Verdict
Given Atalanta’s sharper recent results and defensive solidity, they are the favourites to claim victory at the Bentegodi. However, Verone’s tendency to concede and Atalanta’s mixed form in Europe suggest the match could be tight and low-scoring. Expect a disciplined encounter with Atalanta edging it through their attacking trio and organisation in defence.
