Atalanta vs Verona Prediction & Betting Tips (15 April)

6th in Serie A with 1 game less and 8 points behind 4th, Atalanta is on unfavorable waivers to take part in the next Champions League. The team based in Bergamo is better placed to qualify for C3 or C4. Not really to their advantage these days, Gian Piero Gasperini's men have only gleaned one success in the last 6 days, for 2 draws and 3 defeats. After brilliantly winning in Naples 0-3, they disappointed last weekend by losing to Cagliari 2-1. In the Italian Cup, the Dea lost their semi-final first leg played at Fiorentina 1-0, but in the Europa League, they achieved the feat of winning at Anfield on Thursday against Liverpool 0-3 in the quarter-final first leg.

Threatened by the descent this season, Hellas Verona is today in 17th place in Serie A with 1 point ahead of the first relegation. The teammates of former Nantes player Fabien Centonze recently showed an upturn by stringing together 2 victories in a row, Sassuolo and Lecce. Unfortunately, they fell back into their bad habits during the last 3 days. Hellas Verona took a point at Cagliari 1-1 but also lost, at home each time, against AC Milan 1-3 and Genoa last weekend 1-2.

Atalanta still cannot count on senior defender Scalvini, who has not sufficiently recovered from his injury. Added to this are the suspensions of potential starters Zappacosta (side) and De Roon (midfield) who both received a new yellow card in Cagliari. Dutch attacking midfielder Koopmeiners (11 goals and 3 assists in SA) plays a leading role for the Dea this season. He should be positioned in support of attackers Lookman (8 goals and 4 assists in SA) and Scamacca (8 goals and 3 assists in SA). On the side of Hellas Verona, replacement striker Cruz (0 goals in 4 SA matches) must still withdraw this Monday evening.

Furthermore, midfielder Serdar is suspended. On the other hand, starting defender Magnani is back after his suspension. Decisive in his last 3 league matches with 2 goals and 1 assist, striker Bonazzoli should start again.
