Atalanta take on the visitors Verona in the round 33 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, April 18th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo).
Atalanta’s last hope to save the season melted away on Thursday. Everything seemed to be in the hands of the Italians: a week earlier they had drawn the meeting with RB Leipzig, and any victory in Bergamo would have been enough, but the match ended with home defeat 0-2.. In the last 14 rounds in the domestic arena, Atalanta managed to take only 3 wins. And both of the last, April matches in Calcio ended in defeats, not only to Napoli (1-3), but also to the modest Sassuolo (1-2). As a result, the “Goddess”, which in recent years has accustomed to a permanent stay in the quartet of leaders, now have completely fallen out of the European cup zone. After the 31st match the hosts have 51 points, and they are in 8th position. Obviously, now the new target will be an attempt to beat Lazio and Fiorentina in the fight for 6-7 final place.

Verona had an extremely unsuccessful start of the season. However, a timely coaching reshuffle fixed everything. And it is curious that the new specialist from Croatia, Igor Tudor, returned the Hellenes to their usual level. With him, they again managed to rise to the middle of the table, after which, it seems, they decided that they could complete the tasks for the current season. At the beginning of April, the modest Genoa were defeated, but motivated Inter in the last round was able to take 3 points against Verona. Moreover, the "black and blue" in Milan scored both goals by the end of the first half hour. That's all, the players think not so much about what is happening on the field, but about the upcoming holidays?
Atalanta have won 5 of their last 7 head-to-head matches against Verona, including both recent matchups played on the road. Atalanta still can't count on Ilicic, Mele, Cabezas and Toloi. Davidovic and Pandur will definitely not play for Verona, Miguel Veloso, Berardi and Barak are in doubt. Bookmakers consider Atalanta to be the favorite of the pair.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win.
