Hellas Verona vs Atalanta Prediction

Hellas Verona finished ninth last season in the league. However, their season was powered by the finishing prowess of Giovanni Simeone, and the Argentina international moved to Napoli this summer. With striker Gianluca Caprari, another player who scored in excess of 10 league goals last season, having left the club, it will be interesting to see who produces in attack this time around.

Atalanta, on the other hand, finished eighth last season. They have sold important players like Remo Freuler this summer, while squad players like Matteo Pessina and Aleksei Miranchuk have also departed. Atalanta have set high standards in recent years under Gasperini's management, but there have been murmurs of discontent of late.
