Season Form & Standings
2025/26 Serie A season so far
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atalanta | 12 | 13 | 3 | 7 | 3 | 16 | 14 | +2 | 16 |
| Hellas Verona | 20 | 13 | 0 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 20 | -12 | 6 |
Verona remain the only team in Serie A yet to win, with a concerning goal difference (-12) and the lowest points tally. Atalanta’s position is mid-table, built on strong defensive numbers and the ability to grind out draws (7 in 13 games).
Potential Match-Winners
- Henry Camara (Atalanta): Expected to spearhead the attack and is priced at 9/2 (18.2%) to score first. Atalanta’s attacking output is nearly double Verona’s.
- Daniel Maldini (Atalanta): A creative influence, likely to contribute to Atalanta’s superior assist tally (11 for the season).
- Junior Ajayi (Hellas Verona): Among Verona’s limited attacking options, needs more supply given Verona’s high shot accuracy (47.75%) but low goal output.
Key stat: Verona’s high shot accuracy masks a lack of chance creation – their 8 goals is the lowest in Serie A, despite hitting the target nearly half the time. Atalanta, by contrast, convert more often from a lower shot accuracy (33.1%), reflecting superior chance quality.
Head-to-Head: Last 5 Meetings
Atalanta have thoroughly dominated this fixture, winning 10 of the last 14 meetings and scoring 35 goals to Verona’s 12. Verona last beat Atalanta away in 2019.

Conclusion
Can Hellas Verona halt their historic slide and finally take three points, or will Atalanta’s superior firepower and head-to-head dominance continue? With Atalanta’s record in this fixture and Verona struggling for goals, the away win stands out as the best value – especially at 4/6 with Bet365 (60.0% implied). Expect a low-scoring contest unless Verona can break their attacking malaise.
