Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Hellas Verona take on Atalanta on Monday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Hellas Verona are in 10th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side suffered a 2-0 defeat against Inter Milan last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have failed to meet expectations this year. La Dea crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of RB Leipzig in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Atalanta vs Hellas Verona Head-to-Head

The previous meeting between the two teams took place last year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Atalanta. Hellas Verona were poor on the day and will need to step up this week.
