Hellas Verona form and stats

Hellas Verona are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi. 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats is the summary from 8 games.

Hellas enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Venezia's place. The match ended 4-3 with Simeone (2) and Caprari scoring. A very satisfying win for Hellas against Venezia last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-3. The win was secured through Simeone's goal in the 85th minute. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Attacking player Giovanni Simeone outshone all the other players in that fixture and got a match rating of 8.33 out of 10. Simeone scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cagliari that ended 0-0.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Empoli are coming to town in three days.

Goals decide football matches and Hellas are scoring many of them at home; 18 on target from 8 league matches. Hellas have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Atalanta form and stats

The strength of Atalanta on their travels this season is incredible with 22 points collected from 8 Serie A away games. Atalanta has 7-1-0 on the road, with 18 goals scored and 8 conceded. Atalanta are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eight in a row without losing.

Home advantage was not enough for Atalanta in their previous game, as they lost their Champions League-match, hosting Villarreal, 2-3. Hitting the posts three times in the Villarreal game proved expensive as Atalanta lost 2-3. Attacker Josip Iličić got a player rating of 8.32 in the game. "Man of the match" Iličić served one assist and hit six key passes.

Preceding that game was the away Serie A victory against Napoli with the score of 3-2.

Atalanta have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 18 goals from 8 away matches. As opposed to that, Atalanta have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Data for the previous ten meetings between these two participants are: three wins for Hellas, three draws and four wins for Atalanta. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
