Atalanta will look to build on their impressive 5-1 victory over Genoa when they face Venezia in Serie A’s Round 8. After producing one of their best performances of the season, the Orobici will aim to continue their strong form, with summer signing Mateo Retegui leading the charge after netting a hat-trick in their last league match. However, Atalanta will be without key players Djimsiti, Scalvini, Scamacca, and Toloi, while Matteo Ruggeri remains doubtful.

Venezia, on the other hand, have had a difficult start to the season, already suffering five defeats. Back-to-back losses against AS Roma and Verona before the international break have raised concerns, and they will need a major improvement to stand a chance against Atalanta. Eusebio Di Francesco, however, will have a full squad at his disposal as he seeks to turn Venezia’s fortunes around. The match is scheduled for October 20, 2024, at 14:00.

Venezia vs Atalanta Prediction
Based on current form and key stats, Atalanta come into this match as clear favorites, especially after their commanding 5-1 win over Genoa. With Mateo Retegui in red-hot form, scoring 7 goals this season, and a dynamic attacking setup, Atalanta are well-positioned to break down Venezia’s defense. Despite missing key players like Djimsiti, Scalvini, and Scamacca, Atalanta’s depth and quality should give them enough firepower to secure a positive result.

Venezia, on the other hand, have had a challenging start to the season with five losses, and they will need to significantly improve their form to compete with Atalanta. Venezia’s ability to score early (40% of their goals coming in the first 15 minutes) could be a factor, especially since Atalanta have been vulnerable in the 15-30 minute window. However, Venezia’s lack of consistent attacking output and Atalanta’s superior possession play (56.00% average) are likely to tilt the balance in favor of the visitors.
Predicted Scoreline: Venezia 1-3 Atalanta
Atalanta’s attacking firepower, combined with Venezia’s struggles in defense, suggests that the visitors will take all three points. Venezia may find a way to score, especially early in the match, but Atalanta’s overall quality should see them through to a comfortable victory.
