Atalanta take on the visitors Verona in the round 32 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, April 15th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo).
The Bergamo team approaches the match against Verona in excellent form and high morale. Midweek, Atalanta crushed Liverpool (3-0) at Anfield, already stepping one foot into the Champions League semifinals. I believe Gasperini's men, fueled by confidence, will comfortably win the national championship match against a team fighting for survival. Because while European competitions are important, Atalanta still have goals and motivation in Serie A - the team is competing for the right to play in Europe next season. By the way, not long ago, in Serie A, the Goddess also triumphed away against Napoli (3-0).

Verona, on the other hand, sits just one point above the relegation playoff zone and only two points above the direct relegation zone in the Serie A table. The Mastiffs try to at least secure a draw in each match, but so far, they've only partially succeeded. In the last round, for instance, the yellow-blues managed to lose at home to an unmotivated Genoa side (1-2). There have been defeats for Verona in the league since the New Year by more than one goal difference. For example, against Milan (1-3) or Bologna (0-2).
Usually, Marco Baroni's motivated opponents from the top half of the table outplay Verona, and Atalanta happens to be one of them. Considering the three-goal advantage gained at Anfield in the Europa League, it will be difficult for Gasperini's side to lose it in the return leg even if they wanted to, so I don't expect any experiments with the lineup in the league match. I believe Miranchuk and company will play at full strength and secure a convincing victory over Verona both in terms of gameplay and scoreline. It's worth noting that Verona's last visit to Bergamo ended in a 1-3 defeat. I bet that the visitors won't even secure a draw this time. The handicap (-1) of the favorite seems like a safe bet. And in the worst case, I expect a refund on the bet.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win with -1.0 handicap.
