Atalanta welcome Venezia to the New Balance Arena on Monday evening for a Serie A fixture that looks badly mismatched on paper. The hosts sit 11th after an inconsistent start to the campaign, while bottom-of-the-table Venezia are still chasing their first point of the season. Kickoff is at 17:30 WAT.
Our Atalanta vs Venezia prediction, betting tips and team news guide breaks down the recent form, head-to-head record and best value bets ahead of Monday’s clash.
Atalanta vs Venezia Match Preview
Atalanta made a bright start to the season with back-to-back wins over Sassuolo (2-1) and Bologna (1-0), but three consecutive defeats have stalled their momentum. Losses to Roma (1-2), Cagliari (1-2) and Juventus (0-2) have left La Dea in 11th place with a record of two wins from five, and Monday’s home fixture now looks like a must-win if they are to climb back toward the European places.
The hosts will take encouragement from their strong head-to-head record in this fixture, having won four and drawn one of the last five meetings. With Charles De Ketelaere pulling the strings in attack and Nikola Krstovic leading the line, Atalanta have the firepower to punish a fragile Venezia defence, which is a key factor in our Atalanta vs Venezia prediction.
Venezia, meanwhile, have endured a miserable start: five defeats from five, including losses to Lecce (0-2), Milan (0-2), Frosinone (2-3), Fiorentina (2-4) and Lazio (0-2). The Lagunari are winless in 18 of their last 19 league games and have lost six straight away matches, conceding 13 goals across their five outings this term. Another long evening looks in store for the visitors.
Given the gulf in quality and form between the two sides, our Atalanta vs Venezia prediction is a comfortable home win, with the hosts expected to keep a clean sheet against the division’s weakest attack.
