The Serie A is back in action with another round of high-octane fixtures this weekend as Atalanta take on Hellas Verona at the Marcantonio Gentegodi Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have been impressive this season and will want to win this game.

Hellas Verona are in ninth place in the Serie A standings at the moment and have endured a slight slump in recent weeks. The Gialloblu suffered a 3-2 defeat against Sassuolo last weekend and will want to bounce back in this fixture.

Atalanta, on the other hand, have staged a recovery after a poor start to their Serie A campaign and are now in fourth place in the league table. La Dea eased past Spezia last weekend and will be confident ahead of this match.
