Given their strong form so far, the visitors are favourites and are our tip to win on the road in these Verona vs. Atalanta predictions. La Dea have been a different proposition so far this season, but there could be goals here.
Verona vs. Atalanta odds
1 – Atalanta to win – 7/8

5 – Lasagna to score anytime – 4/1
Atalanta make the short trip to Verona on Sunday afternoon looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season. In contrast, their weekend hosts have struggled in the opening two weeks with just one point to their name.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have not been particularly active in the transfer market however have seemingly benefitted from stability and continuity. In fact, La Dea look a far more organised unit than the side that finished a disappointing eighth place last season and we back them to secure yet another win at the Bentegodi this weekend.
Atalanta’s first two games of the season have been highly uncharacteristic of their side. The opener saw a rare clean sheet victory which was followed-up with a low-scoring defensive performance from the Orobici.
That having been said, Atalanta remain a highly competent attacking outfit whilst Verona conceded five goals in their opener against Napoli meaning a bet on over 2.5 goals scored in the game or on the visitors to score first should be a winner.
La Sea’s second all-time top goal score Duvan Zapata has yet to get off the mark this season and will be keen to his two goals against Verona. The Colombian is our tip to score first at the Bentegodi.
For the hosts it is worth keeping an eye on summer signing Kevin Lasagna. The forward has failed to impress so far for Cioffi’s side but the manager is expected to keep faith with the Italian who’s pace could expose the likes of Rafael Toloi and Merih Demiral in the heat of Atalanta’s defence.

Verona team news
A poor performance from Kevin Lasagna against Bologna could see his spot under threat from Milan Djuric although the Italian is still likely to get the nod. Miguel Veloso could also be handed a start having returned from injury to feature from the bench last weekend.
Atalanta team news
Brandon Soppy could be handed his Atalanta debut this weekend although will be competing with the popular Hans Hateboer for the right-back slot. Jose Palomino and Davide Zappacosta will both be available although are likely to start on the bench.
