knee-deep in danger.
Match preview
After a remarkable run of 11 league wins, Atalanta have won only one of their last six matches in the Italian top flight, perhaps terminally damaging any hopes of claiming a first-ever Scudetto.
Last week's 1-1 stalemate at home to mid-table Torino left them third in the standings, seven points adrift of league leaders Napoli, with reigning champions Inter Milan sandwiched between.
Another route to silverware was shut down on Tuesday night, as La Dea lost 1-0 to Bologna in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, marking a rare occasion that Gian Piero Gasperini's team have failed to find the net on home turf.
An end to their cup campaign - following January's Supercoppa semi-final loss - only leaves the Champions League and Serie A left to play for, and the odds are stacked against last year's Europa League victors winning either.
Nonetheless, given their long-held status as provincial outsiders, Atalanta continue to overachieve, having lost just one of their last 18 league matches.
