Chievo take on the visitors Atalanta at "Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi" in the matchday four of the Italian Serie A. The game will be played in Verona on Sunday, September 17th.
Chievo was unlucky with the calendar at the start of the season as the team was defeated 2:1 by Udinese on the road in the first round, then gained another 1:2 defeat this time from Lazio and finally having been thrashed 0:3 by Juventus at away field in the recent gameweek. Frankly speaking, "Mussi Volanti" gained maxim possible points of all the points which they could earn after three matchdays behind. On the eve of the forthcoming encounter it should be mentioned that Chievo show mediocre results in front of their fans as in 2017 they earned three victories alongside with two draws and seven defeats in 12 home matches.

All the above mentioned about Chievo's tough schedule can also be applied to Atalanta as Gian Piero Gasperini's side were beaten 0:1 by AS Roma and 1:3 by Napoli in the first two rounds. Nevertheless, after the break for the battles of the national A-teams, "La Dea" has got two triumphs at the home ground within the last week: 2:1 victory over Sassuolo in the Serie A and 3:0 over Everton in the UEFA Europa League.
Atalanta won their three recent head-to-heads against Chievo: 1:0, 4:1 and 1:0. Potentially the visiting side is stronger than its opponent which was proved in the recent clashes of "La Dea". So far it is unclear how the visitors will adjust to the match schedule playing every third day, but I believe it will manage to pick up at least one point in the fight in Verona as they play better and better from game to game.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
