Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Atalanta will be aiming to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Genoa when they take on Venezia in the Serie A round 8. The Orobici produced their best performance of the season against the Rossoblu and they surely want the trend to be continued. The opposition back-line should have summer signing Mateo Retegui at bay as the 25-year-old scored a hat-trick in the last league match. The likes of Djimsiti, Scalvini, Scamacca, and Toloi remain in the recovery room, while defender Matteo Ruggeri is a major doubt.
I Lagunari, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team already suffering five defeats in the process. As Venezia failed to impress in back-to-back losses to AS Roma and Verona before the international break, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. Eusebio Di Francesco should have a full squad to choose from.
