Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Atalanta & Venezia face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coppa Italia. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Atalanta and Venezia.
Atalanta form and stats
Atalanta was eliminated in the final last season in the Coppa Italia.When playing at home in the Serie A, Atalanta have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 9 games.
It's back home for Atalanta, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Udinese away with the result 6-2. Pašalić, Muriel (2), Malinovskyi, Pessina and Mæhle found the net in that victory. As mentioned above, Atalanta "killed" Udinese in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. The attacking player Muriel was announced as "man of the match" for Atalanta with the rating of 9.24/10. Muriel scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 6 of 7 times.
0-0 away at Genoa before that.The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Atalanta home games with this odds we find eight games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in five wins, two draws and one defeat. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Inter are coming to town in four days.
The Atalanta manager Gasperini has got the team scoring with 18 from 9 home games in the league. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Atalanta defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Venezia form and stats
Venezia's mission in Coppa Italia last season failed in the 3rd round.Venezia have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-3-5 (10 played).
Venezia failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Milan that ended with defeat 0-3. Midfield player Ampadu was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.55/10. Ampadu dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A 1-3 loss hosting Lazio before that.We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Venezia played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected zero times.
After this away game Venezia return home for a Serie A game against Empoli. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Venezia as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. Venezia have conceded 17 goals in these games.
