Atalanta to stay in contention for a title race

Atalanta come into this match after registering their first win over Juventus in Turin since 1989. Certainly, that win will boost La Dea’s hopes to challenge for the scudetto as they await Milan’s and Napoli’s results. Notably, with 28 points Atalanta are currently fourth with no danger of being overtaken at least in this round and three points away from third-placed Inter.

Markedly, Atalanta are now undefeated in seven matches and won their last three. Surely, boss Gasperini has made an excellent job with the Nerazzurri, and the only thing missing the 63-year-old is a trophy. Despite having their first clean sheet in Serie A in ten matches against Juventus, La Dea managed to gather 17 points out of a possible 21 in their last seven games.

Venezia aiming for the least possible casualties

After a three-match undefeated run, Venezia faced a tough Inter side and suffered their third home defeat of the season. Moreover, The Winged Lions have now lost to all three top teams to nil. Hence, as they travel to Bergamo, boss Paolo Zanetti needs to adopt a very defensive tactic against the third-best attacking team in Serie A. 

To point out, Zanettis’ defense had two clean sheets in their last two road trips. As a result, Venezia seem to have solved some of the problems they had at the back early in the season. However, the fact that Venezia couldn’t score a single goal against the top three teams this season might be a cause of concern for Zanetti. 

Atalanta vs Venezia Prediction

Obviously, Atalanta are the favorites to win this match with the bookies paying 1.25 for a home win. And certainly with La Dea’s current form in Serie A, no one can bet against that. Nonetheless, with the low value of the bet, we will look at other markets.

Looking at the total goals market, Vbet is offering just 1.51 for over 2.5 goals in the match. Surely with prolific scorers like Zapata, Pasalic, and others, Gasperini has a very strong attacking lineup. In effect, we expect a very attacking-minded tactic by Gasperini to keep the pressure on the top three.

To conclude, in matches that Atalanta attack, their defense becomes vulnerable. That was the case in the most recent matches where La Dea played teams like Spezia and Cagliari. Hence we think we will see over 2.5 goals in this match.
