Atalanta Looks to Make Up for Missed Victory Against Verona
In the aftermath of their frustrating Champions League draw against Celtic, Atalanta is eager to channel their disappointment into a determined performance against Verona in Serie A. Despite creating 22 chances, the Nerazzurri were unable to find the back of the net, resulting in a missed opportunity to assert their dominance in the competition.
However, Atalanta’s momentum in the league must be sustained, and they are likely to be boosted by their recent victories against Genoa and Venezia. The team will be looking to build on this form and climb the league table as they face a Verona side that has been struggling, having lost five of their last seven games and conceding 10 goals in their last four.
Verona Coach, Zanetti, must find a way to swing the momentum back in his team’s favor, as they teeter on the brink of falling into the lower reaches of the table. A difficult task lies ahead, but Atalanta will be eager to capitalize on their opponents’ weakness and secure a much-needed win to maintain their position in the league standings.
The match between Atalanta and Verona is scheduled for Saturday at 8:45 pm, and can be watched on DAZN, Sky Sport Uno (201), Sky Sport Calcio (202), and Sky Sport (251). The game will also be streamed live on DAZN and Sky Go, with commentary provided by Orazio Accomando and Alessandro Budel for DAZN, and Dario Massara and Massimo Gobbi for Sky.
The likely Atalanta formation is expected to be a 3-4-3, with Carnesecchi in goal, Djimsiti, Hien, and Kolasinac forming a solid backline, and Zappacosta, Ederson, De Roon, and Ruggeri providing defensive cover. Up front, De Ketelaere, Retegui, and Lookman are likely to lead the attack.
Verona, meanwhile, is expected to line up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Montipò in goal, Tchatchoua, Ghilardi, Magnani, Bradaric forming a solid backline, and Suslov, Belahyane, Serdar, and Lazovic providing creative spark in midfield. Tengstedt and Mosquera will lead the attack.
The match promises to be an intriguing contest, with both teams having valid reasons to desire victory. Can Atalanta bounce back from their European disappointment and show their superiority in the league, or will Verona be able to turn their fortunes around and grab a vital win?
