Four points in the last two league games for Verona and Atalanta, who are about to face each other on Saturday afternoon at the Bentegodi, on the one hand relaunch the yellow and blues' hopes of salvation and on the other get the black and blues moving again after the KO against Napoli, rebuilding a certain margin with fifth place. For Atalanta, who have just been eliminated from the Coppa Italia, in the league, the objective now seems to be to finish in the top four places, even if a possible winning streak that sees Napoli stop could rekindle some faint hopes of the championship, while for Verona, the feeling is that the fight to stay in Serie A could continue given the large number of teams in a small margin. For Zanetti's team, however, the three points in Monza were worth double and will give a lot of morale for a match that, in the first leg, saw Atalanta provide one of its best performances of the season: a 6-1 that the Nerazzurri will try to replicate, to try again, a final assault on Napoli and Inter who are showing some signs of slowing down and that Verona will have to avenge sportingly but more for today's needs than for the memory of that match.

Verona's main shape and statistics

Verona has passed the fundamental test of the two direct clashes against Venezia and Monza well, earning 4 points. In the last 6, the yellow-blue balance is fair: 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Verona, who returns to play at the Bentegodi, has an unenviable statistic at home: the yellow-blues are the team in Serie A that has lost more games than anyone else at home (7) and, still speaking of negative records, Verona still has the most beaten defense in the championship: 48 goals conceded in 23 games.

What, for now, saves the Venetians is the number of successes, for now 7 in the championship: no one in the second half of the standings has obtained more.

Atalanta's main shape and statistics

The home draw against Torino, clearly not the result hoped for on the eve and above all the elimination from the Coppa Italia, confirm that in 2025 Atalanta is clearly slowing down compared to that seen in the first months of the year: for the Nerazzurri there are only 2 successes in 9 games played in the new year.

Looking only at the championship, however, Atalanta can certainly smile, especially for an attack that scores more than 2 goals per game (2.13) and for a third place with 47 points which means 8 points more than last year and an all-time record for Gasperini at this point in the championship.

Will he think more about the Champions League playoff with Bruges or will he put all his strength into the Verona match?

The excellent numbers of Atalanta away from home, which is on a positive streak of 9 games away from Gewiss, however, let us assume that the Goddess can at least find the spark to win the match and, the prediction of the BetMines algorithm sees the 2 sign as the most probable.
