Verona vs Atalanta Prediction 6 December 2025
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Verona and Atalanta in the 14th round of the Italian championship? The teams head into this match in starkly different form: Verona have been suffering defeats in nearly every game, while Atalanta have started showcasing the kind of football fans fondly remember from the Gian Piero Gasperini era. However, it's important to note that the match will take place at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, and the hosts certainly have no intention of going down without a fight.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Verona and Atalanta features 32 matches in recent years. The "Queen of the Provincials" holds a clear advantage with 17 victories compared to 10 for Verona, while 5 encounters ended in a draw. Last season, Atalanta utterly dominated their opponents: they secured a 6-1 victory at home and then delivered a crushing 5-0 win away, leaving Verona with no chance.
Head-to-head statistics Verona - Atalanta
Hellas Verona Team Overview
🔵 This season, Verona have consistently disappointed their fans. After 13 rounds, the team sits at the bottom of the standings with just 6 points. In their last five matches, the Mastiffs have suffered four defeats, managing only a goalless draw away against Lecce (0-0). Despite this, the management is not rushing to dismiss Paolo Zanetti from his position as head coach, giving him a chance to turn the situation around, although the club urgently needs to emerge from this prolonged crisis.
🟡 In the previous round, Verona missed another opportunity to grab points, losing to Genoa (1-2) - an opponent that also had a shaky start. The match began promisingly as Verona opened the scoring in the 21st minute, but they then ceded control to their opponents. Genoa seized the initiative, increased the pressure, and by the 62nd minute had turned the game in their favor. Towards the end, Verona attempted a comeback, creating several dangerous chances, but they failed to capitalize on them.

Atalanta Team Overview
🔵 After changes in their coaching staff, Atalanta seem to have found a new lease on life. Under Juric, the team often stumbled even against weaker opponents, but now they come into the round with a streak of three consecutive clean-sheet victories. Recently, the "Queen of the Provincials" thrashed Genoa 4-0 at home in the Coppa Italia, showcasing high-quality football. Their dominance was overwhelming, creating numerous chances and could have scored even more.
⚫ Atalanta currently hold a modest position in the standings-12th place with 16 points. However, the situation isn't dire: they are just two points away from the top 8, meaning a successful run could dramatically change their standing. Moreover, the era of Raffaele Palladino is just beginning, and recent results inspire optimism for the team's future.

Latest news
Hellas Verona
📣 Verona's head coach Paolo Zanetti, following their 2-1 defeat to Genoa, admitted that the team repeated old mistakes once again: "We started well and responded decently after conceding, but we couldn't turn the game around. It's the same story as always, and I take responsibility. The guys need to keep believing... Today, history repeated itself: we pay dearly for our own mistakes, but we must not stop believing." Addressing rumors about his future, Zanetti calmly replied: "I don't know if I'll be on the bench against Atalanta. A coach must stay in the boat and sail through the storm as long as the club wishes."
🚫 Verona face significant squad issues. Tomas Suslov remains unavailable-he is out until the end of February 2026 due to a cruciate ligament injury. Several players won't return until mid-December: Domagoj Bradaric and Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro are recovering from muscle injuries, while Suat Serdar is dealing with a knee injury. Roberto Gagliardini will miss the upcoming match due to suspension (accumulation of yellow cards). Grigoris Kastanos is also doubtful as he experiences muscle discomfort.
Atalanta
📣 Atalanta's head coach Raffaele Palladino, following their emphatic 4-0 victory over Genoa in the Coppa Italia, emphasized that only those who are physically and mentally prepared take the field: "I don't believe in rotation for the sake of rotation-those in the best form play. Everyone must feel part of the team." Palladino praised the squad for their unity and inner strength: "I have a very powerful group in my hands, with immense human and playing qualities. We need to keep this momentum going-Verona is next." The coach also confirmed that the team is setting high goals for themselves: "We want to win the Coppa Italia and go all the way-this is a goal shared by myself, the players, and the entire club."
🚫 Atalanta also face significant personnel challenges. Mitchel Bakker remains unavailable, with an ACL injury sidelining him until at least March 2026. Giorgio Scalvini and Kamaldeen Sulemana are expected to return from muscle injuries by mid-December.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Verona are struggling significantly in attack, sitting at the bottom of Serie A for goals scored with just 8 to their name. Even when the "Mastiffs" create opportunities, they fail to capitalize effectively: in their recent match against Genoa (1-2), they found the net only once despite an xG of 2.93. Atalanta, on the other hand, have tightened up defensively under Raffaele Palladino, keeping three consecutive clean sheets and looking much more assured on the field. Given these circumstances, it's logical to bet on Verona not scoring.
🚩 Corner Prediction
For those interested in betting on set pieces, consider the option of Verona over 3.5 corners. This bet has consistently paid off, as in their last 7 home head-to-head matches against Atalanta in Serie A, the "Mastiffs" have consistently surpassed this mark. Additionally, Verona are currently in a challenging position in the standings and are compelled to play aggressively, aiming to attack more frequently and seek out chances near the opponent's goal.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Atalanta are the clear favorites in the upcoming clash. Had this match taken place a month ago, our editorial team might have pondered the outcome, but now there is little doubt. With Juric's departure, the "Queen of the Provincials" seem to have left their troubles behind: they have won their last three matches with an aggregate score of 9-0, displaying an impressive level of football. Verona, on the other hand, have struggled even against teams like Genoa (1-2) and Parma (1-2), making it hard to believe in any real chances for the hosts. We are backing an Atalanta victory. We expect to see a scoreline of 0-2 on the board.
