Atalanta vs Venezia prediction: team news, lineups, expert analysis

Atalanta vs Venezia team news and expert analysis
The Bergamo club parted ways with long-serving head coach Gasperini last summer. Without him, they slipped to seventh place. Now under Sarri, they began the season by getting past Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Conference League qualifying round and recording a couple of league wins, but then suffered three straight defeats to Roma, Cagliari and Juventus.
The team from the popular city on the water is a typical "yo-yo club" that was relegated from Serie A in 2025 after finishing second from bottom, but won Serie B and returned... only to be eliminated from the cup by their second opponent, Udinese, and start the league campaign with five defeats.
Samardzic and his teammates score an average of 1.4 goals per match. Things are predictably poor for the newly promoted underdogs: they score just 0.8 goals per game and concede 2.6.
