Atalanta have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 4 matches against Venezia in all competitions

Atalanta playing for the Serie A title and Venezia’s survival target will define the two sides’ league meeting this weekend. This match will be hosted by third placed Atalanta, with Venezia arriving second from bottom. Read below for our prediction of this match.

Atalanta’s season started with La Dea contesting on five fronts. They now have the Serie A only to fight for. Trailing the league leaders by three points, the hosts feel they have a say in the title race.

They thrashed Empoli 5-0 in their last game to snap a three-match winless run. In the league, they carry to this game a five-match unbeaten streak.

In that period, they won three matches and come here with three straight clean sheets in Serie A action.

Venezia will feel the pressure in this trip to Bergamo. They are coming from a 0-0 draw with Lazio at home and will hope to build on that in a tough away game.

Their ambitions, however, don’t match their recent performances. That draw with Lazio was Venezia’s ninth winless outing on the bounce. In that run, they suffered five defeats and failed to score in five matches.

The draw with Lazio marked their first clean sheet in the last 24 matches. With only three wins this season, it isn’t hard to see why Venezia are at their current position in the league.

Atalanta: Marco Carnesecchi, Stefan Posch, Berat Djimsiti, Sead Kolasinac, Davide Zappacosta, Raoul Bellanova, Marten de Roon, Éderson, Ademola Lookman, Charles De Ketelaere, Mateo Retegui.

Venezia: Ionut Radu, Jay Idzes, Marin Sverko, Fali Candé, Gianluca Busio, Kike Pérez, Hans Nicolussi, Francesco Zampano, Alessio Zerbin, Gaetano Oristanio, Christian Gytkjær.
