Atalanta are on a great run of form going into Serie A matchday 15. La Dea are fourth in Serie A and just seven points off of first-place Napoli.
On Tuesday, Atalanta will host 17th-place Venezia in Serie A. Venezia are just above the relegation zone heading into the midweek fixture in Bergamo. They have taken 15 points from 42 points on offer in Serie A.
Venezia are coming off of a 2-0 home loss to Inter Milan at the weekend. It ended a three-match unbeaten run for the Venetian club.
Atalanta and Venezia have not played since the 2003-04 Serie B season. There are no recent trends between these teams. Atalanta are at the top of the Serie A form table.
They took 14 points from the last 18 on offer in the league. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team outscored its last six opponents 14-7.
Venezia took seven points from the last 18 available. They were outscored 9-6 by their last six opponents, however. Venezia have been good on the road this season taking eight of their 15 total points away from home.
Atalanta have not been at their best at home this season. They have taken just nine points from 21 available at the Gewiss Stadium. La Dea have outscored their opponents at home 13-11.
Gasperini has two players on the Atalanta injury list going into the midweek match. Defender Matteo Lovato is ruled out with a hamstring injury. Midfielder Robin Gosens is also ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
Atalanta are coming off of a brilliant 1-0 away win versus Juventus at the weekend. Duvan Zapata’s goal gave the team the win.
Zapata leads Atalanta in Serie A goals with nine in 12 appearances. Atalanta go into Serie A matchday 15 unbeaten in eight straight matches in all competitions.
Venezia have won just two of their last six Serie A matches. Coach Paolo Zanetti has just one player on the injury list ahead of the game. Luca Fiordilino is likely to miss the game following a hernia injury. Venezia are led in goals this season by David Okereke and Mattia Aramu with four apiece.
Atalanta are in brilliant form with three straight Serie A matches ending in wins. La Dea should claim another Serie A win at the expense of Venezia. Gasperini’s team should claim a win to nil versus the newly-promoted side.
