The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Hellas Verona lock horns with Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta side in an important encounter at the Gewiss Stadium on Saturday.
Atalanta vs Hellas Verona Preview
Hellas Verona are currently in 18th place in the Serie A standings and have struggled to impose themselves this season. The away side slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Torino last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. La Dea suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Salernitana in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Atalanta vs Hellas Verona Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Atalanta have a good recent record against Hellas Verona and have won 11 out of the last 23 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Hellas Verona's nine victories.
- Since Gian Piero Gasperini joined the club in the 2016-17 season, Atalanta have won six of their nine matches against Hellas Verona in the Serie A.
- Hellas Verona have won their last two matches away from home against Atalanta in the Serie A - as many victories as they had managed in the 20 such games preceding this run.
- Atalanta have failed to find the back of the net in their last two matches in the Serie A - they last endured a run of three such consecutive games in 2014.

Atalanta vs Hellas Verona Prediction
Atalanta have not been at their best over the past year and are in desperate need of an immediate resurgence. La Dea have been wasteful in the final third this month and will need to be at their clinical best this weekend.
Hellas Verona can pack a punch on their day but have been a shadow of their former selves this season. Atalanta are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
