After five years in which they secured the Champions League or Europe League, Atalanta finished the last season 8th and failed to qualify for Europe. Right now, they are in 7th place with only one point fewer than AS Roma. Still, Atalanta could even secure Europe from the seventh spot if Inter wins against Fiorentina in the Cup finals. But they should try to reach that sixth or fifth place, which are one and three points away.
For some reason, Atlanta are playing better on the road this season. For example, they won 1.72 points per game on the road to 1.59 at home.
Hellas Verona were a mid-table team in the previous three seasons (since arriving from Serie B). This season they are on the brink of relegation. Currently, they are 18th with the same number of points as 17th-placed Spezia, which are in the safe zone.
Verona's inability to score is the primary reason for this season's poor result. With 28 goals scored, they hold the second-worst offensive record - only Sampdoria scored fewer (21).
Atalanta vs Hellas Verona pick: Under 2.5 goals
Atalanta are in bad form, with two losses in a row against Juventus and Salernitana. In those two games, they failed to score.
Verona scored just 28 goals in 35 rounds in Serie A. On the road, they are even worse, with only nine goals scored in 17 rounds - 0.53 per game. Because of poor offense, Hellas Verona has the fewest games in Serie A with three or more goals on the road (three of 17).
Hellas Verona were three times under 2.5 goals in the last four matches.
In the first h2h game this season, we have seen a 1:0 win for Atalanta.

Atalanta team news
After a 1:0 loss to Salernitana, coach Gian Piero Gasperini spoke to the media. He said they failed too well in many aspects of the game, and Salernitana won because they wanted it and believed more in a win. "Now, the only thing that counts is getting to Europe and closing in the best possible way," he also said.
The team will miss their top goalscorer Ademola Lookman due to a hamstring injury.
A starting central defender, Berat Djimsiti, suffered an injury in the last match and had to be substituted after 70 minutes. Merih Demiral will start at the back if Djimsiti misses the next game.
A few other players should miss the game, too, with injuries: Jeremie Boga, Matteo Ruggeri, Jose Luis Palomino, Hans Hateboer, and Lukas Vorlicky.

Hellas Verona team news
After a 1:0 to Torino, coach Marco Zaffaroni spoke to the media. He said there were difficult months, but they are making an important run-up. He also said he understands the disappointment of the fans but also said they will do everything possible to reach the goal and secure survival.
Two strikers, Thomas Henry, and Kevin Lasagna, will miss the game with injuries, so a backup striker Milan Đurić will have to start up front. So far, Đurić played 1146 minutes in Serie A this season and scored just one goal!
Due to muscular problems, left midfielder Josh Doig missed the previous game and will most likely miss the Atalanta game.
Attacking midfielder Ajdin Hrustić will remain sidelined with a long-term injury (ankle).
