Atalanta and Hellas Verona to Play Out a Tense Draw as Poor Form Continues for Either Side
3944

Atalanta will look to kick on from their torrid display in the Europa League recently as the Bergamo outfit lost to RB Leipzig in midweek just as Hellas Verona lost once more when they met with the champions, Inter Milan.

The Bergamo outfit have had a really tough season across the board this year, and it was capped off by them being kicked out of the Europa League at the hands of Leipzig.

The German outfit travelled to Italy with the scoreline at 1-1, but a brace from one of Europe’s most in-form stars, Christopher Nkunku, Leipzig advanced as the boos rang around the Gewiss Stadium.

It does spell the end to much of Atalanta’s season at the same time, as now sit eighth in the table and stunning 11 points adrift of the Champions League spots in Serie A.

There is still just a four-point gap on the sixth-placed Lazio, but with them in such great form, just as Roma boast six points over them in fifth too, it is set to be Atalanta’s worst season since returning to Serie A a few years back.

In fact, the exit from the Europa League has now put manager Gian Piero Gasperini into the spotlight for the first time in a bad shade. The Italian has been a revelation for the club in the past decade, and he is largely responsible for their trajectory in this time.

However, with them in eighth and now out of Europe, he cannot afford to lose again.

Back in Italy, his side have even managed to lose their last two games as they were thrashed by Napoli on home soil just two weeks ago, before a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sassuolo last weekend.

It now leaves the club on just 53 goals in the league this season, and considering they have managed to be the top scorers in the league for so many seasons, this is incredibly worrying.

As for Hellas Verona, stunningly, they have even scored more goals than Atalanta in Serie A this campaign, with the club now scoring 56 As for Hellas Verona, stunningly, they have even scored more goals than Atalanta in Serie A this campaign, with the club now scoring 56 times.

They have, however, let in 49 goals too, and with a further 11 defeats in the league, Atalanta will see this as a solid chance to return to winning ways.

Forebet predicts a draw though, and the game to see under 2.5 goals.
