Atalanta vs. Venezia 11/30/21 Serie A Soccer Picks, Best Bets and Odds

Atalanta is hosting Venezia at Gewiss Stadium in round 15 of the Italian Serie A. Atalanta is on fire right now, they haven’t lost any of their last 8 games, and they are scoring a ton of goals. Venezia has had a few good results lately which got them out of the relegation zone, but that is not nearly enough to stay there.

Atalanta has 4 wins and 4 draws in their last 8 games, and they are finally back in the top 4 in Serie A, and honestly, they belong there. Offensively, Atalanta is one of the best teams in the league, they have scored 28 goals so far, and I think we are yet to see the best of them. In their last Serie A game against Juventus this past weekend, Atalanta has had a solid game with 41% of ball possession, 1 shot on goal, 4 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 76% of the correct passes. When I watched this game, I had a feeling Atalanta was playing just as much as they needed, and it was enough for a 0-1 win. Zapata has been in excellent form for Atalanta with 9 scored goals so far. Pasalic has added 4 goals and 5 assists. Atalanta will be facing Young Boys in the Champions League next week, and that is a game they need to win if they want to advance.

Venezia is now in 16^th place with 15 points, which is outside the relegation zone, but unless they start scoring more goals, they will find themselves back in the relegation zone. Venezia has scored only 12 goals so far, and unfortunately for them, their defense wasn’t able to pick up the slack. Venezia has conceded 21 goals so far. Aramu and Okereke are the leading goalscorers for Atalanta with 4 goals each. Venezia has a few very tough games ahead of them, and despite having some solid results lately, I don’t think they are good enough to get many points out of their next 3 games. In their last game against Inter, Venezia has had 44% of ball possession, 1 shot on goal, 3 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 85% of the correct passes. Venezia didn’t stand a chance in this game against Inter who are in great form, and they ended up losing this game 2-0. Is Venezia good enough to stay in Serie A, definitely, can they stay in Serie A, I’m doubtful because they don’t have the depth, but there are still many games left to play.

It’s been a long time since these two teams played a game against each other so I won’t bother with looking at head-to-head games. Atalanta is scoring a ton of goals, especially at home, and they need to keep winning to keep their good form alive, and I think they will get a win here as well.
